Our little Spenser came into our lives eight weeks ago from a wonderful Yorkie rescue. We lost Icy, a rough collie, herder and therapy dog, in July at 16. Our two remaining collies, also therapy dogs, missed Icy so much. However, when my daughter brought over, Audrey, a two year old Yorkie, to stay with us while she traveled on business, they were pups again. So, at Christmas we contacted our yorkie rescue group and applied for a senior. Into our lives bounded Spenser, a 7 pound 10 year old little guy with lots of energy, albeit with rests in between. He's had some health issues but each day he is more healthy and adjusted.
May your new little one fill your life and days with joy and affection. Aren't seniors the best?

Hey Gew,
Spencer is a lucky little guy, to have found you, and your family. It is true
seniors have so much to give, and seem to be very lovable,and attentive.
Thanks for sharing your story
Jack

Well Jack, like WyliesMom said you made our day!
Bless you for your generosity and willingness to share your life with an older pup. After caring for your former dog you are really paying-it-forward and the love you receive from Jake will be with you forever!!

You are the best

Jack, welcome to Yorkie Talk and congratulations on the addition to your family! I am very happy that you and Harley found each other. Thank you and your wife for giving Harley a loving home.

Your beautiful post made my day!

Sadly, many older dogs end up in shelters when an owner dies unexpectedly or has not made plans for their pets beforehand. It's hard to believe that family would do this but it happens more than you would think.

We had a Yellow Lab for many years. Yours lived an exceptionally good long life. They are such wonderful family members. The first several years require a lot of high energy from the owners but the extra exercise was good for all of us!

Yorkies can be just as energetic when they are young. Their intelligence and loyalty to those they love are wonderful at all stages of life. Thank you for adopting this senior Yorkie into your family.

This story warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing. Kudos to you and your wife for adopting this senior!!
Sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Sadie. They really become a member of our families... and quick. People w/out dogs have no idea.
How lucky for you all that you have a full circle again with Harley!
Yorkies have quite the big dog mentality in a small body. And it doesn't hurt that they are sooo darned cute
Looking forward to a pic.
