I am saying that if you are responsible enough to have a child, you would certainly teach him/her about the tiny baby.
BUT apparently this was a normal thing to play in the hose. Can you honestly say you would let your son at 3, point a hose towards your pup without constantly watching, knowing your son is just a baby himself?
My heart goes out to Diamond....

You make it sound like they are made of glass or something. My Gus is only 2.8 lbs full grown and he loves loves rough play. We all play hit him all the time,,, a lite tap on his side and say chulo. Or we will tug on hair hair to get him going. You do have to be much more careful with these little guys and of course you can not play as rough as you would with a big dog. But come on. Gus was attacked by 75 German Shepherd and survived!!!! And is perfactly fine now. I know we were very very luckly,, I am so pertective of my Gus and it all happened so fast. Nothing really that we could have done to prevent it. Accidents happen.

I agree! Brutus is one tough little dude and wants to play hard all the time! I have young kids and they are prefectly fine together. I know some kids can be rough but mine knew from day one not to man handle the dog or hurt him. Kids and Yorkies can get along just fine!

swtnutns · 07-26-2005, 08:28 AM

diamond(yorkie) is very hyper she llike to get wet while the hose is filling the at this time my son is holding the hose and playing with diamond. She like to get in front of the hose with her mouth open while barking the day before I notice her soak and wet and shakeing

This is what I went by when I said what I have said. I am in no way pointing fingers. I may have been wrong to go just by what your husband wrote. If so , my apologies.
We lost Precious at 6 1/2 and WE are the fault of that, and we take the responsibility and grief and horrible guilt every day. If you read this, you will see what I mean.http://www.rainbowsbridge.com/reside...3/Resident.htm
Again sorry for your loss...It is a horiible thing to go through. You might find some peace at www.rainbowbridge.com

My family's condolences goes out to your family. We are truly very sorry.

vainchick5 · 07-26-2005, 01:18 PM

I'm sorry for your loss. True many accidents can be prevented, but sometimes it is just THEIR time to go. Whether 1 day old or 10 years old. I'm sorry for your family and hope that you will get through this together.

cosmoismyman · 07-26-2005, 01:35 PM

I am so sorry for your loss ..I am glad you posted the story because now it got me thinking how dangerous water could be for the lil ones- my yorkie loves to swim in the pool, and float. Now I am not going to allow it, until I read more about the subject! Thanks!

I certainly hope you will think before you get another small baby like a yorkie as a playmate to your 3 to 6 or 8 year old son

ok i will take a deeep breath befor i write so i wont say anything to harsh. i dont know if rex would be able to live WITHOUT roughhousing. my little sister is 4 years old and treats rex like a glass baby, but the rest of my family roughhouse with him lke crazy. if there is no roughhousing for like an hour he will get bored and bark n dance until someone DOES roughhouse with him. he is grieving, man! have a heart!

shheeesh

chattiesmom · 07-26-2005, 02:05 PM

My furbabies like to roughhouse too. Understanding that the word "rough" is relative, what is rough to my 2 lb. 12 oz little boy is different from my 7 lb. girl, and not even in the same ball park as playing gently with our 60 lb. Boxer. It is all relative......

Rex'z momma · 07-26-2005, 02:14 PM

well besides the point when i said rex loves to roughhouse he IS

9 lbs

My apologies to jmaxc1999 if my post came off as sounding rude and uncaring. We recently had a poster come on with an outlandish story about how her dog had been injured and her parents would not take it to the vet so the poor dog suffered without medical care. It was assumed by many that it was a fabricated story. There are people (I'm one of them) whom do not feel that small children and toy dogs are compatible because of the potential for the small dogs being injured at the hands of children. Reading your words about your young child playfully hitting your yorkie did concern and upset me. Putting it all together I did wonder if the entire post had been done with the intentions of getting people upset. I do see that it wasn't fabricated and is genuine and you have suffered a heartbreaking tragedy. I'm very sorry at the loss of your beloved yorkie. As mentioned by Chlois, may you find comfort at the bridge.

Thanks For The Apology I Would Never Harmed Diamond She Was My Best Friend That'a Why I Named Her Diamond She Slept With Us Every Night For 5 Years She Was A Spoiled Brat I To Feed Her Human Food Mostly Chicken But Then I Cut Down To Once A Week She Was Fiesty And High Strung. It Did Hurt Tuesday Morning Before Trying To Go To Work F0r The First Time Since Her Death Peo[le Calling Me Careless And Acting Like She Didn't Matter To Me I Would Give Up 10 Years Offf My Life If I Could Have Her Back Right Now.

A Dog For Jesus

I wish someone had given Jesus a dog.
As loyal and loving as mine.
To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
And adore Him for being divine.

As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog,
Would have followed Him all through the day.
While He preached to the crowds and made the
sick well and knelt in the garden to pray.

It is sad to remember that Christ went away.
To face death alone and apart.
With no tender dog following close behind,
To comfort its Master's Heart.

And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn,
How happy He would have been,
As His dog kissed His hand and barked it's delight,
For The One who died for all men.

Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine,
The old pal so dear to me.
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone,
Knowing they're in eternity.
Day after day, the whole day through,
Wherever my road inclined,
Four feet said, "Wait, I'm coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.
