I lost my most precious Chester last October. I actually stole him from some people who had neglected him to the point of abuse. I didn't even know what kind of dog he was at the time. Two years and $2500.00 later, I had the most perfect dog that ever lived. The vet guessed him to be 10-12 when I got him and he lived for five years after that. That started my love of Yorkies. I now have a new rescue, but no dog will ever take Chester's place. He will always be the perfect pet in my heart. And though I love Chloe to pieces, a part of my heart still aches for Chester. Getting Chloe was very good for me though. A house just isn't a home without the pitter-patter of puppy feet. Go for it, find another love, and know that Kiwi will always have a piece of your heart that you'll never give away again. You will, however, find another special piece for your new family member. God bless you and know that Kiwi has many, many friends with him, including my Chester. |
