i'd like to comment on small children and small animals. Children can be taught at a early age to handle little animials the right way. However, a child who is left unsupervised with a small animal/is never ok. Children are impulsive and will act without thinking. They do not consider their behavior to the consquences . Children do not act the same when they are not supervised . AS soon as they are left alone , they are "going to behave a lot differently"
Of course ever parent will say "my child " knows how to behave . Or has been taught. The parent would be surprised to find out just how their kid really acts when the parent is not around .
SUPERVISION. Never leave a little dog alone with a small child. Some parents are not fully commited in doing so. It is too easy for accidents to occur . Small animals are the ones that are always going to be hurt. And it happens quickly.
Vicky, I am so glad you were able to take in this precious yorkie. I am glad he does not mind three legs.
Thank you for posting this. IMO, it was not offensive at all. Actually , in all the Yorkie books I've read it is reccomended that yorkies should not go to homes that have very young children in them. |
Thanks so much for your kind words. I don't feel like anything special for taking him in. I feel special because he came into my life. The avatar smiling is my Harley. My husband is jealous of the attention my furkids get but thats just one of the reasons he's my soon-to-be-ex. These heartbeats at my feet have given me more joy than I ever thought I could have in my life. If someone doesn't want them in their life then they're not going to be in mine. Plain and simple.
I'm glad I posted Harley's story. If just one person learned something..then it was worth it.
