| trying to decide on a puppy. Hi, I haven't posted anything in a long time, but now i feel the need. I have recently lost my little girl to an accident and I miss her terribly, I cry when I think about her. I would like to get another little girl, but is it to soon, I'm not sure? I know nothing can replace her but I'm hoping to fill the emptiness in my heart. |

| I'm so sorry for your loss. I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago. We lost our sweet Peanut (12 yrs) on September 12 and just picked up our new little Winston on September 28. My line is I'd rather have kept Peanut a few more years; but that wasn't an option and his loss left such a void I needed to fill. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks--some people get a new baby immediately, some wait months or years, some never do. My friend waited 2 years after she lost her 15-year old Pom, and has since said she should not have waited so long. Best of luck to you, and you will certainly find great support here! |

| I don't think it could ever be too soon to get another! Personally I can't bear the thought of ever being without at least one. The house would feel so quiet and empty! I say go for it. You will love the new puppy no matter what, and still have a special place in your heart for your first little girl.

| Im so sorry for your loss :-( Personally I waited 2 1/2 years after my princess passed...it wasn't so much by choice but circumstances. I hear you on the void....and while its true our babies are never replaceable.....it really does heal your heart just a little bit. I still miss my Cassie just the same but Winnie does provide some good medicine. I agree with CozyPeanut......don't worry about what others think....timing is personal.....but this is a great place to research and possibly find an excellent reliable breeder to find your new baby. I wish you all the best!! |

| I am so sorry for your loss, but happy to hear that you may be ready to open you heart up again to another. It is never too soon to bring more joy into you life. However, do take the time to find a healthy pup from a good breeder so you will have a better chance of a long and happy healthy life together. At this very vulnerable time, and in pain, it is too easy to grab the first cute pup you see (and all pups certainly are adorable), but try to hold out and get a healthy one to avoid heartache in the future.

| Thank you for your support, I have been emailing and calling around and found one breeder here with a couple of litters coming up in the next few days. I am going to put a deposit down to guarantee a puppy from her. She has had yorkies for years so I'm hoping for a healthy little girl. |

Then my daughter went away to college, and two years later my son went away to college too. Maybe I called them too much... lol But half way through my son's first semester, they talked to each other and decided I needed another dog. They located the breeder on the other side of the state near my daughters university, and I got my ZoE. I don't know what I was thinking waiting so long! It sounds like you are ready to welcome another fur baby into your heart Best of luck in your search.

| I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been about 4-6 years since I last had yorkies (both of them past away within a year or two of each other). The jack russells we've had as well kept us occupied, so it was easier to wait a few years before I felt the strong urge for another and it was worth the wait. If you feel you are ready, then go for it. Your heart will know when the time is right and best.

| Go with your hearts feelings. I had to put my lil 17 y/o girl down Yesterday was one year ago, but it seems like it was just yesterday, the day I had to put he down is still so vivid in my mind. I swore NO MORE DOGS, I have lost so many, and it never gets easier. I have had dogs in my life for 40 + years, I didn't know if I could live without one, but I just cannot handle having to hold them in my arms, comfort and whisper to them that mommie loves you while a tech injects them and ends their lives, the pain in my heart is to over whelming. For 6 weeks all I did was cry. Then I received a call from my vet, the rescue team she works with had just bought in a surrendered 2 1/2 y/o old male yorkie, not an abused dog, she said there was something about him that reminded her of my Matese, she told her staff "this is Joan's dog, get her on the phone" I did not want a dog let alone a male. Long story short. I went the next day just to see the dog, knowing I would not take him, I went only because my vet thought of me when she saw him, I didn't want my vet to think I was ungrateful so for her I went, thinking / knowing I was safe. Well he came home with me. He made my lonely house a home again. I was in a very, very dark place when I lost my sweet lil girl, my Cody lit up my world and filled that hole in my heart. Get that baby, fill that void, it's not a matter of what ppl will say, it's you and the love you have to give to a lil baby that needs you as much as you need him. I have NEVER compared one dog to another, they have their own personalities, no 2 are the same, you will love this new one for who he is. GO FOR IT. Then come back and let us know all about the new love in your life.

| Would you consider a rescue, or a senior? Puppies are adorable, but I can tell you from experience there is nothing like taking in a dog who desperately needs you to help fill the void in your heart. |

| I'm so sorry for your loss but very happy for you that you'll have a new little one in your life very soon! We lost our 3 year old Yorkie Sprite at the end of June after a devastating illness. I also cried a lot and miss her so much. I saved all her little things, and they help me to keep her close in spirit but also give me hope that one day I'll have another Yorkie to love. There is no right time to find a new companion, when you're ready you just know. Our cocker spaniel has just been diagnosed with cancer, so this isn't the right time for us, but there is definitely another little Yorkie (puppy or rescue) somewhere in my future.

| I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. It is a very personal decision and I say go for it if you have room in your heart, mind and soul to love another. As long as you are ready then there is a little love bug out there somewhere waiting on you!

| I haven't posted in a long time either. First of all , I'm sorry for your loss. Although another puppy will never replace the furbaby you lost, a new pup will bring you happiness. I got my yorkie over two years ago because my other dog is getting older. Although Khloe would never replace my older dog, Kirby I know I wont be as lonely when that sad day comes. Right now I still have both my girls. They are both totally different and totally wonderful. They are just like children one will never replace the other but each will have their special place in your heart. |

YT 2000 Club Member | dog I have this little wooden block that says, "All you need is love and a dog." It is so true. You need a dog. I need a dog. When my Teddy Peanut passed I went out and got another Yorkie, JoJo. I have one other but I like having two. You should go get a dog. I would not be without a dog, they bring so much love and faithfulness. Make sure you get the one you want which means you may have to wait a little while and look. You will get a fur friend that you will love and you will be happy in your heart as you remember your sweet one that is romping at that rainbow bridge waiting for you. |
