| Thanks everyone! I think I was having a little pity party for myself. I actually have had a Silky Terrier who came to me a a 4 year old rescue, Coral, She is my avatar pic. She unexpectedly passed away last August. I miss her so much it still hurts. She was the perfect dog for my situation. She loved her crate. She would wait by it in the morning for me to let her in. She was so special I don't really need to tell ya'll how strong of a bond is made with these little dogs. I still sleep with her favorite toy at night. After she passed i rushed into getting a Yorkie that a family member was "done breeding" Her name was Hope she was 7. She was perfect also. (they all are) She wasn't taken very good care of she came to me with heartworms, enlarged heart, and LP. We got her the heartworm treatment and we were told that with cage rest most recover very well. However it was just to much for her. 3 months watching her go down hill was agonizing. I hated being away from her during the day even though my husband was home for the most part of the day. I know we did all we could for her but it stills hurts to think about her. I knew what would happen I would have to have another one, I need another one. But I was scared to lose another one not just me but my husband too. I have never seen a dog melt a grown man's heart like a Yorkie can. I knew he was hooked the day I watched him give Hope a zerbert on her belly!! Unfortunately, I put myself in a situation where I would not be able to get a Yorkie for a long time. I knew I would have to have another one and I was afraid to put my family thru the heartache again so we adopted a beautiful German Shepherd that is 2 about 5 months ago. This Shepherd was given up by her pervious owners because she killed the small dog that she was raised with. Don't get me wrong she is the most loving dog there is. But some have a prey drive and she is that one . I knew when the rescue group told me about her past that she would be able to help me keep the promise that I made myself , not to have another Yorkie until I am in a position to be home with her. And as long as Vada (our shepherd) is with us there is no room for my Yorkie. I know that probably seems like a drastic move but that is how scared I am at losing another one. |
