Hey guys I had a little girl yorkie for 13 yrs. broke my heart to lose her. It's been 9 wks and I still haven't been able to talk about her without a teAr.
Yesterday I met a little boy yorkie.5 wks old I fell in love again. This after I said no more. I have to decide by tomorrow morn if I want him. I can't have him until May but what do you guys think? and no bows!

Love little boys. I agree that no bows. I lost my yorkie 2 years ago. I baby sat as many dogs as I could but didn't have a yorkie again until after a year. I knew during that year time I wasn't quite ready just because none could compare to my Troy but that was just me. I think everyone grieves a little differently and takes time to heal but having another fur baby in the house always helps a little. I say go for it and since he won't come home until May you have time to prepare and get yourself excited and ready for the thought of pet ownership and companion-hood.

I agree definitely get another if you are ready. Between now and May you'll have time to shop!

I'm so very sorry for your recent loss, how heartbreaking for you.

But, I'm glad that you may have found another little one to fill your heart. He sounds precious!! What did you decide?

I say go for it. As much as you grieve and hurt for your last companion, think about all the good times and the love you shared with her while she was alive. While you will never forget her, that love, IMO, can be there again. Love is not a container that once you use it all up there is no more to give. It is a never ending supply. Once you bring that new pup home a whole new fountain of love will spring up. It's a sad but true fact that in the vast majority of cases we outlive our furry loved ones. I've buried more than one in my life and each one of those days seemed like the worst day of my life. But I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I had stopped after I buried Champ (my 1st mutt). Keep the wonderful memories of your lost friend and go out and make new ones. Good luck with whatever you decide!
