Linda sent me home with bags of toys, blankies, potty pads, some food for the first couple of days. When I returned her, I brought her things and included a box full of things I had bought for her. I didn't want to return anything to Petco or Superpets, because they were for her. When we arrived, I couldn't think of anything but my baby girl, so I left my husband to bring everything in. I only carried Carmella...wrapped in a soft blankie (she seemed to do better in the car that way) and I passed her to her mommy. When we got ready to leave, everything appeared to be on the table when we left.
When we arrived back home, I found a little bag in the back seat. Inside were the items she loved most that I had in her bed. Her favorite toys and her little blankie that lined her bed. It made me cry all over again as I packed those things to ship back today.
I get it now. These Yorkies are like family, like little babies, they need our love and attention. I wonder how long it will take for me to get back to my old routine. I can't stop thinking of her as I walk through the rooms she enjoyed. I do think of her when I brought her back to her birth home, running with her doggie family at Linda's, and it makes me smile. |
