Lost time because of Yorkie love
 

I have a 17 mo old female I found when she was 3 mo old.

Now let me set the stage: Our first Yorkie died on 12/22/14 and it really tore my wife and myself up. I ask Sherry how long were we going to wait before we started looking for a female as that was her choice and she wanted to name her Katie. Well Sherry was just too sick to look as she was fighting pancreatic cancer and I lost her on February 6th 2015. So for a month I was just devastated so I included in my prayers that God would help me find a female Yorkie that was close to where I lived that I could see in person and that I could afford and that she would have papers as I wanted to breed her. I located one 70 miles away and they had 2 females and I chose Katie. Driving home I had taken a friend with me to hold her while I drove. I wear bib overalls most of the time but this little ball of fur who had no social skills at all kept crawling over to me. Finally I put her inside the bib part right next to my heart and she burrowed in and that is how we came home. Over the months we have been together she spends most of her inside the house time laying on my chest or snuggled as close as she can and at night after I get settled in bed she will paw at my right shoulder and I will raise the covers and she will crawl under and stretch out across me and that is how she sleeps. If she is around me she has to be touching me. When I leave she will curl up on the couch and waits for me to get home. She never tears anything up while I am gone but likes to shred tissues or paper towels

Now the lost time comes from the fact that I just LOVE the way she loves me and we set for hours just holding and napping. I look at her little body and think of the sweet spirit that is in it. I truly believe God and maybe Sherry had a hand in directing me to Katie. For Sherry her name is " Sherry's cute Katie"

Sorry I was so long winded but I just love her, she sure has helped with the grieving process.
Thanks Mike

Beautiful story. I am so sorry for you loss of your wife and your other yorkie. I have had the same problem in losing my first Yorkie and my husband. It has been pretty long now since I lost my husband but God sent me Mickey when I lost my little Dudley almost 2 years ago. He is the same as you described your little Katie . I am happy that you found someone to love and that loves you equally.

So happy that both of you found someone to help fill the void of your loved ones, they love you so unconditionally...my babies have helped me through a lot the past 2 yrs

I love this story! Sounds like you two are in each others lives for very specific reasons....ty for sharing!

This is a very lovely story. I'm so sorry for your loss and happy that you and Katie found each other. Seems like your prayers have definitely been answered. :) I look forward to seeing pictures!

Tks for sharing - wonderful story and sure Sherry is so happy for you and Katie.

Thank you for your story. Sorry for your lost. I'm happy you found Katie God is good.

Thank you all who have replied. It means so much to me to feel your compassion to a lonely man but who has had the sting of death softened by mans best friend " a little girl Yorkie Gods gift to a greaving husband" I have had other bigger dogs in my life whom I loved, but these little Yorkie's become a part of you and it feels like two hearts are beating as one with the amount of love they give to us.
Thank you all
