I am just thankful that the child did throw the toy at Zaris visual side...if he had thrown it at her non visual side she would not have ducked..it could have given her a concussion ( or worse ) as it was quite a hard toy... Zari often hits the left side of her face on table legs etc d/t not being able to see them so it is always a worry for us...
You know. Things like this also make me think about children you see poking, jerking, pulling, etc on a dog. Then the parents freak out when the dog bites. I hear and read it all the time. This might sound wrong to some, but if you don't teach your child to be gentle, then don't complain when the child gets bitten. I know there are cases when a dog bites when it isn't provoked, but just as many incidents when they are. It drives me nuts hearing, "well it's just a dog! I'm not going to have my child bitten even if he/she is provoking the dog." I wonder if the adult realizes just how ignorant that sounds? Dogs have feelings. Teach the child manners for Christ sake! Thank God my kids and Grandson !know better. My kids would have freaked out seeing a child throwing a toy at Zari. Knowing my kids, they would have said something for you. And probably cried seeing lil Zari treated that way.
Amen to that!! I hate having kids around my dogs. For example my fiance dads girlfriend has a 6 year old and she has a 6 month old shi tzu mix and she throws him and punches him. Its horrible.and you can't say anything to the brat because that's mommy will get mad.

Oh dear, I'm afraid my reflex action would've been a swift, sharp swat on the butt of that rotten little tyke.
'Tis the only time I've ever laid a hand on my kids, is when they've been mean to another child or animal. It sure paid off because once they're old enough to go to friends houses etc. it's always rewarding to get so many compliments about their politeness, amazing manners and maturity AND sensibilities around their various animals.
