........oh I felt just as you are now almost 2 years ago when my first litter (4 puppies) left with their new forever families. It is indeed a day of bittersweet emotions. I have been fortunate enough to stay in contact with 3 of the 4 via emails and pictures; even had a visit with one of them last December when the pup was a little over a year old. What a handsome boy he turned out to be and alot like his mama.
.........and now, in another couple of months I'll be going through it again when Halle & Toby's little boy Oscar finds his forever home. With him being a singleton, I wonder if it is possible to become even more attached to him because of it; making it even harder to say good-bye. But I feel as you do; the joy of helping someone else's dream of owning a yorkie does my heart good and as long as I know they are in good homes with loving families, I know we'll all be just fine. |
