They don't know how frightening it is to have a 50 to 100 pound dog bounding toward your 5 pound dog. Gracie isn't afraid but I sure am. I'm not going to take a chance just to keep them from being offended. |
I know that's right! Personally, I prefer dogs that are under 20 pounds because
I am afraid of them. I have friends that have larger dogs and their dogs are well behaved, but if they get excited and run towards me, I do get frightened - and that's just me. My chihuahua is afraid of larger dogs, so it really wouldn't be cool for me to have her around big dogs, and with CoCo only being about 3 pounds right now, I can't take any chances. I don't want to offend anyone either, but the safety of my baby comes first.
