***I Feel So Guilty About Tibbe.***

[yorkietalkjilly]

Thank you all for the sweet thoughts. I feel understood here at this site but soon as I feel better, I have got to find some back-up to my back-up for those kinds of days but I will have the hotel IF I have to leave him during the hours they are open. Still, most emergencies don't always happen when it's convenient. The upside of this is, Tibbe is acting normally today and he's over there in the kitchen having a late brunch of some of his hepatic diet canned food mixed in with his kibble. Except for last Sunday when he was kind of lethargic, he's been totally well and normal as to his probable MVD . He's very, very slowly being changed over to the hepatic so as to hopefully avoid any terrible itching by just going straight to a whole hepatic meal. We'll see but so far, no tummy troubles on his part!!!

Happy to hear Tibbe is doing well with his new diet. I'm sure he is relieved to have you home.

I understand how hard it is to come up with a backup to your backup emergency person.

It is hard! I have lovely neighbors but one has 3 small children and never would trust her to open the door to this house and be able to curtail Tibbe if he decided to bolt the door because I wasn't here. And with those 3 little kids, she could leave them to run after him. And they could hurt him if he didn't bolt. They don't have a dog and probably have little understanding of how to handle a Yorkie. My other neighbor is the one with the two Corgis and I just don't know for sure about her ability to keep Tibbe safe. My neighbor across the street could have carefully cared for him but she died. It's hard when your dog is a small little dog who is high-maintenance and apt to do anything when you are not around.

Aww poor Tibbe! Poor baby didn't touch his food while you were gone, he probably stayed in 1 spot & waited for you! This makes me so sad, but oh how happy he must've been to see you finally home. I think my guys (esp Momo) would've devoured their food & slept all day while I was gone lolll.

All the vet offices around here offer boarding. Maybe they have something like that where you are? IDK if you'd rather have Tibbe sit in a cage all day, but I think the vet techs will steal some cuddle time w/him! They also give them potty breaks outside & give them food/ meds if needed, just like a pet hotel.

Take care of your sweet self Jeanie!

I look for your posts to see how tibbe is doing- i hate to leave my yorkies- if i had to i would try to keep them home and have some nice lady from church come over. A dog loving lady- pray for guidance . I hope that cute little fella is strong and healthy-

Both my groomer and my vet offer boarding, and since my groomer lives in a double-wide next to their building, I could probably take him there in a pinch, even after hours, maybe. I have boarded with my vet before and they take the little ones out & give them attention, but he still got diarrhea and didn't eat both times he was boarded there. A neighbor could come feed and let him out if you had someone you would trust with a key, in case you left and weren't able to get back home due to an emergency. A situation like you just went through makes one think of the available options...

Poor baby, he really is such a good boy! My Teddy would have literally been peeing everywhere! I bet he was so happy to see you

Thank you for sharing this, it made me realize that I really need a better emergency plan myself! I will be working on one tonight

Awwww what a good boy little Tibbe is! He was so worried and missing mommy, he forgot all about food. So happy he is ok. Are you ok, praying all is well now with you...((HUGGZZ))

I am so glad tibbe is ok- we always worry about the dog first- he was a great dog-while you were away- he could have torn the house up- i will pray for you- hope you recover soon- mr tibbe needs you home- i look forward to your posts- get well jeanne-

[jeane]

[lisaly]

I've been thinking about you a lot, and I keep praying that you will get better soon. I hope your next doctor's report is excellent and that your body has healed. I keep thinking of you and Tibbe together watching over each other. The two of you make such a wonderful , special team. May love to you always, Jeanie.

Blessings to you and tibbe- you are in alot of thoughts and prayers- you send so much love and caring over this thread may you feel healing power today-

Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers. Wonderworking! We're both doing good! Tibbe hasn't had a bad day since that lethargic Sunday before last and I'm feeling much better. He's eating, feisty, chased squirrels yesterday and was running right beside a slow one(!) and sleeps well. He's constantly begging me for training and walking time!!! Healthy appetite. Bouncy. Defiant and talkin' back! I think I've got my old Tibbe back at last!!! I'm rich!
