Did your relationship with your furbabies change after skin babies? I am 6 months pregnant with first baby, and have two yorkies, Toby and Maisie. I absolutely adore them, and cant imagine that i am just going to disregard them once baby comes along. I am getting sooo fed up with "non doggy people" telling me I will have no time for them, they are going to be too jealous to be around the baby, I wont want them anymore etc, might as well get rid of them now etc (my inlaws are the worst culprits)....
Now dont get me wrong, I think it will be difficult to juggle my time for a while at the start. They do get a lot of attention and inevitablely that will decrease for a while. They might not get a long walk every day, but I still think there will be time to get down on the floor with them, play ball, cuddle them etc. And of course they can snuggle up beside me when I am feeding baby etc.
Am I being niave - will things change that much?
