I asked my mother in law to not let her dog get close to my baby and she's freaking out at me like i hate her and her dog. :chillpill:

What they heck!!!?? :irked: What is with these people??? :irked: I DONT TRUST YOUR DOG!!!!
I dont trust ANY animal around my infant.
Cats, horses, lemurs, hippopotomuses, and DOGS.


Why do people get soo freaking defensive about their stupid dogs.
Its not like i'm telling her to get rid of it or put it to sleep. :screwy:

I just dont want her putting my baby's face right up to the dog so she can sniff him. They think its SO cute, but all i can picture is a dog taking a snap at my baby's face.
It only takes one second. One second that no one could have seen coming and my baby is permenently injured or worse.


"oooh, but she's the perfect dog, she would never hurt a fly...ohhhhh blah blah blah blah BLAAAAHHHH!" :barf:

I dont care!!! I dont let my own cats near my baby. And IF they come near him, i've got my arm right there in between them. If they so much as put their ears back, i'll rip their scrawny little heads off.

So why is it that I get blamed for hating her dog when i dont want it near my baby???



I needed to rant. Anyone else here no what i'm talking about?
 
its cool to be protective, but your not always gonna be there with the baby and the dog..Let the dog smell the baby..My wife is due in 3 weeks and we have 2 dogs and i will not hesitate to let me dogs around my son...Everybody is different with that stuff..your just being a dad and that is totally understandable ....Just let the dog smell the baby while you there..baby steps, 1 step at a time....BREATH..it will be OK
 
I agree with you,.......... I don't want any animal that sniffs its own or others privates licking my baby's face.

but there are a lot of dog/cat owners out there. they treat they're pet like a family member. which is cool, got no problem with that,............. just keep it away from my baby

my dogs are in our family x-mas Pics..They are my kids aS WELL....
 
well i could get on a whole discussion on how i think its rediculous to treat animals like humans. to each his own. i dont really care what you do with your dog as long as it doesnt affect me or my family.

but i digress. i dont trust dogs. especially other people's dogs. i dont want it up in my baby's face. if she has a problem with that, then i have a problem with her.
 
may I ask, how old is your son??

I let my nephew play with my dogs as soon as he started walking, nothing ever went wrong... I was actually surprised at how gentle my dogs are when playing with him even though they've injured me a few times while playing!! just make sure you aren't too protective lol
 
i think everyone should respect other's preference. if i know my buddy hates animals and don't want them around their kids, i shouldn't bring my animals over when visiting. and, if i know someone has pets, and hate them around my kids, well, dont' bring your kids over. if i don't want animals around my kids, you should respect that and vice versa.

that's all
 
i seen shows and on the news where dogs bit off pieces of kids faces and i just wouldn't have dogs around my kids but that's just me,.............. i know there are pet owners who have pets around their kids all the time for years without any problems

yes! thank you


BTW he's 8 months old and doesn crawl yet. And like i said before, this isnt MY dog. Its my mother-in-law's dog.
I dont control this dog, i dont train this dog, i dont TRUST this dog.

If it WERE my dog, i would still be protective, but i would be more likely to let them bond since it would be his dog too.
But this is different.

She WANTs to watch him at HER house. So if she asks for him to come over, then she needs to respect MY wishes. Its not like i'm saying, "here, take him for a few hours and by the way, lock your dog outside".
