ok I may not be the best to answer as I am a "NM" (neurotic mom), but especially when I cannot take him with me. (too cold/hot to be in car, which he does not mind waiting in) I definitely tailor some of my desires to fit his needs. But hey sometimes mommy needs an all day yoga workshop or needs to go make the money, etc. So I know I need to leave him for more than the usual 5-6 hours (which also rarely happens if I can help it) I either get someone to drop by or we have an enormous hike the next day (he loves that) or some other fun thing...I worry that I treat him too human but I love him to death so ...what to do? best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 7:50 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] How do you balance your busy life with your dogs?
Do you all ever feel guilty for not spending enough time with your dogs? I just cancelled a visit with friends tomorrow because I'll be gone a lot of the day Sunday too and just felt too guilty for being gone most of Saturday and Sunday... The dog has been out running at the beach with his dog walker all week ( he usually is just with her in the mornings, but this week he's been gone from 9-4pm'ish) and then I have been home every evening. Am I being neurotic about my dog? I feel like I could stand a break, but I also feel like, if I'm not going to be with my doggie as much as I can, why did I bother. Do any of you feel conflicted like this? Thanks A neurotic (?) mom. :) ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
