Lisaly, thank you so much. Yes Gracie does have a wonderful little disposition. Somehow when I saw her I just felt that "Gracie" fit her perfectly. Her registered name is "How Sweet the Sound." I am glad you have such wonderful memories of your special Gracie. The decision was so close between a Biewer, like our Sprite was, and a Havanese, and I finally chose the Havanese because I thought she'll be just a little bit bigger and sturdier. Haha, we ended up with a peanut anyway. Sprite must be smiling down.
SharonSnowbird, these little ones do steal your heart, don't they. I had a difficult time after Sprite passed away, and it took me over a year to even begin thinking about another little one. I think it's different each time you lose a dog. Sprite wasn't the first I've lost, but she somehow effected me differently. Maybe it's because the other's passings were more expected, being older. I too find it difficult to imagine life without a little dog. We still have our other two, and little Gracie has fit in perfectly.
