 So Glad You Are Here!
Hi kathy
It is so nice to have you here on YT with all of us Yorkie crazy people! The day that I found this site, I gained so many loving friends. I can't go a single day without spending time here , reading, talking , learning, sharing. I have learned so much here, cried a million tears here, laughed here, and received so much comfort being a part of YT.
I understand the pain you went through , losing your husband and then your beloved Gidget. I too lost my husband (8) yrs ago to a sudden heart attack. He was only 43 yrs old. The shock and pain were unbearable. If it were not for The Lord I would have never made it through.
My husband bought me a tiny Schnauzer (12 yrs ago) as a Valentine's present. I named her Leipshen. Together we adored our Leipshen. When Jimmy (my husband) died, Leipshen mourned right along with myself and our children. She is now 12 yrs old. She is completely blind, and was recently diagnosed with Cushing's disease. She is a trooper though, still happy, and oh so loveable. The only comfort that I have, when thinking that her days are probably numbered, is that when she goes to Heaven, there will be a joyous reunion for Jimmy and Leipshen, oh how happy they will be to see each other again. I know she will be fine with The Lord and Jimmy until the day comes for me to join them.
I too have an adorable baby Yorkie named "Biscuit". I love him more than words can say. He is so wonderful to Leipshen. If I call Leipshen, he will run to her and guide her over to me. He will be my source of comfort, here on earth, when Leipshen is called to Heaven. I also will have the love and support from all of my friends here on YT, something I never forget to thank God for.
Welcome again...and thank you for sharing your touching story.
