Do I sound like I spoil my dog a lot? Am I too strict?
Hello. =]
I have a Mini-Toy Yorkshire Terrier. (I do not call her a "Teacup" as some would say. Besides, her size is basically a mini version of the Toy Yorkshire Terrier.)
She gets Thanksgiving, Birthday, Christmas, etc. food, like my family and I do, but it is (Obviously) for dogs.
She does some modeling with me.
She eats her food and drinks her water on my lap on a rocking chair, after breakfast and dinner.
I have outfits for her. Swimsuits, Ballgowns, Sleepies (What I call Doggie Pajamas), Slippers, Booties, Hats, Sunglasses, Bows, Necklaces, Handkerchiefs, Sports Wear, Casual Wear, and next year I am planning to make a "Mommy and Doggie" clothing line just for us.
She is allowed to sleep where ever she wishes.
She has a "Snoozer Corner" in a corner of my bedroom. ('Snoozer' for bedroom.) It is her Crate with her Bed in it, along with a Midnight snack and a tiny bowl of water. She has small-sized posters of her favorite bands and singers.
When we travel, I take her on as a Carry-On if we go by plane. (That is allowed.)
Her and I exercise together. But for her being so tiny, I take her leash and the purse she is carried in during Fair Time, School Plays, etc. in case she wishes to stop jogging and be carried.
She is polite.
She gets pictures with Santa and the Easter Bunny.
Does this sound as though I spoil her?
I do not let her eat carbs after Six Thirty.
I do not let her near dogs much bigger than her unless she is familiar with them and she is comfortable near them, and if I trust the dog around smaller dogs.
I do not let her get groomed at Pet Smart.
Do I sound too strict?
How am I self-absorbed if I care what others think or believe?
Self-absorbed mothers will not care for their children like I do. No matter if their children have skin, fur, feathers, or scales!
@angel
Thanks for not calling me a loon or calling me self-centered/selfish like the ones above you.
Actually, she chooses to be in her crate or not at night. I have a little gate around the crate. (I would NEVER put her food and water in the crate together! That creats a big mess. My dog hates that!)
Just if she wants to be out of the crate. =]
