My poor baby! My sister came over, along with a friend of hers and his two children, ages 3 and 9. I don't particularly like this friend, but it is not my house.
When they got there, I specifically asked if I needed to crate the dogs and was told no, the kids are used to them. I should add that both dogs are reasonablly well behaved, and were not rushing or jumping on the company.
Both kids instantly wanted to play with the dogs, so I took them in the other room and supervised. The three year old sat down with Radar and was "sharing" her barbie and petting him, which he was loving.
The 9 year old gets a ball and starts trying to play with Lilly. I told him that she was 11 years old and didn't really want to play with toys anymore. So he puts down his hand for her to come close and be petted. She does, and the littly demon spawn KICKS HER as soon as she is in range :yikes: . She was screaming and ran back to me. I demanded to know why he had done that and he tells me "She wouldn't play with me so she is stupid!" I grabbed the kid with one hand and Lilly with the other and marched him in to the other room so I could tell his father what he had done. Dads response?
"Son, what have I told you about kicking animals? Thats it, you are not getting that puppy!"
No word about apologizing, or that he could have seriously hurt Lilly. And if he knew his chid was violent with animals, why didn't he have me crate mine? That child is going to kick the wrong dog and end up with half his face torn off. My mother, bless her, asked them to leave immeadiatly. This is good considering I was going to kill the little monster.
As a side note, they have already had to give two dogs to the pound because they were aggressive toward the children. I wonder why
I was so shocked that he kicked my dog right in front of me, while his much younger sister was perfectly well behaved. Lilly is fine, just a little startled as she has obviously never been kicked before. I figure I'll be hearing about this kid down the road when he turns into the next Jeffrey Dahmer.
