Two years ago I inherited my mother's yorkie.
She had gone a trip for a few weeks and came home very ill and placed in the hospital, she never came home.
The sad thing is that my step father had passed just 8 months before, so Maxine had that adjustment to go through. Then my mom passing in August, Maxine really grieved; she'd stand at the front gate and look down the street, waiting for her. It took Maxine awhile to come out of it, but she did attach herself to me and her adopted siblings.....It's been two years and Maxine is now a playful, happily adjusted 11 year old, that sleeps with us (something my mother never allowed her to do).
