I love him and am going to get through this, but I get so overwhelmed and teary, probably from sleep deprivation (he's a terrible whiner when we put him in his pen or his crate). My boyfriend, bless his heart, is so good to Teddy, but gets frustrated that I'm so weepy when I was the one who wanted a yorkie for years and years! My boyfriend's mom says I have baby blues, and that it's normal to feel overwhelmed, and assured us that it's okay to put Teddy in his pen sometimes so he isn't indulged all the time. Has anyone else felt like this? I feel so silly crying like this, but I can't help it. We both work days and it seems like nothing gets done anymore, we're both so involved with Teddy. Any advice?  |
Oh girl, you sure are NOT alone on this!!
I had terrible baby blues when Chanel (my second) yorkie came home.
The first few hours were fine, we got visitors admiring the baby oohhhing and ahhhhing all over her, she was way tiny, Chelsey was only 5 months old at that time.
All the visitors left, and here i sat with this tiny little thing, Chelsey hated her the first 10 days and i felt aweful and so guilty!
When the puppies were asleep, i quickly did some chores around the house, it was far from spotless like i was used to!
Cleaning up after them, and getting their next meal ready and clean potty pads on the floors (oh how i remember) LOL
Now that they a bit older and can keep themselves occupied, i look back and just smile, time goes so fast, soon you will wish your baby was a little puppy again!
Good luck and remember it will soon change!
