Maybe I didn't type it right, but Ginger was only 19 months old; not 19 years. Yes, Buster (Ginger's male litter mate) is acting a littled depressed today. They used to play & wrestle all the time. Now, he is cozy up to our Maine Coon Cat (Tiger), looking for companionship we guess. I took 11 days off from work and my vacation comes to end this Monday. Not the way I planned my last few days.
The vet did mention arrithymia happening to her heart in the last few minutes of her life. She was a Type A personality; could jump like a pogo stick, always pulling at the lead. Buster is more come and relaxed. Thanks again to all the posters here on Yorkie Talk.
Now, my wife and I need some advice. We have been dog owners all our lives: cocker spaniels, Tzu, bassett hound, german shepards. We have almost always had 2 dogs in the house at the same time. We love the mid size Yorkie breed (7-10 pounds at adulthood). Buster weighs 7 lbs; Ginger was 8 lbs. Tea-cup Yorkie is not for us. The question is how or even if we should get similar Yorkie for our house ? Would Buster accept this ? Does anybody have experience introducing a Yorkie into the "pack" ? Yes, we are still grieving and won't make any snap decision's for a few months at least. |
