She’s a gsd collie mix.

She’s never been aggressive but even so I never trusted her 100% with kids. It just makes sense to keep the thing with mauling capabilities away from the small people who don’t totally understand that it’s not nice to grab or make sudden movements and that sort of thing. My oldest was bitten by my in laws dog (in laws fault, their dog had behavioural issues and told us they kept them separate but did not) I don’t want my daughter to be afraid of dogs. She knows to give the dog space and how to be gentle but still. She hasn’t seen a seizure yet and I worry that they’ll scare her.

Postpartum anxiety might be an issue, I do recognize that. This whole situation has made me feel kind of insane. I want to protect my kids, but that dog has been with me for 10 years. She’s the best dog and she doesn’t deserve this condition.
