of my Dad......he was very much like you, a kind sweet man....that loved all the dogs that were brought into our home......he was a Dad of 7, 4 that were not his biological kids and 3 that were. And 4 dogs, all at different times in our life......I remember the care that he took of all the dogs.....when all of us had grown up and moved out...he had his Yorkies....and two poodles.....and they were his focus.....Mom tended to be too busy and Dad loved to stay home with the pups....LOL......they all got special care, food and would lay with Dad in the bed or his favorite chair....when each one passed on due to old age....he cried......and he buried them by the window with a cross....in the most pretty casket he could find.....velvet....or satin....or lace, nothing was too good for his best friends.....and he cried.....it broke my sweet little Dad's heart to loose his friends....but, now that Dad is gone.....I know in my heart that he has a lot of company up there.....and that they all are getting their nightly cup of ice cream......
Your sweet little post made me think so much of my Dad...and how much I miss him and his pups......and you too will grieve like my Pop did.....and I am so happy that you came here to grieve with all of us.....
God bless you and maybe someday you can find a spot in your heart for another Yorkie friend....
