I think of her often and it took me 2 years to agree to get another dog. I never thought I could love one as much. We found a rescue group & adopted a Yorkie puppy 2 & 1/2 years ago. We were so lucky, it was meant to be. I was wrong, I am CRAZY in love with our Yogi. Yorkies are sure different from Bichons! Also in terms of grieving, I also started collecting and donating items to a great local rescue group near me. It was a good distraction. I didn't foster but it's an idea. Condolences and thoughts are with you |
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story and send me comforting words. Glad that your Nikki got to live to be 17 1/2. Sometimes that is why I feel so "cheated," is because my Baxter only lived to 10 1/2. It was just so sudden and shocking. I do still have our 6 year old Yorkie, Kaylee. But I really don't think a puppy would be good thing for her, and we definitely aren't even thinking about that at this point. But who knows what the future will hold. I am glad that you are now loving life with Yogi. Thank you again for your kindness and comfort. All the words are so appreciated.
