| Yes. I was with Muffin and I am with Kacee, too. They are helpless, so someone needs to watch over them very closely. They depend upon us to protect them. They trust us to do so.

| Oh yeah! Although they're so little they need protecting. Maybe we're all just diligently protective- not over protective. Just giving our babies what they need and deserve.

| Both my husband and i are over protective. They can't fend for themselves, so we do it for them. They trust us, and depend on us.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Extremely! Since Cali was so sick as a puppy I am overprotective. Also, it seems like every time I do let go a little and take her out she gets sick!

| My response to the thread was No. not at all, I let them be dogs but that needs to be qualified. I do pet and spoil them and protect them when they need to be protected. However, I DO allow them to be dogs -- they get to do fun stuff like roll in horse poop, and go to the barn and chase the barn kitties.... But on the other hand, I am obsessive about making sure that they eat enough, and are protected from things that will harm them..... |

| When Mini was a baby alot more so ..folks just did'nt know how wiggly she was and would not look out for her if she was on the ground so I was always running behind her to keep her safe , now haha I won't let anything hurt her but let her find her way lol like walking on stones near water ect .. I know she'll be allright and I am nearby .

| My parents always bust my chops about what not to feed Baby. So my dad always says, "I gave her a little chocolate today." Kidding of course, or I'd have to beat his little hiney! LOL
