Today, it's been 3 months since my dog scratched my 9 year old granddaughter after she walked over and repeatedly kicked him. My daughter has disowned me and won't let me see my own grandchildren until I have my companion of 11 years "destroyed". FML

Today, I saw my grandfather kick my dog, who is a 6-pound chihuahua, across the room. When I confronted him about it, he screamed at me for having "too much sex during the apocalypse" and "invading my brain with your pancakes." This man is my legal guardian for 3 more years. FML
Today, it's been weeks since my teenage kids have walked the dog I got them; they also don’t play with it, pay it any attention, or feed it. It’s all been me, so since I never wanted it in the first place, I gave it to a friend of my mom's. My kids now think I’m the devil and my husband says I overreacted. FML
Today, my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter came up to me and asked if she could have my dog. When I said no, she started crying so much that her mom came out 5 minutes later and demanded that I give her daughter the dog. FML
Today, my mom's super spoiled small demon dog attacked my 3 year-old daughter, mauling her leg. Out of instinct, I kicked it away, causing it to fly across the room yelping. I picked up my daughter and took her straight to the hospital, where she got stitches. Later that night, I was greeted with a vet bill. FML
Today, it's been one week since my demented grandma babysat my five-year-old daughter while my husband took me to a fancy restaurant. Now she's taken to screaming and calling me a "damn commie" whenever I discipline or say no to her. FML
Today, I lost my custody battle and I have to return my grandchildren to my disowned daughter, who was allowing her now ex-husband to abuse them. I can't appeal or anything because frankly we don't have the funds. I wish I'd never had her. FML
Today, as punishment for getting caught kissing my precious newborn grandbaby two years ago, my son and his nasty wife have barred me from even meeting my second grandbaby until she's at least two months old. FML
Today, my daughter told me that now that she's a Christian, I can no longer see my grandchildren unless I repent from my "homosexual lifestyle." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML
Today, my grandmother hates me. So much so that I've become a rotten, desperate, and overall evil person with no thoughts and considerations towards other people. My family doesn't know this, but I can never undo the damage she has done to me since birth (as she raised me). I only care about my own well-being, nothing else. FML

Tell her to shut the **** up.

Clearly some adults haven't realized what your granddaughter either has by now or needs to: that there are consequences for actions and that animals are not punching bags.

She obviously needs to learn that her daughter was at fault for being scratched. And remember that it could have been worse. I wouldn't trust that child with a peanut, much less an animal of her own. I've been bitten by an animal. I love animals now too.

She deserved to be bit for kicking the dog.

tolerating this behavior with a child of that age will only lead to further behavioral problems in the granddaughter. It is important to teach children to respect animals, especially because animals are just as capable of causing us harm as we are capable of causing them harm. I would never allow this sort of behavior in any child of mine, pets are part of your family and don't deserve to be treated badly for no reason. good luck with your stubborn daughter, op.

If an animal is being abused or provoked and fight back it shouldn't be punished. It sends the message that people can do whatever they want to an animal and not get in trouble for it but if the animal fights back it's punished or even put down. Of course, sometimes people, especially children don't realize they're doing something to provoke or threaten the animal and that's more complicated. If it's known what someone did to provoke the animal, especially if they're a child then it can be a good teaching experience. Animals often get aggressive as a way to let you know you're hurting them. If my dog whimpers and growls at me, I know that I've been too rough with him and hurt him. Animals can also be playing and hurt someone in the process. My cat scratches me all the time because he likes to playfully attack me. My Pom will nip at me when we are playing and sometimes it hurts. Of course, some animals are just aggressive and violent. My dog was attacked by another dog for no reason. My Pom is aggressive with strangers and we don't know what to do other than keep her away from them so she doesn't attack them.

The kid was 9. Old enough to know better. And personally if that was the demand, I'd tell my daughter she wasn't allowed to bring her brats over or be in the will until her monster child was destroyed.

It may be hard, but if your daughter doesn't want to admit that her daughter is a brat and that she deserved it, I say let her be stupid and never talk to either of them again. That brat should be lucky that the dog only scratched her, because it'd be a completely different story if she had gotten bit. She would've deserved it either way if she thinks she can kick animals and get away with it. Your daughter sounds like an idiot if she doesn't want to accept that what your granddaughter did to your dog was wrong, a 9 year old is definitely old enough know better.
