I do hope you feel better soon and that it isn't anything permanent. Take care of yourself so that you can take care of your baby.  |
I cannot even imagine spending 90 percent of my day in bed with my dog. And you think that is good? Dogs need EXERCISE. And yes, they are hard to please beacause they need and REQUIRE exercise. Love and attention are wonderful and she gets that a lot. But she needs to be a DOG and run around. Hence my decision to stop her from doing that for one night.
So, how do all of you that don't provide your dogs with the same level of exercise that I PROVIDE MY DOG feel about that? A lot of you have insulted me for doing something to keep my dog quite for one night. Well guess what, I think that you people are wrong for finding ways to NOT exericse your dogs for many nights.
That being said, I am very sorry for all the people on this site that have serious physical limitations. And I know that you are doing the best you can. BUT, if I had serious physical limitations, I would not have a Yorkie as they require a ton of exercise. I am not going to insult you guys the way you insulted me, but I really would like to.
