Don't be afraid to be the crazy dog lady. I've been the crazy mom of someone most my life. When my kids were young I was the mom that would not let them visit a friend without meeting the parents and going to their home first. I wouldn't let them ride their bikes in the road, they could not leave the yard without permission and there were, they say, a hundred other rules. I was unimpressed with what "all the other kids" did. Safety and what was right is all that concerned me.
I feel the same way about my pets. I'm going to do what is best for them regardless of some family member that thinks I am over protective or "crazy." How crazy would I be if something DID happen to one of my pets??
What other people say or think means very little to me. |
