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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Sounds like you're better off without that demon-spawn.

That logic would more than work if the child was 3 and not 9. At 9 you know to keep your hands to yourself. By 9 you're in school where hitting/kicking have consequences. By 9 abusing animals is an indicator of larger psychological problems.

She doesn't hate the dog, she hates you. Don't kill the dog. love it more than anything, just like that dog has loved you.

I would not want people mean to animals around me--related or not!

Kinda feel like you are both wrong. If you know she was repeatedly kicking your pet you should've put a stop to it. Your daughter is over reacting, but why would you just keep letting her kick your companion until it has to respond defensively?

If she put a stop to it op would likely be charged with child abuse. Based on how her daughter reacted to a scratch.

Your granddaughter deserved it completely for not being nice to your dog. She's lucky that the dog didn't do anything worse; my grandmother's dog knocked me over and bit my face just because I got in his way.

Don't destroy your dog. Destroy your daughter and granddaughter for being monumental morons.

Wait she was kicking the dog and the dog only scratched her? That's an incredibly patient dog. And just people amaze me when they blame the dog for reacting to abuse.

Tell her to tell your granddaughter that dogs aren't stuffed animals and you can't just manhandle them. If someone kicked me repeatedly I'd scratch them too. And family or no, if someone told me they'd rather me put my dog down than they teach their child how to act around animals, I'd tell them to go to hell.

If someone kicked me repeatedly they would wake up in the hospital, but since this is a kid I would have banished both the daughter and granddaughter from my house until they learned to respect me, my dog, and my stuff.

Even though your daughter is unreasonable, you need to find a compromise so you can see your granchildren. Maybe you can suggest to keep the dog in a separate room when your granchildren are over to visit

I wouldn't want to see that brat. If she does that to dogs imagine how she treats op's other belongings.
