Default Light at the end of the tunnel - MAYBE?

The answer just might be yes but I am petrified.
A month ago my life has made a terrible turn. Unexpectedly and unexplainably, the life of my baby has come to a tragic end. My yorkie girl, Manya, has died from an acute aspiration pneumonia.

She was 7 months old. I only had her for 2.5. She was so full of energy and so happy all the time - yet, she got a pneumonia and died in three days. Nobody, not even a doctor who has been practicing for over 50 years, has seen something like that happening to a healthy puppy. There was no cold, no virus, no nothing. Then, one day, she started coughing and I immediately took her to the emergency room. She had water in her lungs and they put her on oxygen. I was there at all times and she became better. The doctors said that she will be fine. But she was not. She died at the hospital. I won't bore you with the details of the nightmare. They shall stay with me forever. Nobody will ever be able to replace her. She was the star.
I've never had a better child to love.

Life had no meaning for a while. My breeder and boyfriend talked me into getting another one. I did. Yesterday, I brought her over from Kentucky. She is 9 months - slightly more than my Manya was. On top of that, she is a spitting image of Manya. She looks at me sometimes and it is scary how identical she looks. Yet, she is no Manya. Manya's spunky personality and zest for life will never be replaced.

I took her in to give her a better home. I want to make sure, however, that there is no undergoing problem with her just to be on the safe side. Is it bad?

She has an open fontanel but it is tiny and I am not worried about that. I also think that she has a luxating patella, but I am not a doctor to say if it needs to be operated on or not with certainty. This is OK with me too because if she needs a corrective surgery - I have money and a desire to make her better. I just hope I will be able to adore her as much as I adored Manya. Right now, I love her with my head more than my heart. I am committed to her the way a parent can be committed to a sick foster child. I hope it will change. I am scheduled to have an appointment with my doctor on Thursday. There is only one thing that I will not be able to sustain - any underlying respiratory condition that can cause her to get sick with a pneumonia again. I just don't think I will survive another death of a puppy like that. I wonder if it's too selfish of me.

Here is my new baby girl. I went to a Kentucky yorkie show yesterday, and people were stopping me all over the place to say how gorgeous this baby is. I hope she finds happiness in my home.

Aww I'm so very sorry for the loss of your little girl. It's not easy to lost a beloved pet ... I know from first-hand experience. But your new baby will help your heart to heal and she'll give you so much love. All the best to you.

What a gorgeous new baby you have! I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Manya. Although Manya cannot and should not be replaced, I hope you find lot's of joy with your new baby. I'm glad you were strong enough to have another puppy in your life...I hear of so many people who say they can't have another pet after the loss of one....I find that sad because pet lovers have so much love to give to so many deserving animals. Again, congratulations...she's a beauty!

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your baby, Manya. I believe in time that your new pup will carve her own little nich in your heart. I know from experience that nothing can ever fill the hole left by a lost pet, but we have big hearts and you can love a new one just as much. Your new baby is gorgeous and I look forward to watching her grow and hearing all about her.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. It must be very hard on you. Could you post a picture of Manya. I bet she was a cute!

Your new little bundle will never replace Manya but she will carve a new spot in your heart just like she did. She will have her own special ways and you will love her just as much but differently. I have three and I love them all for themselves.

Where about in Chicago do you live? There are quite a few members from the Windy City that will love meeting you.

Good luck with the baby.

My heartfelt condolences to you. Your new furbaby is a very lucky little girl to have found such a caring and wonderful home with you. She is also gorgeous. She will never replace Mayan but I am sure it will not be long before she has her own heartstrings intertwined with yours. Wishing you nothing but the best in your new journey with your baby.

Your story is heart wrenching....I'm sorry for your loss of your beautiful baby. Especially hard when there is no warning...
This darling little angel you have now is a little doll!! Look at that face! Oh I could just eat her up! I hope she finds a way into your heart - she can never replace your Manya, but our hearts are big enough to love very deeply, all of our babies.

so sorry for your loss, and i give you all the hugs and thoughts in the world....

the nice thing is every yorkie is diffrent, they are an individual, and im sure in time you will love your new pup for what she is, and not try to compare her to your darling you lost, because she can't be replaced, she was her own personality.
