| Maggie Hello - I am kind of new to this. My wife and I adopted a 13 year old yorkie several years age. She was blind and had multiple health problems but she and my wife were inseparable. Cynthia was her eyes and she was always at her side. Last September when our baby was 16 years old my wife became suddenly ill. She went into the hospital thinking she had an infection, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. and died 7 days later. Our Yorkie was lost. She refused to eat and cried constantly. The day after my wife's funeral she could not stand up and seemed to have trouble breathing. She was in congestive heart failure and I had to have her put to sleep.We had her cremated and put her ashes with my wife's ashes. I have just gotten a 10 week old yorkie baby and she is wonderful. She is the joy of my life. She weighs 2.2 lbs but she does not know that. I just wanted to say hello and let you know where I am coming from. I am sure that I will have lots of questions. Thanks-Jimmy |

| I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. What a sad and beautiful story. Good luck with your new Yorkie. We just got Charlie about a month ago. He's on the bigger side but he's a little doll. Just love him to pieces. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | You have my deepIest condolences, I'm so sorry about your wife and your little yorkie.... ps....having been there I know just what you're saying about dogs grieving, my cocker Tessa was totally lost when I lost my husband and it's like a double whammy....you've lost someone you love and you're grieving horribly and then to see them also suffering it makes it even harder I really am sorry about your losses and all the best to you with your new little yorkie. I hope she helps you smile and there is nothing like a new puppy to do just that. also - what a good thing your wife and you did adopting a 13 year old. That's pretty special. |

This new baby will bring so many smiles and lift your soul as you move on in life. It is time:-) How precious to have a new pup. Please share pictures of her. Welcome to YT and Yorkie addiction....LOL It's a 24 step program and when your done, you just repeat all the steps again and and again. Oh did I say addiction? I really meant obsession! :-) Welcome
