I lost my little boy last March to cancer. He was 13 years old and I never thought I could love a dog as much as I did. When I had to make the decision to put him asleep it was the hardest decision I ever made. The vet said that I would know when it was time to let him go and he was right. He was fine one day and the next he was very sick and was just laying there looking and watching me with his beautiful brown eyes. I brought him to the vets and he told me what I already knew but I just couldn't let him go yet. I asked him to just give him a shot for pain and I brought him home. I held him and talked to him but he just kept watching me and didn't nap at all. By late afternoon I brought him back to the vets and I knew I had to let him go. I held him and he passed on even before the injection was finished. I cried for months for that little boy and finally decided I needed another little yorkie to love. In July my little Piper came into life. Even though a little piece of my heart will always be with my baby boy my new little girl has wiggled her way right in. I found I can love her as much as I did him and she brings me just as much joy.
