Peace has been lost
The family is back from Peru - and even though I missed them terribly I really miss it being just J and I!We don't have the privacy we had before.. we don't have things the way we like it.. critism (that I'm sure was meant to be constructive) has already begun about the way we choose to do things.
An example of this is with my puppy. He has skin allergies and scratches till he bleeds and as a result has some patches of hair missing and can have scabs (sounds terrible I know!). We've taken him to the vet about this and their solution is to shoot him full of steriods and give him medication. That was a short term fix that only lasted temporarily and we don't want to have to give our puppy cocntinual steriod shots as it is so bad for him, effects his body and not to mention his little liver! We have been looking into natural alternatives to combat his skin allergies and for the most part they're working. They aren't a quick fix and they take time but it is making his body, not to mention his skin more healthy and is 100 times better for him. It may take a little longer than shooting him full of drugs but at least it doesn't harm his body and is a much more holistic approach.
The family is already making comments about how terrible we are for letting him suffer and that we should take him back to the vet to get shots. Isn't it our choice how we look after our puppy?! I'm certianly not heartless and we are doing a great deal to make him better.. but we are doing it the way we want to do it.
The family do have the best intentions but it can be a little hurtful to be attacked about the way we care for our dog.
How can you not love him?? Look at him!
