im heartbroken and worried, advice needed please hi everyone, i live by myself in a little apt while im finishing college in alabama...i just got some bad news that id rather not put on here, sorry BUT..it is effecting me in that i must bring my bff and babygirl, bailey to my mom's house in GA, until i can move out\graduate, which is aug. 5th, but ill prob actualky move a few days after graduation, anyway, i have no other options, trust me ive gone over this a 100 times, and im so devestated, i do everything with my bailey, i feel like shes very attached to me, as i am to her, shes only been living with me since xmas, and she'll be a year old next month. this is going to be the hardest thing ever, ive been crying so much...i do know that shell be taken very good care of though, my mom has 5 toy poodles, that she loves to play with, so shell def be entertained..the biggest difference that she'll face is not sleeping with me, she will have to sleep in a cage next to the other dogs. im worried that she'll get depressed wondering where i am, or missing me....i will go visit when im able to in the next month, but im doing my internship here everyday and i work on the wknds so it will be hard. any advice to help me? or any advice that i should give my mom to help her feel more comfortable without me? i dont want anything to happen to my precious angel. |
Such a good Momma! Good news is, it's only temporary (from what I understand until Aug. 5) and you're mom is willing to take her until you're done with school. Bad news is you're going to miss you baby and she'll miss you. But no worries, you two will see each other again. And she's with your Mom as opposed to you having to give her to a rescue. The first day will be tough, for you more then you're baby. She'll do probably with my Gizmo does when he gets babysatt by grandma. He misses me for about oh 15 min. Then a shiny object will go by or my Mom's dog will bark at him and it'll be like I never left. Especially since he has other fur friends there, I think she'll be fine. You have my support and I know you'll be able to do it. Just make sure you give your baby a good night call every night! |
P.S. i cant bring her to my mom's until next sunday, so i still have another week with my sweet girl. and its only going to be like this for 5-6 weeks hopefully no longer. |
Oh, I feel your pain...but, do you think your mom could make an exception for Bailey and allow her to at least sleep with her? Or, if she must be kenneled at night, would she keep the kennel near her bed so, Bailey can see her? On the other hand, it is temporary...but, still sad!:( Hugs...:hug: |
She'll be ok. Maybe a little sad. Take some pj's or clothes you've worn for her to sleep with. |

Hi Kasey, I hope everthing goes okay. Bailey will be fine but I do know what you mean my Teasell was sick over this weekend and had to sleep in her playpen instead of in bed with me. I couldn't sleep though she was only about 3 feet from my bed, You just get so used to having that contact. I'm sure there will be lots of people here at Yorkietalk that can help talk you through the few weeks you'll be without Bailey, me included.....:animal37:animal37 |

omg no, no rescue drop-off, id prob drop out of school before i let anything happen to bailey, shes my world. trust me, i even thought about maybe a friend could keep her in the meantime, but nooo i only trust myself with her and my mom, lol..id be wayyy too paranoid of anyone else had her. do you think itd help if i left a shirt of mine with her like you know how people say to leave your scent or what not? thanks again, :\ ugh i am going to miss her so much, its already bringing tears to my eyes talking ab it on here, as shes cuddled up in my lap now..ahh! |
I would leave a shirt of yours with her then she has the smell of Momma close by. And once again, she'll be fine and thsoe 5 weeks will be ove before you knwo it. |
Just like others have said, leaving a shirt or something you have worn, so Bailey can snuggle in it and have your scent. I just watched my cousin's little yorkie last week. She left a shirt she was wearing. He would lay on it, and curl up in it. after a day or so, he was playing with my crew. It sure helped. :thumbup: |
The clothes idea is a great one. I had to take my daughters silky when she first got him for three months. Of course he slept with me. That's a long story also. Sounds like your mom loves dogs she should be just fine. Good luck and time goes so fast she will be back in your arms in no time |
That is a really tough one.. But, she is going to be at your mom's and have other dogs to keep her company. It is not going to be too long either, so I think it will be ok. She is going to be in a crate for sleeping, I agree that something with your scent on it will help her at night. Nightime will probably be the most difficult for the both of you. However, she will adjust. Your able to trust your mother, so I think this will be fine. Sometimes we have to make very tough decisions as pet owners. |
Oh thank yall soo much for all the replies and thoughtfulness! I love this site!! I will ask my mom if she will let her sleep in bed with her, i'm sure if she says no, she will put her where she can see her at night. I'm the one who will probably be crying myself to sleep, not her. My mom spoils all 5 of her little toy poodles, so i know Bailey will be in great hands! Some good news for Bailey is that she will barely be in her cage during the day, and the weekends, b/c my mom works from home and always puts a little kid gate up at the door, and lets all the poodles stay in the office with her all day long, taking them outside for potty time throughout the day lol....I know she'll like that! When i have to go to work, She has to be alone for 5-6 hours at a time....which i HATE, but i have to do it while i'm in school trying to get by lol She will get plenty of social time in the next 5-6 weeks, which i guess is a good thing right?! |
It sounds like you have prepared yourself for this brief seperation and that you are doing your very best to see that the transition for Bailey will be uneventful. Dogs adjust and adapt much better than humans, and I would be willing to bet that Bailey adjusts and accepts her temporary home much quicker and better than you accept being alone for a few weeks. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel -- and it's a short tunnel at that. So, think of it as an extended vacation for Bailey, put your nose to the books, get that degree and look forward to a happy reunion. |
i know is heart breaking but she will be alright.. that's the main thing.. SHe will have loads of attention from your mum and alos loads of friends to play... :) |
