| ![]() Don't feel bad!! When I got my second yorkie I cried so much I got a migraine!! It lasted a couple of days!! I was crying for no reason. First it was because I thought that my first yorkie felt hurt. Then I cried and cried and cried!! It will pass!! Good luck to you!! |

| ![]() 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.... |

| ![]() Pinky, it is overwelming, a new baby in the house takes getting use to! I promise you girl, in a few weeks time, you will feel a lot better. Dont feel bad, and dont feel guilty, just remember to pick her up and love her, she feels your emotions, and you need to bond with her. They grow up so fast, in a few months time you will be longing for those little puppy days again. You are a good mom, it really isnt unusual or abnormal to have the blues. Good luck to you, PM me if you want to chat, i'm here for you. HUGS!!

| ![]() Oh my lord, you are not weird or alone in this. The weekend we got our little baby Samson my husband was away, so I headed up to my mother-in-law's house (she's the one who picked him up from the breeder) with my sister-in-law. I feel in love at first site, but man did Samson cry those first few nights. Right away I knew it was going to be a lot of hard work and patience. However, after two nights up north, I came home on sunday. I was by myself with Samson for the first time and I just sat down and cried and cried. I called my husband up (he was on his way home but still hours away) and wailed to him "I Think we made a mistake!!!!!!!!!" I was so overwhelmed. I called a friend who has an older yorkie and she talked me off the ledge a little bit, but I was still totally freaked out. Samson is now 8 months and we are still having trouble potty training him. Just two nights ago I sat on the floor and cried because he peed on the carpet AGAIN!!! It's so overwhelming and sometimes you think it's never going to happen. But a few months ago, he was doing great, so I know we can get there again. |

| ![]() I wish I had joined yorkietalk when I got Isla 2 months ago. I went through the same thing right after I brought her home. I knew exactly what I was because I had post partum anxiety after my 2nd child. I have four kids under 5 years old but when I turned 30 in August I wanted a housedog. Apparently turning 30 doesn't make you any smarter! ![]() Since it was my idea for the puppy I didn't feel like it was anyone else's responsibility but my own to care for her. Stupid, I know. Ultimately I had to go on anti-anxiety meds since that's what helped last time. I'm not saying you would have to, I just know my body and mind and that's what helped get me through. But! Isla did get better and I only sat in the kitchen with her for a week or so and then I thought to myself-get a grip and bring her out in the house. I had her on a leash for the first 3-4 days just so I could watch her. But she got better fast. And at night it helped to have her kennel next to my bed on a chair so she could see me and smell me. I would stick my fingers in her kennel if she would whine and she'd stop. It also helped to walk her or have her play with neighbors dogs before bed (8-10ish). Anyways, like others have said, it get better fast and you'll be loving your new family member. Be stong!!! ![]() |
