| Am I ready for another Yorkie? We lost our precious little Sprite June 27, 2014 after complications post surgery for severe hydrocephalus. The surgery was a final effort to save her life. She was only three years old and losing her was devastating for me. Okay, I'll confess that she was my special little snuggle bug and I absolutely adored her. I am just starting to allow myself to think about bringing another little Yorkie into my life. I am so afraid of something big going wrong again that it is making me have doubts. I have lost other much loved pets over the years but this time was different and she was my first little Yorkie. Some recent background that may be contributing to my feelings....January 2014 we lost our 15 year old Siamese cat to kidney failure, in June we lost Sprite, and in September our Cocker Spaniel was diagnosed with hemangiopericytoma (cancer) and had successful surgery. In March this year she was diagnosed with mast cell cancer and had successful surgery again. She's almost eleven. Our six year old Yorkie/Maltese cross is totally healthy (thank goodness) and was best buddies and playmate to Sprite. So to sum up, this is an emotional/heart issue only. I have the time and means to support another little dog. Are these hesitations I'm feeling normal? Do I just need some encouragement from fellow Yorkietalk members Should I hold off a bit? If you convince me to take the leap, then I'll ask about breeder recommendations, rescues etc. Thanks
