I pity the OP's daughter. I'd sue the owners of that dog for everything they own. It's because of this type of irresponsible behavior from owners of dogs that I had a phobia of them growing up. I got bitten quite a few times and I developed an insane fear of dogs that took me years to get over.
September 21, 2009 at 2:14:00 AM EDTIf you have guests over, and you have an animal that can possibly attack your guests, put it in another room, outside, whatever. I can't possibly justify a dog attacking my kid, making me have to take my child to the ER, and say "Oh shit well it's a dog!".
On the other hand, why would anyone let a 1 year old run around free in someone else's house? There's a lot that could've gone wrong besides a dog bite...
The whole thread was filled with stupidity. I don't even know where to begin.
September 21, 2009 at 7:08:00 AM EDTWow! What a bunch of BITCHES in this thread.
September 21, 2009 at 8:44:00 AM EDTI hope these animal loving, baby hating chicks get bitten soon!!!
My heart goes out to the OP and her daughter.
I also can't beleive the thread stayed open so long.
I was scratched & bitten by a German Shepherd when I was young and even though I developed a fear of big dogs, I also learned that there are things one needs to be careful about around animals.
September 21, 2009 at 9:31:00 AM EDTWe were running around and yelling and wrestling and the dog got overexcited and/or protective and jumped on me from behind. We'd been having so much fun we forgot he was there until he tackled me.
Taught me a valuable lesson - that animals can't be expected to understand everything that is happening and they might read the wrong signals if you're not aware of that.
I feel bad for the OP's daughter because now thanks to her mom, she'll very likely develop an irrational fear of dogs.
That thread was nuts. I feel so bad for the OP's lhasa apso, which started out as an indoor dog and got put outside when the OPs precious, perfect baby was born.
September 21, 2009 at 10:05:00 AM EDTIf I knew where that OP lived, I'd report her to the humane society for treating her dog that way. A lhasa apso isn't an outdoor dog; they need to be around people.
Crazies on both sides but the prize goes to the OP for deciding to rant in a public forum. She was looking for a fight and she got one or two. Find a more appropriate outlet, OP.
September 21, 2009 at 12:28:00 PM EDTThis was the most retarded thread I have read as of yet. Seriously? If your kid got a hand ripped up from a dog, then you should feel alarmed and bitchy at every dog on the planet.
September 21, 2009 at 1:36:00 PM EDTI think people who put animals on the same priority as people are just nuts. They aren't the same. Babies trump dogs. I don't understand how someone can feel like dogs are more important or equally important as a baby.
It's just nonsense.
"Wow! What a bunch of BITCHES in this thread.

Haha. Yes, the woman who banished her dog to the outdoors the moment she got pregnant and talks about how she could sue her husband's boss for having a dog in his own home is obviously the kind and rational one in that thread.
But damn those baby-hating chicks!
I admit I didn't read the whole thread - maybe only the first 5 or 6 pages - but the only bitch I saw was the OP. She should give her dog away to someone who can give it a loving home; what she's doing is cruel.
September 22, 2009 at 12:50:00 AM EDTI have 2 kids and I don't even like dogs, but the whole "it's just a DOG" thing is bullshit. If anyone came over and treated my cats that way I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. Not that my kids and cats are equals; but if there was a problem I'd find my cats loving homes - not just toss them outside.
I have enough love in my heart for all the creatures in my house. And sometimes - yes - I like my cats MUCH more than my kids! LOL!
Extremes on both sides here.
September 22, 2009 at 12:19:00 PM EDTMy son was bit in the face by my inlaws dog when he was 2. He had to the ER and get 10 stitches. He still has a scar, and always will.
This has made my very, very wary having dogs around my kids. And I put my dog away when kids come in too. She's never bitten anyone, but if she did then she would be put down immediately.
When I go to anyone's house that has a dog that even so much as looks at my kids in a weird way then I make my kids stand right next to me, and tell the dog to go away. I don't care how many times the owners say their precious honey bunny has never bitten. Get your dog away from me and my kids. If you don't like it, then we'll leave. I get some looks sometimes, but I just say that my son has been bitten before by a so-called "friendly" dog. Most polite people will put their dogs away. My kids trump your dog when I'm there..
However, I do not agree that you ship a dog outside just because you have a kid! That's a little extreme.
Just the other week we were at open house party and the couple had their bulldog out. Lots of kids around. My youngest son was playing with a ball on the floor, and the dog came over and literally knocked him over and started dry humping him! It sounds crazy, but the dang dog is huge and I literally had to pull with all my strength to get him off of him. I just got him calmed down, and the effing dog did it again.
September 22, 2009 at 12:25:00 PM EDTMy kid was terrified! And he was being molested! I swear that dog was getting his groove on BAD. They didn't put their dog up, so I left with him. My son..not the horny dog.
So, I don't think it's the OP's fault if her daughter fears dogs. The owner of the dog should have put their dog away. He was an old dog, and he should have never been trusted around that many kids.
"And I put my dog away when kids come in too. She's never bitten anyone, but if she did then she would be put down immediately."
September 22, 2009 at 3:19:00 PM EDTOh, this I absolutely agree with. I try and keep my dogs away from children as much as possible, even out at parks and things. Kids can be so unpredictable in their movements, and like you said, if my dog gets freaked out and bites, he'll be the one paying the price.
It's amazing, though--one of mine is a small dog without front legs, and she gets a little aggressive with strangers. So when kids come over to her, I always, always say "No, sweetie, she's not very nice...she might bite you" and I'll tell the parents that she's not a friendly dog, yet I still have to physically retreat. So many parents just let their kids go on sticking their hands in her face. I don't get it.
That's my long-winded way of saying it's the dog-owner's responsibility to keep their dog away from risk as much as it is the parents'.
I've had to yank my youngest son out of reach of "friendly family dogs" several times back when he was very small. When they are babies or toddlers they are the size of prey, plus they move in unpredictable ways which can annoy dogs.
September 22, 2009 at 6:26:00 PM EDTThese incidents have always been when my son has been right by my side, not "running around all over the place" or pulling the dogs' ears or even acknowledging the dog.
I'll also sign my name to Laura's first post, since she covered everything I'd been thinking.
I just find it interesting that in her OP, the dog "took a chunk out of her perfect hand" but a few pages later it was just a puncture wound.
September 30, 2009 at 10:58:00 PM EDTNot saying that a puncture wound is nothing, but it's certainly different than a dog taking a CHUNK out of a hand.
