 Just lost my Yorkie- Ricki
Hi everyone, I stumbled across this site because my yorkie recently passed away. He was a little over 8 years old. He had gotten out and after 2 days of searching and knocking on doors I received a phone call that my neighbor had found my baby in her pool. Its hard for me to except this, we have a pool and Ricki loved the water. Although we have a saftly cover installed on our pool and Ricki has a life vest he wears in the summer. We also trained him to swim to our stairs in the pool. I'm so angry at myself. I really thought that some little old lady had him and was loving on him and maybe didn't see my posts online.
I never expected to get the call I got.
We have 4 kids 14, 11, and 2 year old twin girls. We have had Ricki since my older daughter was the age that my twins are now. Ricki loved all of so much and he knew I was pregnant before I did. We used to joke that he hatched my twins, he always had to be on my belly. When the girls came home they were his babies. For such a little dog he has such a big heart. He never knew his size.
When we got the call we rushed over to get him. The twins wers so excited, but they didn't understand why they couldnt love on him. When we took him to the vet thet knew he was in the box, so when we left him therd they screamed for him crying his name. Even now they will go to the window or on our front porch and call for him like they are waiting for him to just home. It already so hard on me. It just breaks my heart even more.
Looking back, losing Ricki is like losing a child for us. He is in almost every photo somewhere
I'm not sure I will ever adopt another yorkie. But we all miss him so much. The reason I f2f ound this site is that I was trying to find his breeder. I got him from a lady named Deanna. And I read she is a broker that people have had an bad experience's with her. We got a wonderful puppy, she said he came from a neighbor that moved out of state. I don't know if that's true or if he came from someone local and I was just the highest bidder. But I'd like to find a puppy that is like our Ricki. If my pictures look like your puppys please contact me. Even if we don't adopt. I'd like to find out more about him.
Thank you fof reading this.
