    That’s the way life should be. Repair the damages…no punishment for Farley, mend things and life goes on. I love Elizabeth’s concerned face as Elly is darning up the bunny.

    Oh, Farley already ripped Lizzie’s stuffed bunny. If I were in Elly’s shoes, I would whack the stuffed bunny at Farley’s head and tell him not to do that. After Elly mends the ear to attach Lizzie’s stuffed bunny together, Lizzie looks so excited to have her favorite bunny back. Yahhh!

    LOLs! You are so funny to say that!

    Me, too. I felt very enjoyable to read the Sunday morning. :-]

    I’d hate to live in Wild’s house. You get whacked in the head for doing anything wrong. Violence isn’t the answer. Not teasing the dog with the bunny is what Elly should be teaching Lizzy. Not whacking the dog upside the head.

    I half agree with wildmustang-A whack with a stuffed toy won’t hurt, and will help train the dog. As much as I love dogs, I hate people who refuse to train them.

    No don’t thwack Farley on the nose for hurting the rabbit. Try wagging a finger at him and saying, “No, no don’t do that!” I wonder if it would work.

    These memories are why we wish we could as easily make our parents’ boo-boos all better they go into old age…..

    Sometimes Elly is not so mild mannered. But today everybody is sweet and loving. Mike comes to Liz’s aid, Mom takes care of things and both children are showing appreciation. Farley is just being a normal dog.

    OK, Isn’t Elly on Vacation at her parents?

    And i agree, Elizabeth was showing it to farley and as far as Farley was concerned she was giving it to him for a chew toy.

    A lesson learned by both. Maybe.

    Everyone knows that most comics don’t follow the current topic on Sundays.

    Whack at Faley at once and give him a lesson not to destroy Lizzie’s stuffed rabbit. So Keep training Farley not to destroy something that we love very much. I would do that if I have my own dog. but sorry guys I am allergic to dogs but I am not regretting about that.

    A dog “disciplined” like that would not understand just why he’s being whacked. For giving the toy up? For allowing mom to catch him? For playing with a toy that was obviously (from his point of view) offered to him?

    Plus, there are complications that can easily come out of physical attempts to discipline. Dogs are faster than we are, and could easily learn to run away from a violent owner, or even begin to react violently in turn. Then you’ve got a biting dog in a household of children.

    Not to mention that a child seeing that kind of example easily thinks it’s his or her right to also hand down “justice” by hitting the dog.

    Dogs are pack animals and much easier to train by positive methods. Teach the dog to DROP something on command. That by itself can save a dog’s life. Teach the child the dog’s point of view… he thought you offered him a toy and that’s how he’ll play with it.

    Dogs are naturally prone to want to please the pack leader. So be a good pack leader and you and your dog will get along just fine.

    Solitha, Bravo! Fortunately it has gone out of ‘fashion’ to discipline kids with violence, hopefully people will soon realize that you shouldn’t treat animals with violence either, there are better ways.
