i definitely understand how you feel. I struggled with the same thing about two months ago. Only a little less than 3 months after my precious baby Macey died, I got Lilah. She was not at all the same, and I too didn't feel a bond with her. I was really depressed for the first few weeks, because she just didn't seem to be the right dog for me. She was very shy and wouldn't play with anything. I woke up everyday even more depressed than the day before, and still missing Macey. But after a few short weeks, I bonded with Delilah like I never imagined I could. She has been with me for a couple of months and I can't imagine life without her. I was VERY close to finding her a new home (I even had a few lined up) BUT I decided to give her a shot. It wasn't her fault that I wasn't happy. I truly think that if you stuck it out, you would realize that she is a little blessing. Circumstances are much different than they were with your other Yorkies. She certainly can't replace She-Ra, but I think she could help you heal. I support any decision that you make, because I truly understand. I am just trying to share my experience with you, hoping that you can do what is truly right for you. I'd love to talk to you about it if you would like.
Good luck in your decision, and I wish for the best for both of you. |
