The supposedly "adorable sweet" 4 year old boy we recently fostered was observed by us and our neighbors twice kicking our gentle cat and stomped our Golden Retreiver's front leg bone.

I can completely believe the doctor...Ugh is right. I can completely believe the doctor thought he was helping you by informing you of this. Poor Gracie...she sounds like a sweet, very sensitive dog to be affected so deeply by Sissy's behaviors. Our two (very elderly) cats died a year ago and we will not be getting any new kittens until a few ragers are out of here. Our precious dog, a rottweiler (whose butt-wagging knocked over many a preschooler around here lol) was so in tune with some of my children that she was another set of eyes around here. She was killed by a truck several years ago and while we'd love to get another dog, with the hope of a relationship similar to the one we had with her, we just can't chance it with violent, hyper kids. I know pet therapy is great for traumatized kids, but I don't think it's right for mine. My kids stressed our cats out so badly, they would hide in my room until the kids went to bed at night!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347324365882583578.post-47680397805881036562011-01-16T11:05:50.135-08:002011-01-16T11:05:50.135-08:00Kids and animals are supposed to be a good mix, bu...Kids and animals are supposed to be a good mix, but with traumatized kids it's often not the case.FosterAbbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431773317761777407noreply@blogger.com
