You are doing a great job and it sounds like you really have done your research on this. It truly does not sound like a vicious attack to me at all, how can it be when it was a puppy?! Go with your gut and with what feels right, that's all that Stormy would've have wanted of you! xxxxx

I don't want to bring another dog in until I know SHE is safe to have. This breeder had those hairless dogs with her bullies and never had a problem, she said that these bullies are just extremely strong and clumsy as pups and don't know their own strength. I don't want to rehome just yet, it would be devstating for my daughter to loose BOTH dogs. We will try to do what we can for her first because she really isn't a bad dog, and she isn't very hyper/active or agressive in any way.
The night that Stormy passed my mom laid her in the laundry basket on a towel, our bullie laid in that exact stop in the laundry basket for a few hours looking very sad, she doesn't even FIT in the laundry basket, so I know she knows her friend is gone and I know this wasn't done on purpose. The only thing i can see is to train this girl so she can be a safe companion and when the time comes to add another member we will shoot for a larger dog that isn't too tiny. I think once our dog matures she would be good, but of course we will probably go for a rescue/rehome adult instead of a small pup.
For now I can get my yorkie love from my moms yorkie, although she is NOTHING like my baby Stormy was, she still gives SOME kisses and hugs. I just hope one day I can get my "healthy" yorkie that will be with me for a longer time  |
