Forum newbie, 15 yera Yorkie Veteran Hi, I have been reading many posts, and have posted on a few. It's time to introduce myself, my name is Chris, and as the title says I had a Yorkie, Megan, for 15 years, she died on May 28th, dementia and renal failure. Megan was a blue baby, not in coloring, but the heart condition. She wasn't supposed to live past her 1st year, but defied the Vets, and had a very good long life. On July 4th, I picked up my newest edition to the family, Gina is a beautiful blue and gold Yorkie. I am a disabled Navy Veteran, I've been married for 22 years and have 2 sons, one who just graduated Army boot camp on July 2nd. I hope to make some new friend here, and I have found this to be a very useful site. Thank you to all who love Yorkies, enough to make this a great site. Cheers Quad:animal36 |
Welcome to YorkieTalk! I'm sorry for your loss, losing a pet is always hard. You gave Megan a life full of love and you are a wonderful person for doing so:) Congrats on the new addition! If that's her in your profile pic she is a cutie! |
Hello and welcome to YT! Grats on getting a new puppy too. I'm glad you found us too. 15 years of yorkie ownership is a long time. I'll look forward to reading about some of your experiences! I'm sorry about your loss. I bet Megan was a truly awesome dog. |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I am so sorry for your loss but I am glad you have a new precious baby to lighten your life. We will be looking forward to seeing pictures of your new baby and of the the girl you lost if possible. Last year I lost my first yorkie. She was 16 years old so I know the pain you are feeling from losing your precious baby. |
Thanks to all of you. That is Gina, from the day we got her home, it's one of the pics I took to show my son in the Army. I didn't tell him about Megan until I saw him at his graduation. The transition was a little rough for Gina, but she is doing fine now. I will post some pics of Megan after I go through them, and will add more of Gina as she grows. They certainly make life much richer, and fun. I love these little rascals, they worm their way into your hearts in a heart beat(pun intended). Cheers Quad:animal36 |
Thanks for sharing your story. Welcome to YT. |
Hi and Welcome to YT! So sorry for your loss... RIP Megan. I would love to see pics of her, and your new pup too! Congratulations! And Thank You for your service to our country. God Bless you! |
Welcome! I am sorry to hear about Megan but so glad you found Gina to share your love with. Thanks to your family for service to our country. |
I'm a military family member....Dad, uncles, son, daughter and many friends...Sorry about your sweet baby but happy that you so many years together..I'm sure that and the memories bring you much comfort...I'm glad you found us and hope you stick around. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service for me and our country, it is truly appreciated! |
Welcome. You obviously took excellent care of Megan. Congrats on your new fur baby! |
Just awesome when you can beat what the docs say like you and Megan did. My aunt just did the same thing this week. I know it's so hard to lose your little furbutt, even when they have lived a long and fulfilling life; my girl Minnie died of kidney failure and the resulting seizures on May 20th, and burying her was about the most bitter thing I have ever had to do. Even carrying my best friend's casket at age 14 wasn't as tough (he got killed by a coked-up driver). I'm so glad you have found another loving yorkie, Chris. I got my pup on July 3rd, and I'm so excited to have her, as I know you must be with Gina. |
Hello and welcome to YT. I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you were able to open your heart for another sweet Yorkie. I hope Gina gives you lots of joy and happiness |
Hi and welcome to you and Gina. I never spent much time on the computer until I found Yorkie Talk-now I just can't stay away! This is a great place and I look forward to hearing all of the Gina stories u will have. I'm sorry about Megan. |
Welcome! :welcome4: :yorkietal :welcome4: Welcome to YorkieTalk to you and Gina. I would like to thank you for your service to the Greatest Nation on Earth, as well as your two's son service. And a thank you as well to your wife for supporting all of you while you served! I am sorry to hear of your loss. Yorkies are amazing. It sounds like the care and love you gave Megan, along with that strong yorkie spirit allowed her to live a long happy life. It is always a pleasure to welcome a fellow Georgian to a YT's family of yorkie lovers. Can't wait to see loads of pics of Gina and to hear all about her. |
