 A little worried too.
I'm a little worried also. Gideon is almost 6 months old now. He's almost 4 lbs and a sturdy little guy. I really want to socialize him now that he has had all his vaccinations. My problem is all my friends have large dogs. Pit bulls, ridgeback mix, lab and huskie. The closest to his age and size is an 8 month old beagle mix. We stop and see her on our walks but they are both so excited I'm afraid she will pounce on him and it will be all over.
I chose a Yorkie because they are absolutely adorable and because of the lower allergy issue for me. He is the smallest dog I have ever owned. On walks he eats everything in his path which makes for a more stressful walk. Lots of Geese (droppings) in my area. I want to let him have his fun but I seem to always be correcting him away from the dangers to his little life. I sure hope things get a easier after the toddler teething stage.
I think we just have to be the best, smartest, puppy parent we can be without stressing ourselves out or putting our puppies on a no touch pedestal. Hope your (and my) anxiety relaxes as our puppies get older. |
