Senior Yorkie Talker | am i hurting my yorkies feelings? my bella is 11mths old and i love her to death, but i also have four children to attend to. the good thing is that the two oldest pretty much can do stuff for them selves and my third child is four and is not fussy at all.the problem is with the baby victoria she is 18 mths old and is really stuck to mommy which is me. lately my aunt who suffer's from mild depression has asked me to take my daughter over to her house for the weekend so she won't be so alone. also she is a great babysitter she has seven childen and only has one grandson he is twelve so he really isn't a baby anymore. the sadest thing yet is that her oldest daughter wants to get pregnant but can't she has tried invitro several time but nothing yet. well back to my point. well ever since i got bella my daughter has been going to my aunts every weekend so bella is home with me all day and has me all to herself. she sleep's with me during the day,watches t.v with me, goes outside and play's with me,and we have fun all weekend long,but when the week comes along i think she dreads it.when i pick up victoria she start's getting really possesive. if i'm in the living room bella comes and sits beside me to watch tv, but then victoria see's her and say's move bella and tries to push her off the sofa.i feel so bad because they both want to be with me so i have to put bella down so victoria can sit with me. as i continue to watch tv i can see bella just looking at me with her puppy eyes she looks so sad. also to make it worse she starts wimpering and tries to get up. i have tried putting bella on one side and victoria on the other but the baby wont have it, she want's me all to herself. i've also caught victoria trying to pull bella's hair. i know she's just a baby but i think victoria is also jealous of bella and visversa.when im lying down with my daughter bella comes and tries to squeeze herself between us,but to no avail.is there something i can do? bella loves the weekends because she knows my daughter won't be there.is there any advice anyone can give me??????

| IMO I think that your daughter should come first since she is your child. You love your dog, but Victoria is your daughter.... On the other side of that, when Victoria is old enough (she might be already...) she should be taught how to treat animals and that they can be around you with out taking anything away from her attention. Maybe spending time with your dog can become an activity you AND your daughter can share together.
