I don't mean this unkindly but you should never ever leave your dogs/dog out with small children unless you are right there with them watching all the time. If a child did something to hurt your dog and he bit the child you could lose your dog and be sued large sums of $$$. While I think it is sad the other mother blew you off the bottom line is you and your dog will lose and you need to protect him/her from children. The best method is to sit on the floor with the children and the dogs so you can supervise. |
I am sorry to about what happened to you, but do agree, you should have put your baby in a safe place during the party. Children often see little dogs as toys. They think they can play with them and pick them up. I have a large gate that confines my babies to the family room when I have company. |
I agree with the two previous posters,:rolleyes: but I would have hauled the kid out by the ear too!! lol :rolleyes::D |

Remember, if he had bitten in fear or self defense, legally it would have been considered his fault and it would have to be reported. Dogs who bite face euthanasia. You could also end up with a lawsuit. |
The little boy grabbed your furbaby by the legs ...so you grab the little boy by the ear? I think you were wrong on how you handled the situation....I would have made sure my dog was ok and promptly secured then explain to the boy how important it is to handle these little dogs with care and mention to his mother what you found him doing. |

he knows better!!!!!!!! my furbaby was in his crate in my room the boy and his mom been in my house before and he knows better than to grave my dog that way because his mom has a yorkie and we do play date with our yorkies .he took my dog out of his crate to scare the other children that was in my house.and a 5 year old should know better because my son just turn 4 years old and he loves our furbaby. |
Well, it sounds like you did your job as a good furbaby parent, you had him away. Your friend should have been watching her son better, I think. Its not your job to babysit other people's kids, you were probably busy running the party. However, grabbing him by the ear may have been a little harsh... I am sorry this happened and I hope you and your friend can work this out. |
I agree with everyone else on keeping an eye on your pup, you wouldn't want to lose him if he bit in self defense! But also.. You should not grab someone else's small child by the ear. That's as cruel as what he did to your dog, and he's just a little boy. I can't understand why you're surprised his mother doesn't want to see you. So my advice in the future would be: Hide your darling if small children are over :D And never grab small children like that. I really hope things work out with your friend and this story has a happy ending. :) |
I can say I agree with what you done, because the same happened at my wedding on Dec. 5. We were married in our house had dogs in crate in bedroom. Next thing I know in the middle of our vows the dogs came running out. Now my door was shut so these kids went in there and let them out. Needless to say their parents don't watch them that good. Luckily my mom was there and grabbed them up and held them until we were finished. Come to find out they killed their toy poodle by squeezin him and parents want to get another dog:eek:....Thank goodness grandma was there and saved my furbabies.;)She thinks of them as grand-furbabies and loves them to pieces lol..:D |

As far as how you handled the situation, yes I agree with the other posters that you have to be careful with your furbaby around kids. Law suits of this kind are common. I took Sophie to my husband's uncle's home where they have a Bichon and a young child (4 yrs) and he tried picking up Sophie and was almost rough with her. I politely asked him to put her back down gently and it was ok to pet and to hold but not too rough. He was smart enough to know how to act and did as such. But to see your side of it, if you were close with the boy's mom as it seems you are, disciplining a friend's child is not uncommon, even if that is grabbing them by the ear or spanking them. When I was little, I was in a group of friends where we were always at each other's homes. There was an understanding that if we misbehaved at our friend's home that their parents were welcome to spank us. :eek: And we got spanked and yes, we deserved it. :thumbup: This may not have been the case with you and this other lady, but I just thought I'd post another side of the disciplinary issue.:) |

I can understand you being upset. I would be livid if someone took my dog out of it's crate (in my bedroom) and then was doing that to it's legs. That is awful. However, what would make me even angrier than that, is somebody putting their hands on one of my children to discipline them. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings but...I do understand why your friend no longer wants to speak to you. She is probably just as angry and upset as you are. I would apologize to her and the child if I were you, and then hope that they apologize back. That is if you want to keep her as a friend. |
^^ Perfectly worded :) |
I have a gate that crosses our stairwell, so no one goes upstaires. When we have guests with children, I always keep an eye on them. Some parents can be very careless when it comes to their own children. |
I would have done the same thing. One of my biggest pet peeves in the world is parents who do not discipline their children. I do not have kids yet, but I used to be a full time live in nanny for some very un-disciplined kids and I think it is awful! UGHHHH!!!! What a rude woman to not repremand her child.... and how awful that the child would even behave that way. YUCK YUCK YUCK!!! What a little devil--- you are right! I am glad your baby is ok! I hope he bites that little brat next time he comes around :) |
My above post was totally inappropriate... haha..... but still...... our furbabies are just as important as children :) |

the child is around dogs because his mom has two yorkies.in the post i wrote i said that his mom and i go on play dates with our yorkies.so yes he should know better!!!! |
I still don't agree with your handling of the boy or people who physically discipline other peoples children,perhaps you should have dragged the mother out of your home by her ear for not watching her child :eek: |
I went through this many times. I would always put my dogs in my room or my bathroom that is very big. These two kids that would visit with their parents always wanted to get the dogs. I would say NO and explain that they were too small. These kids were wild little things and the mom was no help! I used to have to LOCK the bathroom with a key and I would always catch them trying to jiggle the doorknob. One day I had my smallest yorkie in a popup tent, it was clipped closed with two safety pins on the zipper. The kid was so frustrated that he flipped the tent over and over. But I NEVER hit or touched those kids. But I slowly stopped those visits for good. I understand how you feel but grabbing another child by the ear is something that most people will not do because it is not their child and I feel the same way.As bad as they were I just kept them seperated and did not enjoy the visit because the whole time I was watching out for my yorkie.

You should have got the dog then informed the mom. You never put your hands on a child especially if they aren't yours. He is five years old and you say he should have known better? I have raised 3 sons and 5 year olds don't have the full understanding of their consequences yet. He should have for sure been punished and corrected , but not by you. If anyone put their hands on my children they would have a big problem , big problem. I ,as a mother, would have my eyes on my child the whole time and for sure would have made him/her apologize and I would be so very apologetic, but you would have had a problem once you put your hands on my son. I don't mean to be rude, but it's just how I feel. :( |
i have a ten year old brother a 7 year old nephew a 4 year old cousin and a 1 year old god son (and many others all the way up to 16) and all of them know how to handle a dog even a small dog when my cousin was about 3 her grandma got a chi and the first thing she did was get it out of the cage but then she held it like a baby and was very gentle with it and this dog was mean a five year old with a dog at home should have acted better and i would have spanked him on his bottem weather the mom would forgive me or not |
I read through again and have to change my opinion now. The mother should have disciplined the kid, but I don't feel like you should have taken it upon yourself to 'grab' him, regardless. If someone had done that to my child, I would likely render them physically incapable of even dialing a phone. |
