| Am I Wrong? I have a 2lbs yorkie puppy 11 wks . I love her so much and I just got her yesterday. Well my aunt wanted to hold her but I wouldn't let her because she had a stroke a while back and she has one usable arm and I know london(my puppy) likes to wiggle and I just did not want to take that chance, that she falls and hurts herself or worse. My aunt said I shouldnt praise the puppy but how am I praising her when I am just worrying about her well-being...ugh..AM I JUST OVER REACTING

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | You are protecting a very fragile baby. No, I don't think you were wrong. But maybe you could find a way for your aunt to hold her so that she can get some puppy love, too.

| Yes...I thought about that but my aunt is the type that doesnt want help. She wants to do it herself..I let her pet her and everything but im so scared that she might drop her...

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | You have every right to be worried these little ones are so fragile but I'm sure you aunti had hurt feelings. Maybe you could just be sure you little one has a harness and a leash on and be sure that whoever is holding her is sitting down and first holding the leash just in case she wiggles away. If you allow any small children always be sure they are sitting on the floor. It is much safer that way.

| Maybe you could put her in a soft pet sling...one made of fabric only, like a baby sling? That way your aunt can still cradle your pup, but she'll be more secure in her sling.

YT 1000 Club Member | No! You're protecting your baby. I know it seems kind of rude/mean to tell ppl especially family members that you prefer them not to hold your pup but it's for her safety....maybe you could say something like "London is really squirmy so I rather she stay with me or on the ground" or "I'd rather not anyone outside of our home hold her til she's fully vaccinated" if neither of those works you can always put her in her crate/xpen when you have company in your room that way no one is tempted to pick her up. Even the most well meaning people have accidents. Id rather come off overprotective and have a healthy uninjured pup than let others hold her(when I had second doubts) and something happen. Pics please!!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Maybe have Auntie sit in the middle of a bed and hold your pup. Then the pup would not fall. She would just be on the bed.

| "Praise" is an odd word to use for that situation. She could have accused you of "babying" her, & you could have said "you bet I am"!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | You weren't wrong. A lot of people don't realize how squirmy these little ones can be. I had Cali jump right out of my arms right after I got her and I have had yorkies for over 40 years. I always tell the vets when they go to take her that she is a jumper and they always appreciate it. Just think how terrible you would both feel if she squirmed out of your Aunt's arm and got hurt. Several people on here have had thee babies jump/fall and break a leg. You are her protector.

| How about having your aunt sit down and then old the puppy? Your not wrong many puppies have been dropped and had serious issues.

| I don't think you are wrong at all. Your Aunt just needs to get over it. Ask her if she willing to pay all the Vet bills if she drops your baby and injures her.

| I completely understand how you felt. I was very careful who held Pixie and not many people did. I still don't people hold her bc she will jump out of their arms except for when I hold her.
