[Repeal The 17th]

Have you ever had dogs?
Or kids?
Or dogs and kids at the same time?

We always had a hell of a time trying to keep our kids from
sitting on the dogs...
laying on the dogs...
riding on the dogs...
picking up the dogs...
dragging the dogs around...
by their ears...
by their legs...
by their tails.
The dogs never complained, they loved playing with the kids.
Went through the same thing with the grandkids and the dogs.

Dogs tend to tolerate a lot of things from their humans

Yep to both. Would never allow my kids to use the dog as a step stool.

I would never allow my kids to treat any animal the way you've just described. I taught my children to treat our pets with kindness and to be gentle. It really wasn't a hard thing to do.
