hmmmm....my 2 cents.  I currently have a 2 lb, 1 lb 12 ounce and a 1 1/2 lb yorkies.  I AM more careful with them.  I watch them more closely around my children.  I watch them more closely around my other 2 yorkies...but then again, I'm talking about puppies. 

 But, I would treat an adult 2 lb yorkie the same.  They're going to be smaller in size, have smaller frames so why wouldn't I treat them differently?
