I have had my yorkie, Matise since Saturday November 27, 2004. Getting a new dog was something I had wanted to do for a long time, especially since I knew that my cocker Alex was getting older. She was 12 Years old. I knew it would be very hard for me to get a new dog after she passed so I wanted to get one before. For the most of the beginning of 2004 we had actively looked for a new dog. Then Memorial Day weekend Alex got sick and later that week she passed over to Rainbow Bridge. This began a very dark period of my life. I wasn’t sure I would or could ever recover. I wasn’t sure that I wanted another dog, especially since my heart was so broken. We had occasionally from time to time gone to look at puppies but it just didn’t feel right. Then one Saturday afternoon we saw an add in the newspaper and decided to go look at the puppies. I was so numb but when I saw that little furball running around the lady’s house something just clicked. We knew he was meant for us. In the car on the way home I started to cry, both tears of happiness for my little Matise and tears of sadness for my little Alex. For the first couple of months my heart was so guarded. I knew that this little furball was growing on me but it was hard to love again. It was like he was gluing my heart back together piece by piece. The love I feel for Matise is a different kind of love then I felt for Alex but I feel that Matise has put the pieces of my heart back together. I will always deeply miss my Alex and still do every single day. While there will always be cracks in my heart, Matise has put the pieces of my heart back together, a feat I thought could not be done. I love him so much now that it is so hard for me to leave him when I go to places he cannot. The highlight of my day is being with him. This is what I know now as the healing power of a Yorkie’s love.
