Hi, you are certainly NOT an idiot woman!!!! LOL
I know how hard it is to make decisions...I've been very lucky that I have met friends and breeders who have helped and advised me along the way! You don't just 'suddenly' get wisdom or an enquiring mind! I haven't just started Judging 'just like that' either, I've done, along with most folks! a long apprenticeship!
My two 'ickle boys you see in the picture?...well, they are the most precious things in the whole World and I certainly would worry and fret about the right thing to do! For some reason, I don't know whether it's their size or their personality?? but I have never ever felt this way about my doggies before! They are just so darn cute!!! But then I've always had big, boisterous working dogs before them!
I think that's why it's so difficult to make health decisions? Mine have Pet Passports and even that took some serious thought...mainly because the size of the dose, it's the same, whether it's a Yorkie or a Newfie!! So you have to be satisfied in your own mind that yes, you want to go down that route. The reason I decided to get them their Passports, was so I wouldn't have to leave them for any time if we went to our house in Greece! How on earth could I trust anyone else to look after them, or not lose them, or keep them warm etc etc etc for the time I was on Holiday!
All I'm trying to say is that we have to find the balance that we are happy with and can live with. Hindsight is an amazing tool but is useless whilst we are making the decisions we need to!!
I pray that Muffin and yourself get through this and that 2007 is a happier, healthier time with lots of cuddles and love, may God grant you peace and assurance, love Dawn XX
