Over the years I have had all kinds of small dogs. All of them were well loved, and cared for. But, my first Yorkie 15 yrs ago caught my heart in a way no pet has ever before. Suzie passed this past Christmas, in my arms. I was devastated by the loss of this girl even though I have a Papillon, Belle to help me grieve. We recently adopted a puppy mill rescue 2 yr old Yorkie girl. Not only did I feel relief from this little one, my Papillon fell absolutely in love with her, and slept through the night for the first time since Suzie's death.
What I am trying to say is that I think there is something about Yorkie's that just brings all the love out in a person. Suzie was the strongest little dog I have ever know. She never whined or cried. When she jumped off the arm of the sofa and broke a bone in her right foot I heard a peep, she never even limped. When she was dying, it was the same. She never showed her discomfort, she kissed me and cuddled with me like it would never end.
You don't know what will happen yet with your little guy, just soak up that love, and who knows maybe it WILL work out. But if it doesn't and he has a short life you will be blessed by every moment you have had with him. |
