My mom and aunt recommend that I get another Yorkie. At this point I feel that I am not ready to even try it...I'm still so upset about Kiwi, I feel that she was one of those "once in a lifetime dogs".
Mom mom's yorkie died at 5 years old from genetic problems. She said she wasn't able to do anything for 8 weeks, until finally my step-dad brought another little yorkie home. At first my mom was very hesitant but very soon, she said, she was able to love another little pup without replacing her first...which made her feel much better. Does anyone else have this experience? And how long did you wait? I can see myself waiting for a year or so...although there is something inside of me that wants to get another furbaby in the next few months. |
I will tell you from experience it helped me so much by getting Lillie! I knew in my heart I could never replace Kloey and that was not what I was trying to do, but I was so empty inside and I just felt it was the right thing to do and I'm so HAPPY I did, Lillie is such a joy and I love her more and more everyday. I waited 2 weeks after Kloey left me to get Lillie and I dont think I would have got her if it was not for YT!
But dont push yourself, you do it when you feel the time is right. Maybe you could go and visit a litter of pups and if you feel one is meant for you then you will have your answer.
Please if there is anything I can do for you, let me know.
