Making time for furkids with the new baby here, tips? As far as my Terrier What am I

How unfortunate that not only I, but others, too, write to RELIEVE your anxieties, and all you take away from it is that I mentioned PPD? A very real, very common condition?

If you prefer, stress away. Stress to the point where your baby is stressed. Stress to the point where you give up your two dogs. Stress to the point where you cry all day long. Stress about allergies, stress about your neighbor's dogs barking....go on a pure stress fess!

If you prefer, I will tell you that what you post is so rare and uncommon, that I have never heard of it, and you should go- at once- to the doctor. Something is so seriously wrong.

As I mentioned, you will look at these posts and laugh in 3 months time. Truly, it is a better way to look at it. But, please, stress away. It makes no never mind to me.

I just don't know how anyone could be so rude, well I'm done with this , I only really came on here to find out what my dogs breed was anyway.

And why the hell would I give up my dogs? Seriously.

and yes PPD is a very real very serious condition, my friend had it and it went untreated for many months and it was a very terrible thing. So I don't know you but I don't think you are really qualified to bring that up unless you are a shrink.

And I don't have it, no trouble bonding with my child.....the bonding problem is with the dog.

Plus even if it is nothing atleast I got to vent and complain about it.

I'm kind of insulted though, I didn't come here to get analyzed. Just because I had a baby doesn't mean squat in the scenario other than things have changed. I was just bored so I came on here to see what people would say, you know thinking I would get some helpful advice on how to fix the problem with the dog (you know training tools, things to reference)

WOW... take a chill mom..

I too am a mom.. and what was suggested/adviced, etc.. is nothing to get upset for..

your reaction shows nothing but stress build up.. IT´s NORMAL... just take a deep breath and try relax.. nothing said was rude at all.. just stuff we´ve all been trough already.. some more than others but still.. we UNDERSTAND.. and wht we try is to give a heads up so you can relate and relax as what you´re going through is plain normal..

Sweetheart you have been given some sound advice from people who have been there and can recognise what you are going through.

I remember being totally lost when I had my Katie and it took a while for things to settle down. I hate to say it but your hormones will be all over the place (that's how it happens and its not a judgement on you as a person or a mother) - any woman who has had a baby will tell you. Its not a criticism to say you seem overwhelmed - its a natural reaction but if the stress gets too much then maybe you should talk to your doctor. Again, this is not a criticism of you - every new mum feels how you do, very few sail through it.

You really don't have a bonding problem with your dog - things just aren't the way they used to be - out of the two of you its her that has adjusted to the new situation during the time you had to rest and from then on.

Your reaction to the other posts clearly shows the amount of stress you are under - we only wanted to help
