Thanks so much for the supportive and kind words. I am thinking of getting another Yorkie in honor of my lost almost-adopted Yorkie friend. I will keep an eye out at the local shelter (they post pics online) as getting one from animal control may help save a dog's life.

Reading the other threads here and other information in preparing for the original adoption has led me to think there may be a Yorkie in my future after all. Maybe one will show up at animal control soon. I will check daily.

What is also interesting in all this is that my Maltese knows I am saddened by the loss of the shelter Yorkie...I am giving him extra reassurance that everything is ok but he knows something is up.

Dogs are amazing animals...I know the one I was going to adopt held out as long as she could, but when the time came she knew it was time to go to a better place. She did her best...
