Hello all,
First an apology for not being back sooner, the last few weeks have been so hard, but I must thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and thoughts, and also for those who have requested me as a friend, and to Susan who put the most touching poem on my profile page, Im truly truly touched, thank you so much.
What a wonderful forum you have here, as I said in an earlier post, I only wish I had known about it when my darling Spike was alive.
We picked up Spikes ashes last friday, which has given me enormous comfort to know that he is back home where he belongs. As the days go by the tears are becoming less frequent as I go on with life as we have to, but the pain inside is heartbreaking, my arms actually ache for him, and I still find myself looking around for him when I walk to the kitchen or wake up in the morning and he is not on the pillow next to me as he had been for so many years.
My daughter and I were talking about a new fur baby the other night, as she says she hates the thought of leaving University, (we are from the UK and she is hoping to move to the States to work) and leaving me on my own. I think like me she thought Spike would live forever and would always be my companion, but as she has another term to go, for now, for me, its just not the right time.
One thing for sure that I do know is that regardless of its a new puppy, an older dog, or a rescue dog, that it will be a Yorkie, of that there is no doubt.
Nothing can replace Spike, but I know that never having another Yorkie again is not an option, I just need to feel a litttle stronger than I do now, and then hopefully I can come back on here and join in with your community on a daily basis.
Im still finding my way around right now, so forgive me any mistakes or posts I may miss, but Im sure I will soon get the hang of it.
Thank you, thank you all, for taking the time to read my thread and all the lovely replys, it has really helped and means such a lot to me.
Sue
