I'm not sure about the walking for Betty Boop. My veterinarian encouraged me to let Ashley walk if she wanted to and just to check for any kinds of heat and distress. When it was hot out, I could only walk her in the morning or evening. They are so little and low to the ground, so the heat bouncing back on them is too much for them. I am a bit protective by nature, and I was very overprotective of my babies. Ashley loved shopping because she loved seeing all the people. Except for food stores, I ended up only shopping in stores that she could come with me. Betty Boop is still young, and she will get more used to people. As friendly as Ashley was, she still was clingy too and like a baby. Our little one, Gracie, was more like Betty Boop. She was 6 months when we got her, so it took her longer to get acclimated to other people. She was very tiny and beautiful, so she got more attention from others. She was a bit reserved with people but a terror and lovebug with us. The way you've described Betty Boop, it reminds me so much of Gracie. I really hope you never have to worry about surgery with Betty Boop and that she can run and play like she should without any pain. |
