He pushed my puppy off the couch! My 12yr old Nephew was over last night, and Suzi who is 10 months old, 7 lbs went to say hi to my nephew. She is a face licker , so the kid pushes my baby off the couch :mad: I did not see it, however, my 15 yr old son did. He was pissed. 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! :mad: |
Most kids that age are little punks, it's so aggravating. My little brother is 13 and he drives me NUTS. If he ever pushed Lilly off the couch or did anything to hurt her, I'd hate it for him. |
I am sorry your baby was pushed and scared. People really need to train their kids how to handle dogs, big and small. |
The thing is that my brother has a bunch of dogs and cats. He has two little ones inside, and the female has just had her 4rth litter! There is no reason or excuse that my nephew would do that.... just becasue the pup was going to lick him? Anyway, I really don't want him over again.:thumbdown |
I'm so sorry that happened to Suzy (and your family) I will keep control of my words the best I can and remember that it is still your family and refrain from saying something way too harsh. But, I think it's a wonderful idea that he not bring him to your home again , atleast until he learns how to show respect to everyone in your family , including Suzy. I can understand your sons anger and frustration. It's hard for anyone to see something like that being taken so casually by someone else because they don't want to admit the truth of what their child did. That would have angered me to no end knowing he was trying to protect the bad behavior :mad: I hope for your nephew's sake , as well as all the other people and animals your nephew will encounter , that his Dad learns to stop making excuse after excuse for his son. I'm glad Suzy wasn't physically hurt and I'm sure with all your love and affection she will be back to herself in no time. |
If that kid ever comes over again, Hide the dog!! Put the dog in the bedroom or something. There is no excuse for what he did. He is not a baby who doesn't know any better. What is wrong with him. Thank goodness your baby wasn't physically hurt. She will come around, just keep trying to pet her and once she sees she won't be hurt she will trust again. Give her a big hug from Coco Pebbles and Trixie. That big fresh bully!!:ghug: |
Like a lot of kids that age, sounds like your nephew is a little trouble maker. (I have a 14 nephew like that too, complete with probation officer. :rolleyes:) I would have never given it the opportunity to happen--my dog wouldn't have been around him in the first place. |
I am so sorry for both Suzy and your son! Is she coming around today? I too have a 15 year old son with autism. I know how traumatic this kind of thing might be for him. I wouldn't allow the nephew in the house if he can't treat ALL with respect. I hope things are better today. |
I am sorry this happened to your family. I would be furious! |
I would be pissed too. How is your baby acting now? |
OMG!!!.....I don't blame you for being pissed either ! Your son sounds like one smart kid. But, family is something that you have to deal with. You don't want to be mad forever. The reasone for this is my father in law died 4 years ago and my kids are 21 and 25. My daughter is mildly retarded and neither one new their grandparents. They were afraid of my daughter. Now how stupid is that? Let's say they were people you didn't want to be around. He never new his grandchildren from the son that took care of him when he was dying. It's sad, he missed alot. Well now my 25 year old daughter is extreamly close to her grandmother and grandma treats us with more respect than she ever did before. It's amazing what the grandparents missed with my kids. Grandma even loves Roxy! Maybe you can just tell him he can't touch the dog ever again. Kids are stupid at that age. Or on a lighter note.........let your son beat the crap out of him ! LOL........that might work........glad the baby is ok. |
Oh my goodness.. I hope your little one is okay. I really can't believe a child would do something like that.. or think doing something like that is okay.. I am absolutely shocked. |
Sorry to hear this, and hope Suzi is doing ok. Lucky she isn't a tiny 3-4 pounder or she might have had serious injuries from this thoughtless actions. Sounds like this boy needs some socialization training in general. |
Yes, I am lucky Suzi is not a A 3-4 lber. I was not prepared for my nephew to be so mean to the puppy... Of course i would not of had Suzi near him in the first place. My son and nephew have never got along well, so I really do not think he will be over any time soon. Suzi is still scared when i try and pet her, she shies away now. that is the saddest part of the whole thing. now i got a hand shy puppy, yes it did affect her, not physically though. I did not see the incident occur, however my son did and is absolutely furious, as I am. Problem is that my brother makes excuses for his kid. That is why he is the way he is. i needed to put this down here on YT because Suzi is a memberof our family. We love her so much that it kills us to see her mistreated. Some people may think it was not a big deal, however, I see what it has done to Suzi and that is WRONG> |

