While visiting my family over Christmas, I was trying hard to keep Vivi safe while all the cousins age 4-18 were running around. SHe had a safe fenced off area with her crate,food/water, and peepeepads.I carefully explained to all the younger kids that Vivi was really small and could easily get hurt. As the week continued and nothing happened I let my guard down and one of my four year old nephews picked her up and as I asked him to please sit her down he just opened his arms and dropped her on her head....she was fine but it could have gone the other way. She was shaking and scared and ran to hide....They can get hurt so fast and I was standing there right in front of the situation.
..Next time I will be even more cautious. I think even the best behaved children can have accidents and if I had small children around I would pick a larger sized yorkie or a different breed of dog. When my daughter was young, we had two wonderful golden retrievers, Daisy and Sam ..rip...and they were so good with all children even babies.
