[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 227809, member: 84"] Susie I'll tell you, my kids grew up with pets. Several were even during their babyhoods. I teach pet manners to children. Not even babies were allowed to hurt an animal. There is no pulling, squeezing, yanking, ect allowed. I don't care what the age. If the child is too young to understand, remove the child or put the pet in a protected area away from the child. At 2 a child can learn empathy, and in my home are punished for such things. My kids got it. Travis had a weird thing with cats when he was little. Nichole had a kitten given to her. Next thing I know Travis is locking the little guy up in anything that closes all over the house. Never hurt him. Just kept locking him up. Kitten got a great new home. He'd never done it with any other animal. Aubrey is 2 and wouldn't think to pull a tail or do anything to hurt the many pets in this house or her Dad's house......or anywhere. I was worried over Darriin for a bit as sister in law is too rough with dogs. It carried over to Darrin over here. Broke his heart to find he'd sit in time out over and over if necessary until he stopped being too rough. I don't have anymore issues with him and the dogs love him. easy child also had a heart to heart with sister in law over it. She was furious. I agree with Star. Something is going to have to be done or this child will be seriously injured, and you're right, it won't be the dogs fault. [/QUOTE]
