| Never ever ever leave children and a dog alone together, especiallly a toddler with a toy breed puppy. You have got to teach your daughter how to treat the puppy, and you must always supervise them when they are together. Most breeders will not sell to families with young children because of situations like this. Your puppy can be seriously injured or killed

| I keep my four month old yorkie in an xpen that is close to me when I can't comepletly watch him. My four year old is not allowed to get him out and play with him unless I am around to supervise. They still get plenty of playtime together though. Their favorite is watching cartoons together while snuggling under a blanket. Like your child, my daughter thinks he is a live stuffed animal that she can play with and dress-up. Hence the constant supervision and strict rules! Good luck with your littlel ones and hopefully you won't have such a scare again! |

| who is watching your 3 year old while she is doing all this? How scary! I just have to say that my 9 year old son doesn't even pick up any of our dogs. That puppy is way too tiny to be carried about by a toddler. It's very dangerous as you learned tonight. I hope you will watch this puppy more carefully.

This is one of my main concerns as a breeder when I have a prospective new owner wanting one of my babies and I find out they have small children. It's not that I'm against children, but I can tell you this is one of the reasons I have not ever allowed one of my babies to go to homes with small children. I am glad your baby is okay and I do hope this is a lesson learned and won't happen again. Please use this unfortunate accident as a new start to propery teach your daughter the proper ways to treat a puppy! | |

| poor baby What happen was we were all watching Runs House i thought my older daughter had Yashi up in her room which is right next to the 3 yr olds room. and sometimes Yashi likes to go in my 3 yr old room and steal toys when she sleeping it was a real accident we always watch our yorkie baby when our 3 yr old is up cause she is so busy . we would never let nothing happen to our baby we do use a play pen which is right by me but i let her out for a while cause i thought she was asleep in her bed room . its all my fault i deserve to be hit on for that never again though my poor baby i feel so bad right now ... |

| I know that it can be hard being a mom and watching everyone at the same time, but you did decide to get your yorkie and I am sure that you put alot of energy into taking good care of your furbaby. If would hurt so bad to loose her to your todler. i usually pack Copper arround with me but when I am bussy I have an X pen set up or I can lock my bedroom and he likes to sleep on my sofa in there. I have not had this problem with Emma (my daughter) She wont even pick him up without asking and making sure that she is sitting down with him first, but I still don't leave him or her alone and especially not together. Maybe you can create a "safe place" that you can put you furbaby that you skin baby cannot get to. Accidents happen so fast.

| Dont beat yourself up..we all learn from mistakes..luckily the puppy is ok and your daughter will learn..we all know that yelling wont help and its not her fault..she is just being a 3 year old, she doesnt know the consequences..just keep on explaining it to her and watch them both closely..

| glad Yashi is ok! what a scary situation.. and like you said could have been much worse..but accidents happen! now you know you have to watch lil Yashi, even THAT much more closely! They really are so tiny and delicate..(especially when they are just puppies) maybe you can use this as an example..and tell ur 3 year old what happened!-maybe she will understand a little bit better, using an example like this?! good luck. and WELCOME TO YT!!

| I am glad your baby is OK. I know how those things can happen. You really have to be on your toes when you have a small pet and a small child. I have a 4 yr old daugter myself (who also has one of those Dora kitchens lol). It has been drilled into her head not to ever ever EVER pick Susanah up, but she is a child and she occasionally "forgets" and tries to pick her up anyway. Luckily those times are few and far between. She knows that its Ok for her to hold and play with Susanah as long as she is sitting on the floor and a grown up is there too. I can definitely understand why some breeders are hesitant (or even refuse) to sell to a family with a small child.

| I am glad the puppy is ok...........I think she is way too young to be "playing" with a 3month old yorkie...........Yorkies are fragil. I hope I dont sound rude, but I think you should be more careful about the poor little dog before a tragedy happens . I have a 7 year old son, but when I got my maltese and yorkie he was only 5. Here is what I did......... 1. Never allow a small child carry puppy around. 2. Please supervise when she is "petting" the puppy, only allow this while she is sitting down on the floor. 3. Always keep the puppy or child within eye sight. There is alot I can list...........but most of all please keep the puppy safe. If you teach your daughter now she will be a great pet owner one day.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I have two little boys, they will be 4 and 5 in a few weeks. I cannot leave them around my Guinnie without me EVER. My oldest is usually the more mild one, but he had a huge issue with Guinness and his teething, so I know to not let him around him without me there. My youngest is much more gentle but they both like to run with Guinness and have him chase them, I worry so badly they will hurt him. So, I limit the time and make sure they know to sit still and pet Guinnie and not run, we are learning how to play tug of war with him. It's constant. I'm glad your puppy is okay and I think a sterm talk with your daughter will help, but you will probably have to constantly remind her. I use the word 'gentle' over and over with my boys. (((hugs))) I'm sure you got a big scare with that
