I am so sorry that you have lost your sweet Sophie. How difficult for all of you and your dear older yorkie.

My brother has a golden, when we go there to visit my little 3 1/2 lb Roxy bosses him around. He is so peaceful & has 2 toddlers crawling all over him. But I do watch how they interact. I think these dogs who are bred to hunt in anyway, can react in a different way to these tiny dogs - their natural instincts can kick in. I was recently vacationing in Florida & went to the doggie beach - where everyone is running loose. I really had to watch the reaction of my 2 yorkies around the other dogs - several times I scooped them up when their fear seemed evident -- I believe they can sense so much - and I knew I was better off overacting, as the owner of a big dog tells me, 'oh, he loves little dogs, etc. etc' - my 1st job is to protect my 2.

I pray that you will find peace and not blame yourself. Continue to come to YT - here you will find true friendship
