the other day she happened to rub her head on the floor while playing around and it sent me on a mad search for information about head pressing.
i analyze her every bm as if i'm some scientist. i dole out her food practically piece by piece to make sure it's not too much or too little. i'm always checking her gums to make sure they're nice and pink. and then today......i went to take her outside (on her leash) but saw a huge friggin' hawk and turned back around.
has anyone else felt like they were spazzing out this way? surely there are plenty beloved yorkies who live long, healthy lives.....right? |
I feel the same way and have the same question as you have! Sometimes I spend too much time in this particular forum. Now that Lucy may have liver issues - I worry about EVERY LITTLE THING. I worry that she won't be with me as long as I want or won't live a very long life . . .
My Westie is, by most standards, a small dog as well. But sturdy . .and does not need so much watching over. I love my Lucy but danger seems everywhere with such a tiny dog!
