I guess I just wanted to say "aloud" what I was thinking and get some reassurance that I wasn't the only one and that it is okay. If I knew a few months ago what I know now, I probably would have waited on getting a Yorkie for a few years, but what is done is done. She is ours now and I overall am glad. |
Oh, I'm so glad to read your second post! From your first post when your first expressed emotion was to say that you liked her,
even loved her, and sometimes wish you hadn't got her, it sounded like a less than enthusiastic expression of your feeling for your dog and I worried this could become an issue & perhaps problems would be brewing if there wasn't a deep loving bond there & that was causing some of the guilt you mentioned & some extra neediness from her. I'm
so relieved to read that your kids love her and that you have no thought for finding her a new home! As long as you & your family love her, you can deal with the work she requires & any guilt you feel &
whatever else comes up. As long as a dog has love and responsible owners who see to its needs, it will be fine. And your little girl will pay you back with so much love & loyalty, funny antics & charm, it won't be long before you can't imagine your life without your sweet little Yorkie!
