Dear Yapper,
I'm sorry to hear you had that scare with the little pup after what you are going through. I'm sure pups can yelp that and more without being hurt. They may yelp simply because they have got scared because they fell down, got stepped on or whatever and even sometimes they yelp when they anticipate something they fear. In your case, rest assured that as the store clerks told you, the pup was just being a little theatrical, simple because in was in her character to be like that.
I can imagine though how hard this little scare with the pup must have been on you. Please don't get negative feelings into you head, like I can't handle a puppy or something like that because that is simply not true. Puppies are so full of energy and esp. yorkie pups are so tiny they can't wiggle out of our hands any minute. Rubi, my younger one, slipped through my hands when she was two months and had some muscle pain on one of her legs for a week.
I hope the time will come when you'll be ready for another yorkie and I'm sure you're are going to be a great mom to him/her and you'll be posting his/her pics in the forum for us to see.
In the meantime, try and get as many puppy kisses as you can. It's been scientifically proven that stroking a dog helps reduce stress and tension. I know that the pain you feel for Mighty Mouse will take some time to go away. Just take each a day at a time and think that pain does not last forever, that there is always a happier, brighter future for us.
I wish you the best. May you heal soon.
