| MOLLY Molly is a purebred female Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Her DOB is 7/03 Molly is a owner turn-in. Some info from them: Up until recently, we have had no issues with Molly's behavior (aside from the typical "wheaten greetin'" - overly jumpy when visitors come over). Our second child was born in June 2011, and Molly seems to have had some difficulty adjusting, especially as our older son turned 2. She has nipped our older son twice in recent months. The first incident took place in the morning, as my son wandered over to her pet bed while she was resting, and began bothering her. She reacted and nipped at his hand. The second incident occurred when my son put his hand in Molly's food bowl while she was eating. (This is a huge no-no, I know, but was one of those things that happened very quickly before I could realize). My back was turned and I did not see the incident, but I heard Molly's reaction, followed by my son running and crying to me. His hand had a small tooth mark on it. The wound was not serious, but he was very shaken by it. There was a third I will call almost-incident, where Molly growled and seemed to move toward my son in a repeat of the last two incidents. Again, my son was pestering her. This time, I was able to step in. For us, the third incident - despite no biting - led us to have a difficult discussion. We love Molly very much, as does our boys - but we simply can't take the chance of her biting one of our children. Our oldest son has been diagnosed as having some sensory issues, and we have been working on his behavior with an early intervention specialist. Our youngest is just beginning to crawl, and is wondering up to Molly's face constantly, doing the goofy things babies will do. I can't risk the possibility of either of my children getting hurt. Molly has had to deal with many changes that no doubt have been difficult on her. With 2 young children in the home, she no longer gets the attention, affection, and care she was used to. Daily walks, for example, have been traded for being let out in the backyard. Being completely honest, she does not get the proper exercise she needs. And now, she has two rambunctious little ones poking and prodding her while she tries to do simple things like rest and eat her food. Due to her issues with children we will not place Molly in a home with children under 14 years of age. Molly is spayed and up to date on shots. |
