Obviously there are different cautions you take with smaller ones then bigger ones. |
Ah, I didn't know that, ty for that info. Moxie is about 7lbs and I like that she is portable and I can take her around w/ me & carry her but that she is not so delicate I am too afraid to take her out for fear for her getting injured. I want her to be able to romp around and play with other dogs.
