yeah, chis are like toddlers, they need a special kind of supervision. Just like I'd allow my 10 y/o daughter to play out back alone or with friends, but wouldn't consider it for a two year old. Not without me also being outside.
Chis are smart, but they are still so small and vulnerable. We had neighborhood kids who used to like opening our back gate and letting our poodle out. I wanted to string them up, but ultimately the dog is our responsibility so we simply put a padlock on the gate. Problem solved. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "dasha48" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am always reminded of a friend of my sister in laws who had a chi. She always left it outside un attended. One day 2 boys decided to torture and chase the chi. They chased it into a pool where it drowned. My first thought was of sadness that kids could be so mean and sadness for the dog's last minutes. then my next thought was anger at the owner for being so careless.

No one else was at home. I don't know how long she was outside, at least an hour or so. He doesn't get why I worry so much because we do let the poodle out unattended for longer periods of time, weather permitting. But even at 9lbs, Tiffany is so small and it makes me and the kids very uneasy. I'll show this story to my hubby. He adores Tiffany, just doesn't think anything bad could happen. Obviously, not true.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but sometimes people just don't think when they should.

Instead he saw all four dead on the lawn. http://www.wtkr.com/Global/story.asp?S=5868490&nav=ZolHbyvj Marvel Saving just one dog won't change the world, but it surely will change the world for that one dog. www.defendingdog.com www.deafdogs.org www.flintriverranchusa.com
