Cecelia is in that "squishy" faise and likes try and bear hug the animals. Right now we have 2 fairly large dogs, so she can't hurt them trying to "hug" them, but I'd be worried if I had a small dog. As much as we tell her to leave them alone, pet nicely, or stop pulling their tails, she just flat out ignores us. I really dont know what it is. She's my step daughter so maybe its the different home enviroments... I know that Celia's grandparents (on her biological moms side) has 2 chihuahua's but I'm not sure how she is with them. From what I heard those poor things hide under the couch when she's around. Its just mind boggling because she's been raised around animals and sees us treating the animals like gold and is reminded SEVERAL times a day to be nice to them. I'd be so worried that Celia could hurt a small dog... She's very sneaky about everything. This is one of the main reasons why I can't have another cat (our last one had to be put to sleep from an illness) because life just isn't the same without a ragdoll. I just really hope she gets out of this faise soon.
