| LOL! Isn't that the truth! I love of the knowledge I get from coming here. But I think I've turned into an obsessive worry-wart. Oh well, better safe than sorry! |

| Kinda like being a nurse or doctor and having kids. The more you know, the more there is to be paranoid about

| I have became a worry wart as well but like you said better to safe than sorry, I think it is great to be informed of possible issues. I know with my next dog things will be a lot different because of the knowledge you all have given me.

| I know what you mean. I catch myself feeling pepper's kneecaps for a catch, listening for that noise that they make with collapsed trachea, watching for her to vomit bile, and counting her poos(afraid her food has to many fillers). On a good note I now know that pumpkin will help diarrhea and I'm eating healthier because pepper likes yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce and carrots. And I'm baking again, forgot how much I liked to do that

| Tell me about it... I am a nurse and sometimes knowing too much is NOT a good thing.

| I know what you mean, it can be tad overwhelming and sometimes contradictory. Sometimes after being on here every time Alphy makes a noise or twitches or something I've decided he's dying or has some illness that he doesn't really have.

| I know how you feel. Mine isn't exactly a fear of LP or CT, but of a freak accident. I bawl for hours after I read a story about another dog killing a pup, or getting hit after running out into the road, or even falling or jumping off something and getting killed. I am so paranoid anytime a family member picks Jamie up because he is a handful and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to him. And I keep all my doors locked so that everyone has to knock to get in so I can pick Jamie up so he won't bolt out the door. Being a puppy mommy is stressful...

| Mascot Whenever my husband gets home, I always have a new question... yesterday's was" DO you think Mascot has Roach back?" his reply is always "are you on Yorkie Internet again"...... lol. I am happy to be educated though. Dot
