Each one of our precious furbabies are their own special brand. Every dog our family has had are very unique. Each one having a special place in our hearts and will never be "replaced" only to fill or add to the void that the last one has left. And there will be different feelings about it for each one. Some may feel more accepting or a closure with some pets while with others, will feel that time took them too soon. My little Kimchi is certainly different from my other yorkies (or any dogs for that matter) and even though she acts like a pain in the derriere alot of times (she's a true melodramatic, diva >_>) I love her so much and she does show her love for me in a lot of ways
She always expresses that she wants to be near me and wants me to play with her and do stuff with her. Doesn't matter if I give her a new toy that she's suddenly so interested in, if I leave her side after giving her a new toy, she'll cry out for me to be near her and play with her. Granted.. lol If I try to have her sleep with me, she'll just get frustrated >_>;; She's used to sleeping with "grandma" on the futon and with most of her plushies, at least 10 of them >_<;;; She's gotta have a little light and some noise from the TV as well as have her own comfortable spot to be able to sleep X_x
I've lost two yorkies that I grew up some with before 2010 and lost one, of two, of my best friend's to cancer at 2010. I was very depressed for a few years, but then, last year, I just felt like I needed a yorkie. Granted I have a soft spot for them since I had some but I just really felt like I need one soon. Hard to explain otherwise. Things fell together in the most amazing way and I got my little Kimchi
I had hoped for a yorkie that can give me signs if something's up or what's on her mind (our past female died without giving signs that were obvious to us at the time) and omg did I ever get what I asked for lol. She'll let me know somethings not right with her, whether it's her discomfort or displeasure :P Also, she was born on my birthday (found out when I signed her contract)
I took it as a sign from my best friend, who passed away, as her gift to me (again one of those hard to explain feelings, as there was so many other stuff that made me getting this one too amazing). Granted I stress over her, but she certainly takes my other stress, and so on, away. SO yes, the right one will get to you when you most need them, and they will fulfill that empty void in a way that they were meant to
