Today marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of my special little Bumpy.

He was a 16-year-old special Yorkie who spent all but the first 4 months of his life with my husband and me. He was, as all our furbabies are, a member of the family. Definitely a Mommy's boy, wanting to come to me for his special attention. As he grew older, he slowed down and lost most of his vision and hearing in one ear. It didn't stop him from being a special sweetheart.
I miss him very much. Fortunately, Sean came into our home 5 months ago, never replacing Bumpy and his brother (Spock passed away the previous year), but filling a void in both our hearts and home. He has a different personality than both of them, though all the typical Yorkie traits!
It's so good to have a place that I can "voice" my feelings today, where I know many will understand.
