It's not like I'm going to get rid of her because she is little. I know some breeders won't give you a tiny if you have small kids. But I know that there are plenty of people who have tiny babies, both fur and skin. Somebody is selling them to families with small children. Including my family. What I find ironic, though, is that my children have been great with Cali, and that the person who actually dropped her (resulting in her broken leg), was a grown man. So, what does that actually say? And I have always worried about any pet that I have had, big and small. But nothing like I have for Cali. And that is because she is a tiny, fragile dog. Love her to death, but it is what it is. |
My 1st sentence stated no offense taken from what you typed, but you seem to have defended yourself in what I typed. I wasn't trying to ruffle feathers, like you said, it is what it is. Yes, someone is selling them to families with small children, it's a money thing. We all know this, you can kinda figure you are getting a tiny one when you pick up your puppy. What I was implying is that now precautions have to be taken whether it's an adult or child around. You should worry about any pet, I was speaking up for the tiny ones. It's good your kids are good with you little one, that wasn't my point, but it's neither here nor there. We get them, we own them and now we have to watch over them a little more. There's always comments made about people who own tinies. Comments are made, feelings are expressed. l know that I will always stick with the smaller ones. Here's hoping your little ones leg is ok.
