I feel so guilty... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Dolyn · 10-17-2007, 03:52 PM

My husband is out of town for work this week and I'm sick. I feel like I'm completely neglecting my new puppy, Titan. I feel horrible keeping him in his play pen all day, but I just don't have the energy to take him for a walk much less play with him. I just wanted to vent to someone who might understand. I'm just feeling so guilty. He's just a pup and really wants to play and run around ALOT!!! Thanks for listening.

When my two were little I got terribly sick for a solid week

I just moved all of their toys and pen into the living room and slept on the couch - they could see me and hear me and when they wanted to cuddle I put them on the couch with me and they'd fall fast asleep

Great ideas. Thanks so much. I just hate not paying attention to him. Thanks again for all your thoughts.

My boys slept ALL the time until they were about 4 months old! So if I were sick they were perfect cuddlebugs to make me feel warm, loved and better

they really are magic!

Hope you feel better soon!!

When I was sick and after I had my surgery, Jake was just a pup and I moved his toys in the living room, and he was happy to just play right by me. If he needed a snuggle, I'd put him on the couch with me and nap with him. He was an awesome companion to me!

Hope you feel better soon and like others said let him snuggle with you part of the day!!

They really are the best at providing TLC... i've been sick since saturday and Belle just lays on the bed with me and cuddles... i heard someone once say that happiness is the warmth of a puppy... and it really is, these furbabies are so loyal and loving, you'll feel better just by having him cuddle with you
