Is the way my dog is sitting gonna hurt her in the long run?
My pomeranian mix lies down with her front paws curled under. We think it's super cute but we are also worried that it might give her joint problems later in life. It's not her elbow, where they normally get problems, but her wrist almost. She's 4 months old if that means anything to anyone, Thanks!

Some dogs feel comfortable this way, I wouldn't worry about it. However, be aware that Pomeranians do suffer from luxating patella (slipping kneecaps). This is a genetic problem that occurs in the breed, and having a veterinarian examine her kneecaps can give you an idea as to how bad she may have this issue in the future. Keeping her from jumping off of high furniture is a good idea.

She'll be fine...no worries...lots of dogs fold their front paws underneath them when they lie down...
