I also have a toddler that I would admit in a heartbeat he was being too rough with her....if he was. I was always there when he was around. He was only allowed to pet them if they were on my lap. They almost always are...All my son had to do was walk up to me and Arizona would just go crazy with growling and snaping.
Im sorry I have no advice to give you on how to fix it because obviously I failed but I can tell you is that you need to do what is best for your family and your other pets. There are just some pets that can only be placed in certain homes. If you have ever looked and your local shelter website, most post things such as no kids, no other pets, or both.
Everyone here is doing well and I know Arizona is doing well because I have been keeping in touch with their new family. It hurts but I tried.
Good luck, I wish you the best. Keep us posted. |
Thank you for your post. It was nice to hear from someone who has actually been here and knows where I'm standing right now. I think most people can sympathise but you really have no idea how hard this situation is untill you've been in it yourself.
I don't think you failed at all. Just did what was in the best interest for your son and your family. If it comes down to rehoming I will place her myself and I will vet very carefully. I'm glad you found a nice home for Arizona and she is doing well.
