In 2008 my husband was battling throat cancer, and one day when he went in for chemotherapy, a woman came in for chemo with a big bag with an adorable Yorkie puppy in it. They told her she could not have the pup with her for chemo, and tried to get her to reschedule. I jumped up and offered to watch the pup outside for the hour while she got chemo. I absolutely fell in love with little Bruno, and couldn't get him off my mind, even though I had 2 mini Schnauzers at home.
About 2 months later my 8 yr. old Schnauzer girl died, unexpectedly, and I was devastated. I started looking for another pup immediately, and found my Yorkie Tiki, and put a deposit on her but had to wait another 2 months to get her. We immediately fell in love with her, and decided to get another 3 months later. When we were unable to find another Yorkie (they are very hard to get in Hawaii), we got our Morkie, Meika. The 2 brought so much joy to our lives at a very hard time. I became addicted... and after my husband passed away, I added 2 more pups to my pack.
They have helped me face the hardest times of my life, and always make me smile. I cannot imagine life without my 4 furgirls. |
