I have no connection other than stated before with Tiger Kennel, only dealt with previous owner.
Sorry about your loss, I too have lost yorkies. I had Betsy for two weeks when she was taken by a coyote, believe me, I can understand your loss.
My Ezy at age 12 had to be put down because the specialist Dr. failed to warn me about the steroids he prescribed and did not cut back until too late. I lost 4 yr old Havasu when he was given motion sickness pills and his liver could not take it. Its so sad they have short lives, they are so special to me and my husband. Copied off the internet......

If I Didn't Have a Dog

I could walk around the yard barefoot and in safety.
My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.
When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like a kennel and I could get to the door without
wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how
much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
I would have money .....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand kids through college.
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.
My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.
My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.
I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T,
B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E
I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.
I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season.
I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who
will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as
close to an angel as they will ever get.
How EMPTY my life would be!
