Er…does puppy's hold grudges if you accidentally kick them when walking in the dark?

It was around 1AM after midnight and i was thirsty, so i decided to get a soda in the fridge and when i reached the living room to get there i hit something soft with my foot and heard a yelp, so i cautiously traced my steps back to turn on a nightlight to see my 4 month old chihuahua (that sleeps in the kitchen) whimpering. He obviously heard me coming and since its a small breed and most of my house floor is layered with carpets, i wouldn’t hear or see him wake up to greet me (i took off his tinkling leash/dog tag for a bath the day before)

I bent down to try comforting him and but he ran back to his unlocked playpen and now i feel bad lolXD

  • No.

    Showing the dog nothing was meant by it with a quick rub on area hit or petting it, would tell the dog that all was well and nothing, no reason for concern, it would be quickly forgotten with the puppy carrying on as normal.

    Accidents happen and the pup will not sit there and fret about what happened.

  • They don’t usually hold grudges, no, but he probably will be scared of you for a bit, thinking you’ll hurt him again. Just be really nice to him for the next few days until he’s comfortable about approaching you again, and you’ll be fine. Remember, everything you have is a gift, including animals. Just keep telling him he’s a good boy, pet him gently, give him treats and apologize to him until he comes to you eventually. And be careful the next time you’re thirsty in the middle of the night

  • Not likely that he will hold a grudge. I have accidentally done this to mine when got right behind me. Be sure to comfort him, tell him he is a good dog and check to make sure his paws are ok. It is very easy to break a bone since they are so small. Also be sure to put the collar back on so that you can hear him

    It’s nice how caring you are and how deeply you think about these things. I’m the same way. That’s why this is funny coz I’m not the only one. But yeah, dogs don’t hold grudges. They’re nice.

  • No, it’s fine! It happens to me sometimes, my dog lies under my desk and I move my foot and it hits her because I forgot she was there 😮 She doesn’t hold a grudge against me and will still lie there all the time, so don’t worry 🙂

  • No…dogs do not hold grudges over isolated incidences but he may be wary of your feet for a while as they do not forget frights very easily. Just act normal and he will eventually get over it.

  • No, your dog wont hold a grudge against you. I have accidentally stepped on my dogs paws before. He will forget all about it within minutes.

  • No, he’ll love you regardless.

    It’s cute how much you care.

    Do I have an over crowded tank?

    Answers Favorite AnswerDepends on the dimensions and the filter. I'd say it's right at the limit and certainly no more room for more fish. However, if you get a water testing kit and check the nitrate you'd know for sure.I would cut down the zebra danios to or so and get rid of the pleco. The Pleco may seem fine but they grow large. Instead of a Pleco add some Cory catfish, they would make a nice addition to your tank and are also a great clean up crew. Oh yeah and if you think "well I've had my pleco for a few years and it hasnt grown to fast, I'll just keep it" don't. That's just it's growth being stunted. I had a common Pleco in a gallon at one time for about years, he didn't grow much until I realeased him into my gallon pond. After just months he had grown more then ever before. My point is keep the zebra danios and not the pleco as harsh as it sounds.i hoped this helped and good luck!Source(s): Personal expirenceThe Pleco will need to be in a bigger tank probably within a year.

    is the russian dwarf hamster and campbell hamsters are the same?

    Answers Favorite AnswerThanks Cloud Nine I consider myself to know a lot about Hamster and even I have had a lot of trouble knowing for sure what species and breeds are which. Syrians are easy! But In the Dwarf family it goes like this.Russian,Chinese,Robo as being the main three I think people know are being different. But you also see these names from most to least common.Winter WhiteCampbellDjungarianSiberianProbably others as well... And I know that some of these are the exact same type of hamsters or very close hybrids etc. But your answer Cloud Nine cleared some things up however it's still a difficult thing to remember correctly. I personally have only had the campbell dwarfs I guess. And yes they can be aggressive etc. But it all depends on there personality. If your really luck, know what your doing and have a good cage setup most of the problems with caging them together or handling them can be prevented or reduced. Sometimes they are very friendly and it's kind of scary!Source(s): Owned Syrian Hamsters + Russian Dwarf HamstersThat's a tricky question to answer. There is the Russian Winter White dwarf hamster and then there is the Russian Campbell dwarf Read more

    WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST DOG YOU CAN GET?

    hi, I hope you can all help me!! I am trying to persuade my mum and dad to get me a pet i think if a dog was cheaper they would get me another one!! thanks xxThere are always free to good home ads in the papers. Adopting from shelters are usually fairly cheap.The problem is not the intial cost. Dogs are expensive, regardless of breed. Food, grooming, vet visits, neutering, shots, tags, toys, leashes, dog bed, collars, training, are a few of those expenses. Then if the dog gets sick, more money.The cheapest dog would be a dog you rescued from somebody who can no longer care for their dog. On craigslist, there are tons of people who have to find new homes for their dogs because they're losing their home. Many are offering their pets as free to a good home. There are some wonderful dogs out there that don't deserve to be put down.I'm guessing your parents realize the responsibility of owning a dog which means shots, grooming, walking, training, boarding at times, flea prevention products, heartworm prevention, healthcare. Maybe you could ask them in what ways you could help with the dog that would make them Read more

    Well, i bought a tangerine leopard gecko on the 8th of january 2013 to go with my male normal leopard gecko. He eats perfectly fine but everytime i feed her, she never eats anything? she might be eating mealworms in the night but im not so sure. Also, her poo is a little runny if you know what i mean?Update:please reply, i just really dont want her to be sick1 Answer? Favorite AnswerLike us geckos can get tummy bugs! Don't worry females often stop eating before they lay eggs. This may be the case if the two have been doing things don't worry but this may be a poosibility. Try feeding her a waxworm as they are addictive and geckos favourite food, don't however feed her many as this makes it worse, give he one or two if she eats them, this can be enough to bring her back onto her food. If she is on sand it may be impaction, this is unlikely if she was on sand before. (They eat carefully on sand because of this, she may not be used to it) if this doesn't work or settle take her to a vet, sometimes Geckos do this Read more
