Hello every one, I "think" I should have introduced myself on Feb.15 when I registered,
sorry, better late then never, no?
About me, I have had females yorkies for over 30 yrs, the last of my brood I had to put down on Oct, 1, 2013 at the age of 16 y/o. I swore NO MORE FURBABIES for me.to over whelming, to painful when they leave you and go to rainbow bridge. I donated every thing dog related to my local no kill shelter. It took 3 trips in a pick up truck, I had so much from my previous babies and my little girl that I had just put down, toys, leashes, harnesses, sweaters, coats, food, 5 foot kiddie pool, you name it, I had it. For 3 weeks I cried, my house felt so empty, I was so lonely, I knew with time the pain would ease up, I could not drive my car, I was a hazard on the road, my mind would drift back to the day I received the call from my vet saying to come and say my last goodbyes, I had to put her down, I would start to cry, had to pull off the road, so I just didn't drive unless it as absolutely necessary. 3 weeks after putting my sweet girl down I received a call, my son died in his sleep, heart attach, he was not sick, nor did he have a heart condition, he was 50 y/o, in shock and in a foggy daze I took care of laying my son to rest I could not believe in 3 weeks I lost two loves in my life, very, very over whelming. 3 weeks after loosing my son my vet called me, they had just rescued a 2 y/o male, neutered, micro chipped, house broken yorkie, it was a surrender dog, not an abused dog, I thanked my vet for thinking of me, but I swore no more dogs, and I would not take a male dog because they mark everything. My vet said not necessarily, it depends on the dog. She said please just come look at him, she said there's something about him that reminds me of your little girl. Out of respect for my vet thinking of me, and knowing it would be safe to "just" see the dog because although I was fighting with myself about getting a rescue dog I knew I would NEVER get a male because of their marking everything. I saw the dog, and he came home with me that day lol, he also came with a shopping bag of things, harness, leash, sweater, coat, bed. The prev. gave what ever belonged to the dog. I have him 3 months now and I ADORE him. He is very smart, very well trained, such a clown, has me wrapped around his lil paw...There is more to this story, as to why he was given up, but I don't think I have enough room to tell it all. All I can say is my Cody gave me back my life, my house is a home again, he rescued me, not me him. He is a very special lil boy, I have been blessed. I found YT by accident, another blessing, it's wonderful to see there are other ppl like myself that adore their yorkies, and consider them their babies and not just DOGS. I have read many posts since registering and the members are truly caring and loving. I am sooo happy I found this site and will be a member for a very long time. Thank you for reading this posting
