He has brightened my life in many ways and I am still really in shock that I could be come so attached so fast.

Aww that is so sweet. Its good that you had her through that! And about the kidney stones, wow. Do you produce them constantly? Sorry to be nosey I've just never met someone with this problem. Like with me I am NEVER without a kidney stone. Right this very minute I have four. It has brought down my whole life, no school, no nothing.

Since getting Jackson last year, I've sort of come back to life. It
sounds cheesy as hell but he's given me something to look forward to
in the morning. He's just my little buddy. I take him wherever I possibly
can with me, he's such a great little companion and such a good boy.
Nothing beats his love and kisses when you're sick, or feeling down, or
get home from school/work.

I totally know what you mean! I used to feel so silly for having such strong feelings for a dog. And of course my friends are the typical young irresponsible teenagers who I really cant get along with anymore so they didn't help any matters in making me feel normal. So this place is very nice for people to gather and share stories.

Same. I'm 19 years young and most people probably wouldn't know it. I just don't have the same interests others my age have.

I have fibromyalgia/chronic pain and my yorkies seem to make everything so much better... spending time with them just brightens my day and helps so much. I have went from one to three (soon to be four) with the year and I am so crazy about them and they really do help!

It is so amazing to hear everyones story! Thanks for this post
Lily has seen me through a terrible pregnancy, intence pain, and many sleepless nights.

I'm an insomniac and everytime I can't sleep she's there. I used to have horrible panic attacks in the middle of the night but not since I've had Lily!

When I get out of bed after tossing and turning she always comes too! She never stays in bed without me... while the whole world seems to be sleeping and I can't I have my little buddy to snuggle and kiss.

Thank you Lily!!!

Oh wow, good question.
I was in a motorcycle accident in 2001, coma for month, flat on my back for 2 more months. The one thing that got me trying to get better were my dogs. No one takes care of them like me. I was able to have 1 with me. She laid on my bed with me, and I had to learn to use my wheel chair to be able to take her out to go potty. She always waited for me. 2002 my husband died, and I went and got Rocky. (my first Yorkie) The love you receive from your babies are just so comforting, and real it's so hard to explain. I have no idea where I would be today, if it were not for my dogs(babies) and God.

My little Bailey makes me so happy I have only had her for three months but she is a hughe part of my life no matter where I am if I cant bring her I am happy to get home to her little smiling face! It was cold today and I had her new pink sweater on when I took her out and she would not walk and i said come on Ba and I looked down and the hood was over her eyes I just cracked up she is so cute! I am glad your fur baby is bringing u so much happiness

I am exactly the same way! I guess being out of school 5 years has had the effect of me aging 5 times faster than everyone else =P

Aw that is SO tough. I'm glad you are ok now! And that you had your furbabies to be with you during that.

It doesn't matter what what kind of four legged baby one has, they just make life better. They are all special. My three horses are so awesome along with the cattle dog and my little yorkie. Love'em all.

I have had 2 neck surgeries in the last 15 months. I had to quit working a job I loved and drop out of nursing school. I cannot drive since my surgery. I became very depressed because my lifestyle came to a dramatic halt. Before this I worked four 12 hour shifts in an an emergency room and went to school 3 days a week.

Last February my husband got Harley for me for Valentine's day. He thought it might help with my lonliness and depressin over my situation, and help get my mind off the pain I am usually in. He was right, Harley is the love of my life (after my DH) of course, and he has helped me tremendously.
He never ceases to make me laugh or smile over his antics. He is full of kisses and loves to be cuddled.

The perfect medicine for what ails you, a lovable little
yorkie.

You have it right! Yorkie's are the best medicine.

[Catie_and_Luna]
