I think of you often, and can't imagine the hurt I know you must still be feeling.
My feeling is that your precious Minnie was sending you a message. The right furbaby may just find you one of these days when you least expect it, and you will have her name all ready.
But more than that, I would guess that you will come across a furbaby with that name, and know without a doubt that she is the one for you...and that Minnie is the one who helped you know.
Minnie
BTW, did the Yorkie your husband found have a name already?
