This statement is so true, this morning we are up early, due to my husband going into work. I was down in the floor playing with him and I was taken back 5 yrs ago when my daughter was in a terrible car wreck and every one kept asking, Is she an only child, do you have more children? After months I finally realized they were doing it because the Doctors only gave her a 16% chance of pulling thru the next 5 days. All I knew was it irritated me because this was the only thing they would ask me. This morning I thought, this is why, having Joey after losing Cabella, gave ME something to hold on to. So today, Joey will get something for him to cling to. I think it will work out good, because Joey and Tiffany love to play together and might be best because he is used to her getting on my lap and doesn't mind to much, I was concerned with getting a new puppy because he is so use to having all of my time, due to Cabella not being much of a lap dog. So wish us luck, of course if it doesn't seem to be good for him, Tiff will go back home, but I have never seen a Yorkie, especially my precious little guy, not accept a friend to play with, they are just sooo special...

That sounds like a nice idea. It might help both you and Joey. I know you both are grieving. I'd love to know how it goess with Joey. My thoughts are with you! I was going to tell you that a similar thing happened to a lady that I am acquainted with. It wasn't a yorkie. It was a little rat terrier that she had rescued from being a breeder at a puppy mill. She backed out of her harness and the lady was left standing with the leash and harness in hand. She ran towards some woods and was never found.

So sorry for loss.

I hope things work out for your new addition:)

This week end was a hard one. When I got to the house in Va, all of Cabella's little things were laying around the house. As I walked thru the front door there was her little sweater laying on the hall table. As I went thru the kitchen to the den there was her favorite treats. In the den was her kennel with her favorite blanket..then as I went upstairs to my bathroom there was her little hairclips. But her memories are getting easier as I remember the good things. My son-in-law brought Tiffany up and as my husband and I were raking leaves, the guys started to bark at the people walking thru the neighborhood and I yelled Joey, Cabella be quite, my husband and I looked at each other as if to say......then in awhile, we were getting ready to go inside and he said Joey, Cabella let go inside and we both looked at each other again as if to say.... Time will heal and help us to just keep her memory alive with the good days.

Joey and Tiffany are doing pretty well. I let them outside in the field today without a lead, and Joey was running and playing alot with her. It was almost like he would do with Cabella. Last night we came back to the house in Tn and I put Tiff in the kennel in the bedroom but left Joey out so he could sleep with me. I don't want to change everything for the little guy at once. I feel baby steps might be the best for him. He was eating a little better this afternoon. And they are on the couch with me, playing, so hopefully they will get better and better. It is funny because when i talk to Joey I tell him Mommy loves you so very much and with Tiffany it's you are Mamaw's favorite little girl.... I am loving it. Tiff is a brown and white pom but looks like a papalion? I think is what they are called, anyways she is the cutest little thing..and I think I do see a little more spark in my little man tonight...I think this will work out.....Thank you guys again for being there....Sharon, Joey and Tiffany

Well, it has been a couple of weeks that Tiffany has joined us and Joey is doing much better. He still seems different at times but as one lady said, has the spring back in his step. He doesn't cling and demand all of my time like the first couple of weeks..... he loves to have someone else around to play and romp with. Tiffany seems to enjoy having more freedom than being left in a bathroom all day and night alone. Joey is back to eating like normal and still loves a game of fetch. Thanks again to all of you for your support... These guys are the best and Cabella is still though of and missed each day several times but I was blessed to have had her for thae amount of time I did, it just wasn't long enought. Sharon, Joey and Tiff

so sorry for your loss!!! :( prayers with you and your family!

I hope each day will get easier for you. I suppose Joey\'s clinginess at first was because he feared you might go away, too, just like Cabella did.
