The black eye story reminds me of DD a few weeks ago. She has her 'big boys' to play with (two golden retrievers named Barley and Hops) and was laying on one cuddling when the other came over to get in the middle of it causing the one she was laying on (Hops) to jump up and come down with his paw right on her eye causing a scratch which of course upset her and she started to cry. But when she calmed down which was less than a minute she made sure to inform me: "Mommy, it wasn't Hops fault. It was just an accident and really it was Barley that started all of it, but I'm not mad at him either." She shows so much empathy and was so concerned that her boys were going to get into trouble. The only one that got into trouble was ME by DH who had a fit and made me take the boys in to get their nails clipped.
