yizzl ... don't
ever worry about what anybody thinks or what they say!! I had always been one to not speak up [I am 61 yrs old!] ... didn't want to offend anyone! Toto has changed me all the way around!
I don't allow children [even our young grandchildren!] to hold her ... they may sit on the floor and let her crawl all over them and play with her until
she tires of
them! The youngest person allowed to hold her while standing is our 15 year old granddaughter! There are even adults not allowed to hold her ... it surprises me that complete strangers would even ask!
We always pick her up if a dog larger than her approaches her until we "meet" and we are certain there is no danger for her!
So ... I have learned to do what's best for Toto and really not care what anyone else thinks!!
