I have a friend whose yorkie was only about 1.5-2lbs, her 4 y/o daughter(who is very rough) had the baby on a recliner with her--she decided she was done playing with her and shoved her off the chair, the baby landed on her head and died--the vet said she probably did something to her brain stem. My friend was devastated.
Another thing that happened with my yorkie, I was in our chain link fenced yard talking on the phone and cleaning up poo when I see my baby on the other side of the fence. She was in the house, but the kids didn't latch the front door--she could hear me, so she went out the front and came around to the back where I was. I couldn't believe the stinker did that!!!
Oh, and when I first got her--the kids go in and out our gate to go to the park. Well, one night I let the dogs out(I was careless and didn't check the gate), and when I left them in--the yorkie was of course gone. I freaked out and started calling her and looking around the back area. I yelled at the kids and told them to get their shoes on to help me find her. I went out the front door calling her--thankfully I had her bell on her and could here her running up the road to find me, she was scared and happy to see me. That taught the kids a very big lesson and they are extra careful with keeping the gate closed.
I am sorry to all of you who didn't have a happy ending. |
