I know how your feeling. The 2 parties we had here this summer the kids let the dog out after most people left, but some were still there plus the little boys. The dog ended up snapping at a grown nephew on mine & all he did was continue petting him but he moved to fast that it scared him. I told dd to put him away now. She said mom, really?? I said yes as one of the boys headed over by him. Scared me & I Holla red at her in front of people, but they live at our house so my rules. Win. Pizzed her off big time because they are adults, but I had to put down an older dog because it bit my great nephew when he was 2.
