We got the cutest puppy about 3 months ago. He has been fun, yet a BIG chore. The girls LOVE him so much. Only problem, he is a puppy and puppies like to play....unfortunately, he REALLY likes to play. He nips the girls a little too hard and in fact full on attacked Madi the other night. Its not that he was trying to hurt her, just wanted to play, and she didn't know how to make him stop. We were all in the other room and all the sudden heard her SCREAMING. When we went in to her, Toby had not broken skin, but she has teeth imprints all over her arms, scratches on her neck and cheek. As I loved on Madi, she whispered to me, "Can we please get rid of him" Well, thats all a mom needs to hear. As much as we love the puppy, we love our kids much more. So today, Toby is going to a new home. We have had alot of tears last night and I am sure there are more to come. I think I am having the hardest time since I spend the most time with him. Needless to say, we will wait to get another dog until the girls are more grown up.
It's so hard. I would do the same thing. I have the most mellow dog ever, he's a lab. Good Luck! I hope she feels better soon. You did the right thing
