Angels or Yorkies

[shecass]

I love this thread. When my dad was dying from emphyzema almost 2 years ago now. He & my mom have a yorkiepoo and she was so in love with my dad. She followed him from room to room and the last few weeks of my dad's life he was in the hospital. So, my mom took Annie and had her bathed & groomed and put a bow in her hair and snook (sp) her into the hospital & put her in the bed beside of him he grinned wide and Annie layed there beside of him with his hand on her the whole time.

Anyway sorry to be so sad. But since my dad died I don't know what my mom would have done if not for Annie. She has mourned my dad just like the rest of us. She would go all over the house looking for him. And she sits in his favorite chair now. And doesn't really like to share it with too many people.

Again sorry.

Sheila .....I know you shared that story with me privately and I loved it then -but I wanted to tell you that it's just as touching this time reading it - It made me cry AGAIN - thank you for posting that - I really do believe our souls will see them again and I can't imagine how happy your dad was to see his baby one last time. THAT is the power of the love between our pets and us.

I'm so sorry about your dad...you've been a HUGE help talking to me about this illness .....and I know you must still miss your dad so much. That story will always make you feel good in your heart remembering the peace and bond he had with Annie.

How true this is! I've been through the rougest time of my life in the past year and a half. My younger brother passed away unexpectedly in Februay 2004. He was 18. We were very close and I was devistated. My parents told me a year later that I could get a dog for my birthday. I had been asking them, it just felt like the time was right. My parents have two dogs, a sheltie and a mini schnauzer, but I've never had a dog of my own and I've wanted a yorkie since I was old enough to know what one was. I had a hard time finding a breeder who had a dog I liked at a price that was resonable. On March 13, 2005, tho, I met with a breeder who introduced me to Olivia. It was like my brother was sending me an angel. This little blessing seems to always know when I need a little quiet friend. Olivia definitly IS a gift, I believe it is a miracle that I found a dog that so completely met my needs. I cannot come close to explaining how everyone needs a wet nose and warm fuzzy body to come home to!

I agreed with this thread. Gucci is an angel. I am having health problems and Gucci has being so helpful to me. She knows when I need a friend. She is being like therapy, better that therapy. When I feel down I look at her and pet her that alone helps me so much. My hubby says Im obssess with Gucci cause Im always brushing her hair or taking her pic. I always tell him that she helps me feel better.

I definetly agree. Whenever I'm hurting or crying or sad my babies are right there to cheer me up.
