Hey now! I'm a younger member! I'm offended! Hehe!:p Just kidding, when it comes to sensitivity I'm about as sensitive as sand paper.

On that note, I'm 23 when I got my Yorkie and my husand is 27, and we both know darn well what happens when two hormone driven animals get together and the consequences (it's like high school all over again).

So when it comes to blaming age for ignorance, that's like blaming misspelled words on my pencil and/or keyboard in this case.

I think some people just enjoy the attention despite the downfall of others, or in this case the possible killing of a beautiful baby girl Yorkie.

Sad but true!

I am still really confused as to why the OP took offence to helpful and tactful advise. I'm also wondering how everything with Bee is going.

I think you hit it right on the nose .................. sad.

Haha- I'm only 19! I'll be 20 in September...and I am very sensitive. :( But even I didn't really see anything that would/should actually hurt anyone's feelings.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

i'm 23 now was about 21 when we got Sadie. and i can attest to the fact that youth makes you much more defensive when you feel threatened or attacked. even though the intention of the posters is nothing but love for your dog, you see it as an attack on YOU and i was there once and remember feeling threatened but it was my young age and lack of experience that made me so defensive.

I guess I'm different. I was very much tougher as a younger person. I've mellowed and become quite vulnerable as an older woman.

I'm 20yrs old, got Jackson at 18, and never did I think I could allow him around an unspayed female in heat, or ever. He was neutered like a responsible pet owner does at an appropriate age. Then again, I'm in the rarity for people my age with pets... or people my age in general. I think most of the time young people with pets is not a good idea. I will never understand why it's so hard to get through peoples head how important spay/neuter is. And if you have reasons why you don't want to, you have to be 10000% responsible to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen. This doesn't even sound like any kind of precaution was taken, to be honest.... But I also realize everyone makes mistakes and I am just concerned for the baby. But I wanted to point out that this is why whenever we see threads where people say "Oh no, my dog will NEVER be around another unaltered dog- it just WON'T happen!!!"... and then it typically does. This is why the average pet owners should always S/N.

You have been givin some good advice from many people. While it isnt always what we want to hear, that doesnt mean people are being mean. You came on wanting support--was it for you or Bee? While your scared and confused--Bee's health should be your concern. If you truely care aboout her then get he spayed right away. Let me tell you a story that COULD happen to Bee.
I was young and didnt know any better (maybe 19-20) and definatley didnt know anthing about breeding dogs and having a litter of pups. we lived in the mountians and the only vet around was a horse dr. i came home one day to find that my 6 month old female heeler who was in heat (in my fenced yard) had a male from a neighbor down the road tied to her.he had some how gotten in the fence. while she probably weighed 30 pounds and he was probably 50 pds, i didnt know there would be a problem if she did get pregnant. well she did. so about 60 days later she went into labor--i called the vets office and they said just watch her, she will be fine. 3 hours of heavy contractions i had to help get the first pup out, 3 more hours of heavy contractions the 2nd pup wasnt comming--i called the vet--they said she will be fine, just takes time. 2 more hours go by--the pup born dead.this was in the afternoon. heavy contractions went on all evening and no more pups were comming. i knew somthing wasnt right and she was having alot of trouble-i called the vet again, and asked if i could bring her in--they said she will be fine and if she hadnt had the rest of the pups by morning to bring her in. she cried all night and was in pain. i called them back and told them she was crying and nothing was happening--they said it was because se was young dog, and she will be fine. my beloved dog died that night in my arms with puppies still in her and i was left with 1 to raise ( a HUGE job in its self) i rased the pup and he was like having a real baby in the house-maybe more work than a real baby= i tell you this story because i wouldnt want this to happen to you. i was young, didnt know any better and had no one to tell me what to do. i only wish i had experienced people to guide me. dont rely on vets that dont know the breed. there was only 1 thing that suffered that night and that was my dog. and it all could have been avioded if i had her spayed early on the pregnancy. (spayed period) that was 25 years ago and her cries, and her death still haunt me. her death taught me a hard lesson.
Do you really want something like this possibly happen to BEE?

i wish i had someone be MEAN to me with advice and concern for my girl.

