Am I paranoid?
 

Sometimes I feel like I worry too much about my babies...when I'm not with them I'm constantly thinking about "what if" scenerios and I don't really trust anyone else with them. Does anyone else do this? Am I being paranoid and crazy? :eek: :confused:

Your not crazy at all, You sound like me.. :rolleyes: I am terrible unless I am right here..:animal36
I do not go to far or long.. and when I am not here and with hubby, I worry the what if's. :eek: :eek:
I think that is what happens when we love them so much and they are our lives, :eek: and like me if there was a death too early for what ever reason. It never leaves your mind. :( You become more protective.
Also being on YT and seeing how easy it is for an accident to happen. We seem to keep this in our minds. Maybe we are too serious about our baby's..
So if your crazy, I am too.. LOL

I do it all the time. It really isn't a healthy way to live my life, but I can't help it. Even when I'm with them I worry. For example, Matty Lu ate a piece of mesh from her stroller last night and I keep watching her and wondering if she's constipated or how it might affect her. I'm a nutcase with stuff like that.

You are not alone on this one:) We went to my hubbys sisters house xmas day, and there are NO pets allowed, i didnt even have fun, I just wanted to get back home with my babies, Sounds crazy i know, but thats the way it is.

i'm guilty of this also

Same of me with Lucy. I'm overprotective and I don't think it will change :)

We might all need therapy.

I have only worried about mine once, and that was the other day, when we stopped in KY to see my sister(she has 5 inside dogs), well, we were going to go out for dinner, so we put her pen up across the huge kitchen, one of her dogs I don't trust, and the whole time we were eating, I was worried that maybe Fritz would go over the gate and her dog would chew him up, but, when we got back, they were all fine..other than that, I never let them interfere with my life..I know worrying is not good for anyone..

Yup your right, :eek: we might need to make a therapy thread..:eek: LoL

I can't stay away from Maggie and Bailey for more than two hours. I make up excuses on why I have to go home. My family thinks I'm crazy and say I love "those dogs" more than I love them. But they're grown and married, and my furbabies need me! (and I need them!)

i feel that way all the time..when i am at work, i am constantly worried about them..i usually take them to day care 3 times a week but when they are at home, we have the security camera installed in the kitchen area where they usually stay and we watch them through out the day. We gated the in the kitchen area with their bed and blankie, food, water, toys and pee pads..it's funny cuz the usually just sleep most of the time. But yeah, i don't trust them with anyone except my hubby. I am just paranoid all the time..seriously, i need therapy

I am also the same way. I dont really trust anyone with my baby :) maybe only my boyfriend's sister but thats about it. I think its a normal thing because we have little furkids :)

This is my brain when I leave the house:

What if they try jumping the gate and their foot gets stuck and they hare hanging there with a broken leg.

What if their collar gets stuck

What if they choke on something

What if the house burns down and no one knows they are there

What if they fight and someone gets hurt

What if I forgot to put someone in their room

What if I forgot someone outside

And the list goes on..... I drive my self crazy and have actually turned around to check and make sure all was ok!

Guilty too! My family and friends think that I am crazy, but I do admit I love and like my fur babies more than most people I know, so maybe I am weird, but truly happy! I try to never leave them alone (I work at home), I don’t like visits cause I’m paranoid they could step on my girls or drop them (people always want to pet and carry them) and I pay a fortune in sitters if a ever have to go out (and I don’t enjoy myself wanting to go back home all the time).

Its good to know I am not alone here! :)

yes, I worry constantly! Especially when I read threads about dogs accidentally getting out, lost, or stolen. This morning I went with my sister to Shreveport, LA and left Lacy at home for the day...my dad took her and Rylie out to potty. This morning I kept thinking about her getting loose and some mornings I wake up and wonder if we'll have another morning together. I leave the house and worry someone will break in and steal her. I walk her on her harness and leash but am afraid she'll get loose and get ran over. Ugh...I know I shouldn't worry so much. But then it doesn't help to see threads of the babies that have gone missing or died from accidents on here :( Just makes me worry more about my baby. I think I\'m definitely paranoid. I\'m just always worried something is going to happen to her. I love her so much...I just don\'t know what I would do. My sister actually asked me today what I was going to do when Lacy died...I told her she just better live for many many more years. I could accept her dying from health issues or old age but an accident would just devestate me even more...I would probably never forgive myself if something happened to her.
