Hi!
I understand totally what you are saying/feeling. I lost my sweet Annie B. suddenly last March. Within a week, with very little effort at all, Gracie Ruth came flying into my life. I thought it was maybe too soon also, but I couldn't ignore all the things that happened 'just right' to bring us together. I loved her from the very first minute, but there wasn't the connection that I had with Annie. Annie was my attached at the hip, sweet Princess girl. She didn't care what we did as long as we did it together. Gracie Ruth, ahh silly sweet little G, is a totally independent, I can do it myself, tomboy.
It was hard at first, but now it's been almost a year and let me tell you we are very connected. Still not like Annie, but in our own unique to each other way, we are connected. Did I get her too soon, probably, would I regret - knowing her now as I do - not getting her, absolutely!! I know now that I was holding back my heart some in the beginning because of the tragic lost of Annie and I didn't want to fall in love with G and have that pain come back again so soon if something happened to her.
So don't feel bad if you don't feel connect to Abby as you did to Kayla. Just keep loving her, and value her for the special qualities that she brings. The connection will come when your heart can open up a little more and let her in. Post some pictures when you can and feel free to post about either of them as often as you want. There are sooooo many people here that have been there and can understand. We all are quiet Yorkie crazy, and understand that they are not 'just a dog' but our kids.
