When we had Toffee we had chow chows, and that was fine. When they went to heaven, we just kept her as 'an only child'! When she went up to heaven it was devastating because she was my baby. I now have my Mr. Darcy (the light of my life!) and I
am getting another Yorkie baby girl this Spring - I am looking now. I don't know if I am right or not, but having one to comfort you if you lose one seems a little better than a house so quiet that you don't even want to be in there.....Mr. Darcy is alone in the summer when I work, and I want him to have a companion!!
