An old saying, "Just bc you went and got checked out at the dr and everything was ok does not mean I was wrong in telling you to go - it means you were lucky and the things I knew could be wrong w you weren't." |
Heck I knew if I fell 6 ft, almost everything would be broken.
Just another tip to the OP as well..
I'm very tall too. And I know even I'm not prepared for how wiggly these guys can be. However, Gizmo almost always has his step-in harness on and if I feel like he's going to be a wiggle worm, or someone new is picking him up, I tell them to hold onto the harness as well.
