I had to take my kids to a birthday party today, and it was my first time away from Missy for longer than half an hour. After about an hour, I started to REALLY missed her! I just wanted to go home and see my baby. It feels really good to love a pet again. Summer 2007, I had to euthanize the Lab-cross I had rescued when I was a teenager. She was my heart and soul for 14.5 yrs, my bestest friend. I never thought that I could love another pet the way I had my Indy, but Missy has most certainly filled the hole in my heart. I just think it's so awesome when we can have such a strong bond with a pet.
As far as how my Missy's doing. She's 10 weeks old now and 1lb 6 ozs. She's finally off the Nutracal. It's been 3 days without. I just have to be sure to feed her some soft food mixed with kibble in the morning to get her appetite going, then she'll nibble on her kibbel all day long. There was one night last week where she cried quite a bit throughout the night. I kept cuddling her, then putting her back in her xpen. She must've had a tummyache that night or something, because she's been sleeping through the night ever since! I tried letting her sleep with me last night and she didn't want to! She wanted her kennel/xpen in the kitchen, little Miss Independant. I am so proud of her, she will race through the house to get to her pee pad. The bribery of Cheerios really helps. She loves having her teeth brushed, and she's getting use to being brushed finally
Anyways, thanks for letting me share. It's nice to have people to Yorkie talk with. I'm sure my family and friends are getting sick of hearing it