If this doesn't convince her to get Bee spayed, nothing will. Too sad.

Thank you for sharing your experience here. It may help someone in the future. It could not have been easy to write. I know that I am sad just reading it. Again, thank you for having the courage to share. :thumbup:

Has anyone heard from the OP? Just curious how Bee is doing, if she isn't going to give us an update maybe someone else can?

I am so sorry you had to go through this experience. I hope the OP reads this and decides to terminate the pregnancy for the welfare of Bee.

Thank you for having the courage to share such a powerful experience. In all that I have heard and read the thing that I read over and over the most is that the female has to be larger than the male.

Hopefully she has just not posted because her fellings are still a little tender.

I pray that Bee is in good health.

Does anyone know her who can give us an update?

Ok, I am not a LONG time member and I have scrolled through the pages for this thread but I wanted to share my thought and maybe enlighten the OP.

It seems to me that she is not seeing the true intent of all the posts, they are not to put her down or beat her up but to help her furbaby.

I think if you are going to post here you have to be willing to take a hit now and then because not everyone is going to say what you want to hear and to be honest there are an awful lot of members here with experience that we/I cant compare to. I look to their replies for guidence.

I know that allot of member are friends but it seems to me that the true gift of this group is helping protect our babies. Im gonna share a quick story.

I posted a thread about training Charlie cause I thought he was to old to be trained. turned out he not to old but to spoiled :) Now there were posts there that were hard to hear but in after thought were true. Now due to the posts I am working on my part in training Charlie but only becuase of the advise I was given.

So I urge the OP to take the advise given here seriously, do not take it as a personal attack and remember the goal of the group is to learn from each other.

Wow!!! What an experience to go through. This is such a very powerful story. I hope the OP reads this - because if this doesn't convince her - then nothing will.

Thank you so much for sharing. I know you had to relive it in order to post your experience, but hopefully you just saved a little yorkie.

while im ashamed to have had this happen, and post it here, it was a lesson learned that no-
one should put there pets threw on the- "she should be fine" assumption. what i went thru that night with my girl was horrible----BUT- its NOTHING compared to what she went thru. While not all litters may result in the same situation that happened to me--its a risk that should never be taken, knowing that its a possibilty. I am such a worry wort when it comes to my furkids now. And having her spayed now is a risk i would take in a heartbeat if i knew i could avoid her possibly suffering.
I only wanted to share this-in hopes no-one else goes threw this or puts there furkids this this. Trust me--the guilt of something happening is not what you dont want to live with if it does.

I am so sorry this happened. :( Thank you for sharing it...even though it was undoubtably painful to do so.

Lauren, I know you are still reading these posts. Please take this story to heart. Bee is COUNTING on you to look out for her. This all just breaks my heart.

Charlies Momma :clapsmile :goodpost:

I sure wish each of us YT's could have 5 minutes alone with that vet!!! Your baby's life could probably have been saved at several junctures had he cared.

Your story just made me cry. If after reading this she still does nothing then their is no hope. I'm still looking to see if she took care of her girl, does anyone know?

That is such a painful experience to go through and so sad to write I am guessing. Thank you for putting it out there for Loren and others to read at a later date.

This is so sad that Loren has made this about her and not about Bee. I just pray that she does the right thing for the dog, the dog that she says she loves.

I PM'd her days ago a very nice message offering her emotional support and sent a friend request and I never heard from her at all and she didn't accept the friend request either

we were friends on here but she's ignoring me too...very very hurt by the whole thing and never thought she was the type to act this way :(

what a sad story.. but thank you for sharing this hard lesson of yours. I know you have helped a lot of pups in memory of your first baby!!

Lauren,
How is Bee? Have you taken her to the vet and had x rays done yet?

Worried about Bee.... :(

Me too..except I am not hurt. I am annoyed. She calls other people the b word but she is the only I have seen that exhibits that behavior.

Any update on Bee???

Wow, I just read every post I am so sad for that poor girl.. hey mama,can you update us, I been away with my business and just loged in,so sorry this happen to your girl, any news,did you get her spayed? you have gotten excellent advise here and I really did not read nothing harsh or offending, please take a minute and let us know what is going on..
