Setting Boundaries. Any advice appreciated!! Hello!
My 1 year old Yorkie, Ani Bear, is the love of my life.... BUT...
...I need some guidance on how to set boundaries with her.
I feel guilty if I'm not attentive to all her needs for play, cuddles and comfort, which I LOVE... but I also have to take care of myself and get some work done. How do I handle this without breaking her heart or mine?
Here's a few more details...
I'm home every day with her.... She's never spent a day without me.... I don't have children, so she is the focus of both mine and my boyfriend's life.... My boyfriend, when not traveling for business, is also completely smitten with her.... Needless to say, she has lots of attention.
When my boyfriend travels, it's just her and I which makes me the source of 100% of her needs. I love her so much, but I'm terrible at setting boundaries so that I can get my work done and take care of myself.
Any help and guidance would be awesome! |
