I pretty much just kept telling myself that s/he will be ok. And as they got older and stronger, my stress level went down as well. I think once you both go through the stages of first year vaccines and spaying (if you're not planning on having litters), you'll be a lot more relaxed.  Try to relax as much as possible. They can sense things like that... |
I had her crated with me in my room the 1st night, waking every hour or two when she does, to check on her. Also thinking she might get into something that'll make her hurt/sick. Held her in bed with me when she started to cry some, though she's actually not cried as much as I originally expected and not in the manner of missing her mother/siblings as much as she wanted to have attention and get out of the pen. I even fed her some nutri-cal and food in the middle of the night and cleaned up her pee/poop pads lol I was hesitant to move her in the new playpen, but agreed with my mom that she has been doing very well for her circumstance and she has done well staying in the pen since (aside from when she wants out to play or poop >< and she wants out more and more). Would've kept her in my room with me if she hadn't done as well. I wound up exhausted the next day at work ^^;; Everything she does I'm practically wanting to shadow her if there's the slightest concern that she's not being watched enough.
I keep telling myself she's tougher than she looks/feels and just keep an eye on her if she has sudden behavior changes (when she didn't eat as much I freaked some and left her food all day with her instead of giving at differ times, but I had to remind myself it's richer food) lol on the brighter side, losing 10lb could actually be great for me, just don't want the stress :P I guess cause she's so small I'm afraid of her getting squished. Our past male yorkie was small too, and got stepped on a lot and accidentally closed in a room. We had carpet then so he was very quiet, but hadn't worried if he tripped or something since the floor was softer. X.x but yea, I need to just take deep breaths and try to remind myself that it's not always as bad as it looks. Sometimes I panic enough to check her while she sleeps and try to check if she's breathing/still alive X_x;

Hmm, I'll remember about getting her pads trimmed
I normally wouldn't have minded the lap thing since we've kept to the floor, but when my mother mentioned she cried when she got out of her lap and landed badly, I was freaking out X.x;
