I am very sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts and how much you miss Barkley. It is because we love our forever loves so dearly that we want to open up our hearts again to another baby. It's the best way that we can honor our loved ones at the Rainbow Bridge. When you love someone so deeply, I don't think you ever get over the loss, but in time the pain lessens, and those sweet memories of times and the beautiful love shared bring such joy to the heart. I lost my sweet Ashley 2.5 years ago one month shy of her seventeenth birthday and her precious sisters Gracie and Kiwi a few years before her. We talk about them so often, and our hearts are so uplifted and filled from joy just thinking about them. Our lives were so empty for almost two years until Katie entered our home and our hearts this past May. She is not a replacement for our other little girls, but we love her more than I could ever express. She has made us come alive again, and we are so much happier because of Katie. She is loved for who she is, such a precious, loving, happy little girl with the most wonderful temperament, but Katie also reminds us of her sisters' antics and love. I hope that you one day will feel peace and that you will be able to share your heart again with another little one. I never thought I could love another dog like I loved my first Yorkie, but then Ashley came into our lives (and then Kiwi, Gracie, and now Katie), and each time our hearts expanded and completely fell head and heels in love with our new little forever love). Welcome to YorkieTalk, Ronnie. I hope you stay here and that one day in the future that we can share the joy of another little one in your life with you. |
