I'm a bad mom

Leslie!! From one worrying mom to another, your dogs will be fine! If for no other reason, God will be looking over them because their mom is so wonderful and caring and loving.

I have a feeling deep down that they are perfectly fine and won't get heartworm. We will all be praying just in case. And you know how much those Pet Talk prayers work!!

Please Leslie don't blame yourself over this. Believe me you are NOT a bad mother. It could have happened to any of us.

Try not to worry to much. I know it's easier said than done.

Leslie, I enjoyed your vacation pics so much, and it looks like the kids had a great time, too! Only a truly fine furmom would be as concerned as you are - you are not a bad mom!!!!!! And please don't worry yourself sick - worry only makes bad things come true, I believe. It keeps you from being your wonderful self, and the pups will sense it and think something is supposedly reallly wrong when it isn't. Lots of PetTalkers here praying for you and the puppers!! Keep the Faith!!!

Leslie, you stop this silly talk, RIGHT NOW!!!

This is "us" you're talking to! There isn't a more devoted, loving, responsible furmom than you, Leslie!!! There isn't one among us, I'm sure that hasn't at one time or another, forgotten a heartworm pill or two. I'm sure the pups will be just fine! Stop beating yourself up, friend. You are worrying so much because you ARE such a terrific Mom!! Love, Sandra, Cody and Star***Shine!

You are not a bad mom, you are great mom for being so concerned. YOur dogs are lucky to have you. I would not worry if I were you. Did you know there is a shot that last for 6 months. That's what I do because I am afraid that I may forget too.
