So today I realized how horrible a habit of mine was, and I have already resolved to make an effort to fix it. I affectionately call Milo's legs "chicken legs" all the time and remark at how his legs are made, sturdy enough, but close enough to a feline's to make him pretty agile (and also seemingly fragile). I mean this guy, when running through the house and jumping, amazes me at his speed and ability to jump some nice heights.
However, today, I was brushing him while standing up and I simply stooped not even all the way to "let him go"--and I say let him go because when you release him he zooms off after being brushed for some reason--and I realized that I don't really ever put him down, I hold him at his belly and drop him like 10 inches off the floor! I mean I am almost sure I do this all the time and pay absolutely no attention to it, and mostly because he goes about his business and I mine. The crazy thing is that I am not uneducated about how this breed is prone to hip problems, and yet I have been completely remiss. I may be over-reacting, I know he jumps from higher heights than 10 inches on his own, but I don't want to be part of the problem, if that makes any sense.
Anyways, a sorry to my Mymy, lol
