Hello. I am pretty new to this site. I joined at the end of January. I have read many, many posts here and am almost jealous. Most people seem to know one another pretty well. I hope I am able to get to know alot of you . You all seem to be very caring, knowledgable and just a great group of people.
I have had 3 Yorkies in the last 30 years. My first one, Misty, lived to be 16 years old. My second one, Kayla, lived to be almost 14. I lost her last July 15th. I was so heart broken. She was the light of my life and tugged harder at my heartstrings than any other. She was tiny and so precious. I still miss her so much. Well I got my third one, Abby, this past Nov. and she is such a tomboy. Nothing at all like my little Kayla. I feel kind of bad saying this but I think I may have gotten another dog a little sooner than I should have. It just seems as though I don't have that same connection with Abby as I did with Kayla. I was very protctive of Kayla especially the last couple of years of her life. She lost her eyesight a couple of years before she died and then she was pretty sick about the last month of her life. I feel bad that I don't feel as close to Abby as I should. Please don't think I'm a terrible person for that. I just don't know if that's normal. I waited longer between my first and second dog and perhaps I should have waited longer this time also. Please don't get me wrong. I do love her it's just not the same. Unfortunatley I don't have children so my dogs have always been my "kids".
Sorry this is so lenghthy.
I'm so happy I found this site. I'm hoping someone understands this. |
