I can handle a little boy that flushes a puppy down a toilet (water, swish, dirt go bye bye) a whole lot better than the stupid grown woman in the '70s who allegedly put her poodle in the microwave to dry him after a bath.
If that actually happened.
Really, though, it's a miracle the puppy is OK. And about parental supervision - you can do everything you can do, but once they learn to crawl/walk, something is going to happen. It's those moments when you suddenly realize that you don't hear them, or if they are being quiet, they are up to something. ShallowsSquirt had two separate instances where he climbed to get stuff by moving furniture and the little Rubbermaid boxes we used for his Legos and blocks. One time it was because he wanted a pull-up diaper, which I had put in the top of his closet, instead of going potty
and then there was the day when I went to the bathroom, came out and found him on top of the refrigerator. Fortunately for most kids, it's something like that you can look back and laugh at. And, the puppy is funny - since it's okay. (Bet that dog won't drink from the toilet later in life
)
