[QUOTE=Laura's Babies]
I have noticed and am wondering if anyone else feels like this... But I am usually ready to respond and try to offer my advice on any topic I know about or have had experience with... If I don't have any, I try to offer a comforting word.. But when it is MY OWN babies, I forget everything I ever knew, panic, become a basket case and typically loose it. That is why I am so glad that I "belong" here.


I CAN RELATE TO THIS! I CAN RELATE TO THIS! I think it is because we are so emotionally involved with them. For example, had that been my own cat on the road the other night, I think I might have been a gibbering wreck unable to think straight or do anything constructive! I get all weepy just in a vet consultation for a check up!(hide it of course but have trouble keeping voice steady and chin from quivering).
