Okay, I'm kinda in shock right now. I'm so angry. I'm babysitting my friend's 2 yr old little girl & 10 yr old son. They've been here about 1 hour and I just happened to be out of the room for one minute - I was in the kitchen which is open into the living room where Sugar was laying. I walked back into the lr & the little girl was saying, "I kick Sugar" and I saw that she was kicking Sugar in the head over & over. Luckily she was doing it gently, but still, I couldn't believe it! I put her in time out, I don't know that she's ever been in time out before, and she was not happy. She tried to kick me so I held her in my lap while she was in time out. I let her out after about 1 minute and told her she had to tell Sugar that she was sorry. She threw a fit & refused. I tried for a while & she wouldn't do it so it was back to time out again. I kept calmly explaining that we don't hit, kick, or bite in this house and that includes the animals. She's tried to hit & bite my 5 yr old daughter before when she didn't get her way. Anyway, she finally, grudgingly, said that she was sorry. Sugar sat & watched all of this happening just like she was waiting for an apology. After all that I asked her brother if she kicks their cat and he said that she's very mean to their cat. This is just unbelievable because the older 2 kids are very well behaved & weren't allowed to misbehave when they were little. This little girl was a surprise & she's 8 yrs younger than one & 10 yrs younger than the oldest. I'm just hoping that this doesn't turn Sugar against kids. She has the sweetest disposition & she loves everyone. I'm trying to keep her right at my side now but she wants to go check on the kids. I think she thinks she's missing out on the fun. Has anyone else had this happen before? Any suggestions to help make sure Sugar doesn't take this too personally? I had both of my girls give Sugar a big hug so that she'll know they felt sorry for her. Sorry for the long post, I'm just so frustrated I could scream! Hopefully the next 2 1/2 hours fly by!
