| Now I'm scared Well...it might sound stupid...but after reading about many people who lost their yorkies, even when they were babies it gets even worse... I lost my holland lop a few weeks ago... I was really attached to him and it was a wrong diagnosis, the vet kept on saying he's fine although he had some difficulties breathing and he was sneezing from time to time /I had him for 8 months/ apart from this he was perfectly fine... so after a few check ups at the vet in the last months I had him, he died in agony in my hands...suddenly...a horror movie for 5 minutes which started from nothing NOW I'M TERRIFIED from getting a new pet and.... eventually losing it I still don't have my yorkie, I'm expecting it to be born these days.... and now I'm not sure...although I wanted to have a dog my whole life.... I really want this dog, it made my day, even my weeks when my mum said she's getting me a yorkie It really bothers me, although I care more about the animals' good than mine....my bunny was always first to get all the best, I was thinking about him and his needs more than about my own.... What do u suggest? Shall I risk and take a yorkie as I planned I'm scared that I'm gonna do something wrong from trying too hard to provide and fix everything needed for my new little baby...or god knows what |

| dianne I know where you are coming from.I have been waiting for a few weeks with great excitment to get my new fur baby. She is having a vet check today and all going well i should be able to get her tomorrow.hopefully Ive posted quite a bit since i joined but i was going to start my new thread when i got her but im in a bit of a downer today as ive read about sparky and the poor little dog lost off the boat.I fell its wrong to be so happy when alot of our yorkie mums are in so much pain. But my advice to you is go a head like me and get your yorkie.ther is no garranties about any thing in life and just enjoy every waking moment with him/her.Its scary i know but i couldn't imagine not having a dog in my life.aaaaaaaand i would be alot more miserable without one. Keep us posted about your fur baby good luck dianne |

| Hi tsveta. I am sorry about your lop, It shows you loved him dearly. I hope that you might be able to put your fears aside in hopes of finding a new pet/Yorkie. If all of us opted not to take part in something we dream of in pets to share our life with due to, "I'm scared that I'm gonna do something wrong from trying too hard to provide and fix everything needed for my new little baby...or god knows what" then there would be plently of us who miss out on sharing something wonderful in life with a pet. Yorkie's are such wonderful fur babies!!!! Since you asked for our suggestions, i would suggest taking time to remember your lop and then researching all you can about a Yorkie to see if this would be the perfect fur baby pet for you to share your life with. Im guessing you will fall in love with the breed as much as all of us here have.

| Oh, sweetie. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your lop. My grand daughter has one and she really loves him. But, (you can find my age in the age poll) I have lived long enough to learn something..that is, if you feel even half good about getting a puppy (Yorkie or otherwise) then go for it. You might consider a less high maintainence puppy or one that has fewer possible genetic problems but it doesn't matter what you finally decide you will get. Make sure the baby comes from the best breeder you can ever find. Grieve for your bunny, BUT STAY OUT OF PET SHOPS! You are vulnerable and a puppy in a pet store will be really appealing to you. If you never love because you are afraid of heartbreak, your life will be less than it should be. |

| I am sorry to hear of your loss. I agree with Whispersmom2 that "If you never love because you are afraid of heartbreak, your life will be less than it should be." Unfortunately death is a part of life at this time...maybe in the future we can prevent that. Until then, you really don't live until you have loved. One thing in life you can count on is that your furbaby will love you forever! No matter if you've had a bad day, if you are grumpy, if someone has done you wrong, if you've gained weight, lost weight or whatever. They love you no matter what and they can get you through the toughest times imaginable. Don't sell yourself short, live and love your baby and your baby will return your love 100 fold.

| Oh bless your heart! You will do great with a new baby. You sound like a wonderful mom!! I am so sorry you lost your baby. Do you think a new vet may be in order? I understand your concern about having a new pup, but I am sure you have checked out the breeder and the pups parents and have made a good choice.

| Well, sometimes I fall in these dark moods like yesterday... now it's even worse /I started living on my own exactly when I got my lop, 8 months ago and especially that I spend long time at home ALONE/ I'm trying to get over it, but still keep his stuff, see his pictures on the shelves, feel him around me… and when I wake up in the morning, still sleepy think of getting his breakfast ready and the morning "affection" time before I start the day, but then I realize he’s gone…. My mum visited the breeder today and she's absolutely in love with all the yorkies there and the 3 new borns, one of which will be mine, she already left the deposit and took a lot of pictures of all the breeder’s dogs. So now all I can do is expect my departure to Bulgaria in 2 months and get the puppy home. Thank you for your support, it makes me feel better and more confident with the fact and it’s true that noone can predict things in life and refusing another pet because of fear would lead only to regret from not getting it and emptiness… Anyway, Whispersmom2 I did go to a pet store a week ago and I spent an hour entertaining 1 pug and 2 yorkies, I couldn’t get out of the store until my friends forced me to get in the car and leave.. but that made me want a puppy even more, feeling extremely useless and lonely. I already read a lot of things about yorkies and I think it’s the perfect dog for me, on top of this I always wanted a small dog to SPOIL and dedicate myself to it. Of course I want to “educate” myself more on taking care, possible problems and getting as much information as possible before I welcome the puppy in my home so that I’m completely prepared. The breeder recommended 3 books and my mum got them, she will send me one and the rest I’ll read when I go back to Bulgaria. Now I'm doing a research on vets in Dubai, because that is another MUST... |
