Not that plenty don't get by with this combo and nothing happens but it is a always a risk to have small children around a tiny, fragile animal - a chance I just could never take. We take enough chances having a small Yorkie share our lives and adding extra risk to the daily activity of living is one risk too much. |
The other thing that gets me is that people don't realize that a 7 pound, or even a 10 pound dog is still tiny and fragile.
