Thank you everyone for your kind words and condolences. This little dog was so much more then that. He changed me for the better. He gave back so much more then I could have possibly given him. And yes, as someone mentioned, he was loved by all! There where several at the nursing home I started frequenting with him that weren't responsive to much at all, but little Benji would put a smile on their lonely faces. He just had a special way of touching hearts, but none more so then my own. And right now my heart is just shattered. My poor Aiyana is taking it just as hard, she won't eat, she won't drink, I took her to the vet today and got her on some appetite stimulants that we're hoping help snap her out of it, but in many ways, that little guy was more her dog then my dog. Aiyana isn't your average dog, I barely see her as a dog because she refuses to act like one LOL She adored Benji, she'd bring me his brush every night, help me bathe him, clean his ears, she just doted on him. But somehow we'll get through this together, some day they'll be another little Yorkie in our lives. But this is such a horrible shock, it's going to take me time before I can bare the idea of bringing another Yorkie into this house. No dog could ever possibly replace Benji, but I do know I'll eventually get another Yorkie - Not to replace him, but to honor him, and continue where he left off as a therapy dog. But not now. Right now I just need some time to grieve my special little man!
