i have 5 kiddies. 8, 6, 4, 2, and 10 months i got my first yorkie in Dec.... i basically kept them separated but we are all slowly learning to coexist. mainly i've kept the furbabies away from the small children. my 2 year old would always try to pick up Troy (the smallest of the 2). Troy would just run from her. Walker would always try to be in my 2 year olds face but she would run from him. my 10 month could care less about either furbaby. but they just love him to death. i think its because hes on their level but he really doesn't want to have anything to do with them. so since learning this i am ready to have the furbabies out and about more. but that won't be to much as we are still potty training. i think it just all depends on the kids and the furbaby. but you have to teach the kids how to interact with the furbabies and what they are allowed to do and not do. |
