When Rio passed away 3 days after her babies were born, My sweet Courtney took the babies in as her own and fed and nutured them. It has truly been a miracle for me to watch this and be a part of this. I miss my girl terribly and probably always will. She was a SPECIAL yorkie who came to live with me and my family all the way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, hence the name "Rio" was born...
She was my heart. I became really good friends with her breeder, Karenene very early on when Rio was a baby. I hope to travel to her city in Brazil in late 2006-early 2007 and visit with her and her yorkies (Rio's family  ) and to maybe bring another baby home with me.
My girl Rio touched my heart in a place it's never been touched, and she made every day a joy in my life. I love all of my precious yorkies, but Rio had a personality that was almost "human like". We are seeing this start to repeat itself in her daughter "Bridgit". Rio wasn't perfect, but she sure was perfect in my eyes!  This is her..."just being a yorkie" and "posing for me!" |
Robbie,
You are such a special person. Through this tradedy, you have really touched my heart and I'm sure many others. Thank you for sharing like this and letting all of us in on something that is so hard on you. I can only say Thank you again and keep us updated on those beautiful babies!

this is for you Rio!
Michele
