[matese]

Go with your hearts feelings. I had to put my lil 17 y/o girl down Yesterday was one year ago, but it seems like it was just yesterday, the day I had to put he down is still so vivid in my mind. I swore NO MORE DOGS, I have lost so many, and it never gets easier. I have had dogs in my life for 40 + years, I didn't know if I could live without one, but I just cannot handle having to hold them in my arms, comfort and whisper to them that mommie loves you while a tech injects them and ends their lives, the pain in my heart is to over whelming. For 6 weeks all I did was cry. Then I received a call from my vet, the rescue team she works with had just bought in a surrendered 2 1/2 y/o old male yorkie, not an abused dog, she said there was something about him that reminded her of my Matese, she told her staff "this is Joan's dog, get her on the phone" I did not want a dog let alone a male. Long story short. I went the next day just to see the dog, knowing I would not take him, I went only because my vet thought of me when she saw him, I didn't want my vet to think I was ungrateful so for her I went, thinking / knowing I was safe. Well he came home with me. He made my lonely house a home again. I was in a very, very dark place when I lost my sweet lil girl, my Cody lit up my world and filled that hole in my heart. Get that baby, fill that void, it's not a matter of what ppl will say, it's you and the love you have to give to a lil baby that needs you as much as you need him. I have NEVER compared one dog to another, they have their own personalities, no 2 are the same, you will love this new one for who he is. GO FOR IT. Then come back and let us know all about the new love in your life.
