How far would you go to protect your baby yorkie?
 

I dont let big dogs come up to chachi or Jewels. You just never know if they are friendly or not

Ditto! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Until it actually happens (heaven forbid) I would do just about anything to protect my babies.

When jazz (my bichon) was just a baby we were at the vets office & there was a mom and her 2 boys and their hamster. well her 2 boys (ages like 4-6) where running around and terrorizing all the dogs! They went up to a golden and starting running around it and really scaring him! the owner walked away so they went after a cocker spaniel, and then a cat.. well naturally the entire vets office was a lil mad and evrey1 was looking at the mom like "HELLOO!!! CONTROL UR KIDS" but she was on her cellphone completly oblivious to what was going on. well the 2 boys came charging at my puppy who was on my lap.. they where yelling something about a lil white rat, and ran up about to pick him up, so i got up, picked up my dog out of their reach. and told the lady that she better control her kids or I WILL! wlell.. i over reacted a little but jazz was just a tiny baby and was very very sick (we later found out he had distemper :( ) and definetly could not handle being tossed around by 2 little kids. Well the lady got off her cell for 2 seconds and said "hey u 2, go play outside" & the kids went to run around outside and that was the last i saw of them, but the entire clinic looked relieved.

I took all 3 for a walk the other night. I got to the end of the road & thought, What would I do if a big dog came charging? I would do what it takes. I now walk them when hubby is home from work. Having 2 of us to protect 3 little ones is better.

Sorry about Jazz having distemper. Hope he feels better now. Thanks for sharing.

I was taking Teddy for a walk today and he's 8 lbs. There was a pitbull that came the other direction. Even though he seemed like a nice dog and Teddy was jumping up towards him to say hi I didn't let him get near him because you just never know with those big dogs what they will do.

Across the street from our condos, is an apt community that allows big dogs, and it seems every tenant has at least 2 pitbulls or rotties. I am always scared when taking them for a walk. My friend will say i am silly if they see me picking up my babies if they are approaching us, but u just never know. And Dior and Diesel my 3 month old maltese are so fearless they think its a play date coming towards us.

I'd probably protect my furbaby like I did my real babies. I'm a mother tigress when it comes to my babies. I'll step in and put myself between them, and I'll throw punches if necessary. I don't do this consciously. It just happens when my babies are threatened. It's pure instinct.

Hi, I never let big dogs that I don't know around my babies. However, sometimes things happen when you least expect and I'd get chewed up protecting mine. I look at them like they are my children and I would protect them in the same way.

He died a couple of years ago :( we were prepared for it since we got him from a puppy mill bust.. but it still hurt us deeply. He was a sweetheart all through his short life, but he never really got to be a real puppy, he was always in pain & tired.

I already have done whatever it takes to save my boy Boog...and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I believe in acting now and thinking later because sometimes if you think too long it's too late or you might talk yourself out of acting.

I am so, so sorry. I had no ideea. Please forgive me...Silly me!Oh, I am so terribly sorry.
