How touching and how close to home your thread hit me...
I first got yorkies 20 years ago... took in a couple rescues...and then got a female and had one litter of babies..my first of my dreams.. well two were born with cleft pallet and died day 6 and day 7.. so I kept the little boy... omg.. I loved him, he became my life, my breath, my world, and 5 years ago now I took him to my vet at the time.. and said he needs his shots we are going to florida for the winter.. that day he told me what a wonderful yorkie he was and how he has such perfect teeth for a 5 year old.. well the year before the vet gave him his shots.. and he had a reaction to it.. yup this year after he did not look at his tiny chart.. and he gave him the same shot.. it killed my baby... and part of me died that day.. I screamed and I cried and I yelled for him not to leave me.. to no avail... I will never forget that day...
I had just gotten kacee months prior to this.. never knowing really why I got him... but when pepsie died... and kacee and I were in florida, with old sassie.. pepsie's mom.. I looked at him one day and said omg.. I think you came from heaven.. for pepsie trained you just the way he wanted to.. and today I look at my kacee and think... some one was looking after me.. two years ago we had to have sassie put down.. as long as I had her I had part of my pepsie...
I just got a new male.. yes finally I named him pepsie... he is 4 months old and weighs 2.11 pounds...
