I have 5 kids ages 13-11-10-6-4 They say yes Ma'am they answer the phone with. One of two greetings the 3 older kids are, This is the @@@@@ residence. ______ Speaking, how can I help you? The two younger, _____ speaking one moment I'll get my Mommy.
They are gentle and kind. They hold our tiny girls gently and watch out for them. My 4yo baby holds our 4lb yorkie and croons to her, your my pretty girl.
It would break my heart if they were ever unkind to something so helpless as an animal of any kind let alone a tiny yorkie. I would have failed in a huge way.

I totally agree! A child learns what he/she is taught. And they also need to know that there will be consequences for their actions, be it good or bad. And if he isn't allowed to your house for a while, he needs to know and understand that is his consequence. Your brother and sister in law have failed with this child, as a lot of parents are now adays, believing that the kid is good no matter what. They are not held accountable anymore.
I am so glad your baby is ok, and you should be very proud of your son, for sticking up for himself, and your dog. What a good guy he is.

my brother was over too, and all he said was he did not hurt her! Well yes, he did hurt her. Because the rest of the night I tried to pet Suzi, and every time she saw my hand reach out for her, she was scared and shy! Suzi has never been scared of being petted, now that this kid, a family member did what he did my puppy is frightend....
Since my son got in a arguement with his cousin , which always happens, my brother finally said that he will not bring over my nephew ever again. Well that is just fine with me!
My son who has high functioning autism, talked about his cousin for 5 hrs straight, the rest of the night. How mean he is. Well that kid, is a punk! He has a probation officer! 11 yrs old he got into trouble... This is a good kid? my ass!
anyhow, i just needed to vent! How dare anyone do that to my little puppy!

I know how you feel because I have the man that came to pick his daughter at my house. Lexie came to say hi who is 2lb & he pushed her out of the way and she hit her head on my closet door.

Some people are very selfish and don't care about others at all!!!

Talk calmly to your baby and offer fav treats and maybe things will be fine.

wow, i am sorry that happened to your baby! i hope she is ok!

gosh! what's wrong with people!

actually, something kind of bad like that happened to milu once. a little girl picked milu up by her ears. we told the little girl no, and took milu away from her. but she keeps screaming because she wants to hold the dog. so we kept the dog away from the little girl, but the dad got a little offended and said that his daughter just really likes dogs.

that little girl kept screaming because we wouldn't let her touch the dog. i mean, i let her hold the dog once when i was holding milu, but she squeezed SO HARD, i thought she was going to break milu's back.

i really wanted to tell her parents that she is a brat. but i bit my toung and just kept my mouth shut.

but gosh, she made me hate little kids for that day. usually i just love little kids. i still do, but that girl was just a brat, too bad she didn't have parents who would teach her it's not ok to scream and throw things when you don't get what you want...

poor lexie! just being friendly and got push and hit her little head

gosh if i was there i would kick that man for you!!!!
oh yea, and then toss a couple of concrete blocks over his head while i am at it! some people are so stupid. what was a little 2 lb dog going to do to him that he had to push her? cute him to death?

what a jerk!

I know the feeling. When I first got Nala and she was no more than 4 lbs my ex boyfriend smacked her into a wall because he was afraid she would bite him! My heart sunk and I immediately craddled Nala in my arms, she's fine now...but that day she was really calm (which she is normally a crazy ball of energy) and slept on and off all day. He left after the many choice words I had for him - I didn't care, I was so scared for my baby. Your little one will be fine...

I just don't think some people understand how tiny these dogs are. Yes they're strong and spunky but humans just don't know their own strength when it comes to those kinds of actions.

Geez if the dad was so offended that you wouldn't let his daughter hold milu, he needs to teach her how to be gentle. I hate when parents just give in to their kids so they don't have to hear them scream and holler.
It's what made me quit working with little kids. Too many parents think their kids are angels then get offended when there is a problem with their behavior!

Thank goodness all 4 of my kids have such a love for animals. They always want to keep every stray they see.
I also do have another nephew that wasn't always nice to animals and is grown now. He's still a mess, always in trouble and treats people nice only if he's going to get something out of it. My brother did all he could to try to change him but his ex (the mother of my nephew) is a real piece of work.

Oh yes, they can get cocky. Mine can too but your kids wanting to bring home every stray and their love for animals says something about them. I think that the way someone cares for things weaker than themselves good or bad really says what type of a person they are.
