I had a situation here just 3 days ago..grandbaby here for the day, she has been carefully monitored around my three Yorkies for the 2 1/2 years of her life. She is constantly taught how to pet them, not to pick them up and so on. We are all laying on the bed watching a movie,as we have done many times, all dogs there too, I get up to change the movie thats 2 feet from the bed and she jumps up and lands on my little 5 lb male Yogi!! Was totally my fault, and I felt horribly angry with myself. He snapped back out of instinct, didn't break the skin, but got her right by her lip!!! Now, I can say things happen way to fast, even though I have felt like I am on guard when she is here to assure the dogs and her safety!!! It really scared me! A totally innocent situation could have been a really bad one.. I can comfortably say from my own history, small dogs shouldn't be placed in homes with small children and I will firmly stand by this. We just have a situation of my dogs were here first and I adore them and my Granddaughter, so we continue to teach her. |
