Please put my name down on the 'therapy' list. I've read all the posts and understand completely. My Nibbler is my baby and always will be I talk to him constantly, sing to him, basically do much the same I did for both my children when they were babies. If I'm in the bathroom and he hasn't managed to get in and he starts scratching at the door or whining I say, It's ok darling, mummy won't be long! If we have visitors to the house I am extremely protective, Nibbler loves to say hello, unfortunately not everyone likes this and if they push him away or push him off their laps I have to bite my tongue! They wouldn't do that to my other 'children' so what gives them the right to do it to my doddy dodd dodd!!! If we can't take my little boy with us, we don't go, simple as and he is never left alone, not even for 5 minutes, you wouldn't go out and leave your other baby alone, not for a minute, so why do it to your furbaby, I certainly don't. I'm sure people think I'm mad but so what, they don't know love till they've had a Yorkie and in my opinion they are missing out - bring on the straight jacket, I'll wear it proudly!!!!
