I know so very many of us have lost our darling little furry friends and you always seem to understand, I have been weakening at times and yet at my age it would not be fair to the dog. The more I think of my case, I was alone at that time and although we always had dogs when the children were young it was not the connection one has when it is just the two of us. I had and have family close but the big part of life was at the place we called home.
Our pets were well taken care of,groomed every day, ate the best food but we were a busy household with even the children busy, some days I hardly remember getting out of the car taking them to all their sports, piano lessons and all the other things children love. I think they got plenty of love when we were home, one or another always seemed to have a favorite and had them at their lap and that included my husband and me however, I think you know what I am saying and that may be the reason I was going down a different road than most here.
This forum is a wonderful place. It seems to me it's only wonderful people who own a Yorkshire Terrier....in some cases not I suppose, but mostly.
Nancy, I will try to get V's email address, I lost so many a while back when I went from one Gmail address to another. You are so right she added so very much fun to the forum but I do believe as you that she is working quite a few hours a day if not full time. It would be nice if she could just pop in once in awhile.
