When I got my first yorkie 3 years ago I felt the same way. I was a very young mother and I successfully raised twin human daughters who are 25 now and I felt like such a fool to be having trouble adjusting to just a puppy. About two weeks into having her I panicked because for one whole evening I just wanted to give her away for good, as I thought I had made a bad mistake. I kept her, thank god. I love her so much now I panic at the thought of something happening to her. I think maybe some of what you go through may be just part of the bonding experience even with pets. I have since added my second yorkie and she in her own little way has been a little bit of an adjustment, but I am so much more relaxed with any negative feelings knowing how much joy they bring.... |
