But, I do agree, once you have a yorkie in your life you can't do without! |
When my Annie died I cried uncontrollably and was a complete mess for days and couldn't eat, sleep or function. I then decided to take in a Yorkie rescue (in Annie's honour) and also found the first couple of days difficult because my new baby, Tika, didn't do things like Annie did (i.e. snuggle with me, behave like Annie etc.)
I kept telling myself that Annie would be happy to know that I offered another rescued dog a chance at a good life and within a few days Tika began to feel right. A new dog doesn't replace a lost one, but it directs your attention to loving a new creature and the pain of losing your old pet will subside a little bit as every day passes by.
My heart goes out to you in every way ...
