Yes. I was with Muffin and I am with Kacee, too. They are helpless, so someone needs to watch over them very closely. They depend upon us to protect them. They trust us to do so.

Oh yeah! Although they're so little they need protecting. Maybe we're all just diligently protective- not over protective. Just giving our babies what they need and deserve.

Both my husband and i are over protective. They can't fend for themselves, so we do it for them. They trust us, and depend on us.

Extremely! Since Cali was so sick as a puppy I am overprotective. Also, it seems like every time I do let go a little and take her out she gets sick!

My response to the thread was No. not at all, I let them be dogs but that needs to be qualified. I do pet and spoil them and protect them when they need to be protected. However, I DO allow them to be dogs -- they get to do fun stuff like roll in horse poop, and go to the barn and chase the barn kitties....

But on the other hand, I am obsessive about making sure that they eat enough, and are protected from things that will harm them.....

When Mini was a baby alot more so ..folks just did'nt know how wiggly she was and would not look out for her if she was on the ground so I was always running behind her to keep her safe , now haha I won't let anything hurt her but let her find her way lol like walking on stones near water ect .. I know she'll be allright and I am nearby .

My parents always bust my chops about what not to feed Baby. So my dad always says, "I gave her a little chocolate today." Kidding of course, or I'd have to beat his little hiney! LOL