What a terrible thing for your nephew to do! Sounds like there are some MAJOR issues with his behaviour and that his father is not helping the situation. I hope your fur baby is OK. HUGS! |
It's too bad you didn't see it. I would have picked up the puppy and sat down next to my nephew and showed him how tiny her bones are and how easily they can be injured and let him know that she was just trying to kiss him and say hello, if he doesn't like that for him to just get up and move away from her instead of trying to push her that it could hurt her badly. If he's a bad kid though and is mean I'd just make sure to put your baby up while he's around for her own protection or ask your brother if he can't control his son to please not bring him to your home. |
I do not think my brother will bring him over for a while anyway... He likes to blame my son for getting so angry. Brother said he will nOT bring over my punk ass nephew anymore:thumbup: I even had to talk about it in therapy today... I may be overprotective of a little Dog, h owever, tol me she is part of the family and does not need to be treated poorly. Thank you for all the great advice and kind words! :aimeeyork |
I probably would have gone over and pushed the kid off the couch on the floor and said, okay, how did it feel? |

My thoughts exactly. Dogs feel too ! I know hes family but.. OMG, Stupid kid! I cant even imagine being that rude and tottally disrespectful of somebody elses pets when i was that age (Just a few short years ago) |
Treatment of animals tells A LOT about you as a person Most 12 year olds are highly egocentric individuals It goes along with the territory but they still should know not to harm a defenseless animal That really pisses me off I'd be less mad at the kid and more mad at my brother or sister who had raised him this way :mad: |
To keep peace in the house I'd tell my brother he was welcome there, but to let you know ahead of time when he was bringing his son, and you'd make sure your baby was safe. |
I always worry about that happening also. I would make sure to put her in another room or fence her off if you have no other option. My nephew is an absolute sweet heart, but the a few weeks ago he came over. (He is 6 going to be 7 in April) He has always been raised around larger dogs (great danes and dogs at least 50lbs) so he is use to playing with them. We were all sitting on the couch and Suri acts a little crazy with kids. She absolutely loves them. She loves to give kisses but my nephew didn't like it and nudged her, almost off the couch. I had to talk to him about it and told him that if he pushed her off the couch he could really hurt her. I told him if she is bugging you you can tell me or put her down on the floor. He stayed at the house for a week and he did great. He even said sorry to her after and let her give him kisses. :D |

In defence of children that age let me say this.. If a child has no respect for people, talks or acts in a rude manner it is the parents fault. If a child pushes a poor helpless little puppy off a couch I blame the parents for not teaching the child respect or compassion. A child acts on what is has been taught all of it's life. 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. |

And good for your son for sticking up for the little baby! I worked with a few autistic children when I worked for a preschool, they have such big hearts, I loved working with them. |

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. |

My Suzi will never be around Chanse again, and possible in my home ! |

I can't stand kids... especially bad ones. And yeah... bad parents are where bad kids come from. I guess I blame the kids themselves too much. lol Still though.... I know a few kids that didn't turn out anything like their parents. Turned out better, that is. |
What I do not understand is, was the parent brought up that way, pushing a pets off the chair or the "trashing" of the school. Probably not, then what happened. If I ever did anything like these I would have suffered the "wrath" of a stepfather with calloused mechanic's hands. |
Your brother should have made him apologize to you. I would have given him one chance and made it clear that his behavior was unacceptable in your home. I would make sure to keep the dog safe and watch the nephew closely to see whether you think he has learned a lesson or not. Just not taking him over there isn't correcting the problem. He may have alot of anger issues or something that needs to be dealt with - not just ignored. |
