Surviving Pet Loss | Yorkie 101

❤️ I made this video about surviving pet loss❤️ not only for my Yorkie 101 viewers, but for all of the people who are going through this. Losing my dog of a lifetime Teddy was one of the hardest things that I have ever been through.
In this video, I explain how I finally knew it was time to let go. Some of the things I did to cope with the loss of my best friend, and a very special thing that I did to always feel that he was still with me❤️
I couldn't help but tear up because this is such an emotional subject as pet loss, but I hope that my video still gives my viewers some ideas and comfort. Sending love to my viewers who are going through this (or have gone through this.
I found so much comfort in this beautiful poem: (a poem about pet loss)
May I Go Now?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I’ve lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn’t want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go
I really do.
It’s difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you’re sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I’ll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you’ll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that’s why it’s hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you’ll let me go today.

    I know some people will think what I have to say is crazy. All pets come back to be with us. You will see signs. You may even hear things. I always whisper, meet me at home. They always make it home before I do. I have heard one of my dogs shake herself. They stay until it is time for you to go. Someone told me that your pet will choose your next pet. I believe my poodle did that for us. We had thought about getting a Yorkie. Amazingly so a Yorkie puppy was going to be available in about 3 months. I will always remember all my babies and they are with me.

    I don't think you're crazy. I believe they choose our next one too. Three days after Tasha passed away the name, Olivia, popped into my head and for some unknown reason I started looking at websites of yorkie breeders. This one puppy just spoke to me and 10 days after her passing, I went and picked ip Olivia Rose. Tasha's birthday was June 26th and Olivia's is July 25th.

    Thank you for the video! I had my beautiful Yorkie Lexi for 14 years, since she was 8 wks old. I lost her this last Nov 30th. It’s been tremendously hard losing her. I keep her harness on my bed and I pick it up and smell it, hug it, kiss it and tell Lexi how much I love and miss her many times a day. She was such a princess and perfect dog! She developed an enlarged heart during her last 4-5 months and I think she had cancer of some kind (she had a mass in her bladder that the vet found at her last visit for her heart condition). She would pant and breathe hard all day long and would look up at me almost asking me to help her. It broke my heart that I couldn’t do much to help her. I watched her collapse and pass away in front of me and I’m still haunted by that. But I take some comfort in knowing she passed peacefully at home and wasn’t at a scary vet office. And that she’s no longer suffering. I’m trying to mentally prepare myself to getting another Yorkie- I’m super picky that I want one that resembles my Lexi as much as I can find. Yorkies are such amazing companions, smart, sweet, loving dogs! They’re the best! I’ll always have a Yorkie in my life so long as I’m able to care for one. I’m binging on your videos and crying currently, I miss my little girl so much! 😢

My daughter picked her out when she was very young. It still hurts to this day that she is not with me. I do have another Yorkie named Roxy to keep me company. However, no one will replace Bella. I am so very sorry to hear about your Teddy. Your video brought me some comfort. Again, thank you.

    Wow so you made this video and 12 days after on 11/15/2022 I lost my beloved yorkie Pippin. It was my birthday and the most traumatic day of my life. He was only 8 and suddenly got sick and just could not recover. The vet thought something autoimmune came into play also. I feel like I am still reeling and in shock. My whole family is so heartbroken I couldn’t even begin to explain it. The one blesssing and honor we have now is we got Pippin’s 1/2 brother and the last of his blood line. He is a character and so loveable. I wanted to thank you for making this. The memory bear is a lovely idea. I also loved the one day at a time idea. I have learned a lot from you in a short time watching your videos. With this one you defintely understand the loss.We were so lucky to have our pups & they changed us entirely. My favorite quote is from Steinbeck…”It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.” It is so true.

    Your video broke me. I had to say goodbye to my Scooby 113 days ago and I am broken. I don’t have a memory bear but that is a very good idea. Instead every night I take his little urn with his ashes from the fireplace, wrap it up in the last blanket he slept with and sleep with him all night. I still have 2 other dogs, a Maltese and a Lhasa but Scooby was the love of my life. He was the 5th dog I lost and I was devasted with all of the losses… BUT… Scooby has literally broken me. I can’t write this without crying and my heart breaking over and over. There may be another puppy Yorkie on the way but I don’t know… Scooby was unique and he made me realise my dog breed is Yorkies… there is nothing that compares. Thank you for making this video. If you’re like that after 3 years then I’m in trouble 🙏🏻💔😞

    I loved your video. It was great. I lost 4 pets. Three of them I had to let go because they were old and it was time for them to go as well as them having health problems such as hip dysplasia and difficulty standing and walking. Like you said you just know when it is time to let them go so they are no longer suffering. My Yorkie on the other hand was killed prematurely by a neighbor dog. That just about killed me my heart just broke. He was my first Yorkie and was so attached to me. He was my absolute baby. Like you said my child. All of my pets are my children. I currently have seven dogs, 2 cats, and 4 horses. I lost a cat many years ago and after days of vet treatment and him being in the hospital the vet said that there was nothing else he could do. I had my sister go with me when we had to let him go. He was the best cat I had ever had. He was my everything. I took a long time before I could ever get another cat again because I knew I couldn’t find one like “Blue”. I finally decided to get another cat that looked just like my old cat “Blue” from the animal shelter. I really think it is my old cat “Blue” reincarnated. I named him “Blue 2”. One of the dogs I had to let go was a border collie and he was my dog that I raised from 2 months old the item 2 were my husbands. I just recently rescued a border collie from the side of the road in the dead of the heat in New Mexico. She became my dog she never leaves my side. The 3 dogs we had to take to the vet to let go. I was with all of them for their last moments and held them all and cried for them. One of them went to stay with my daughter for a while so when he was being put to sleep I called my daughter one for support and two so she could be there to for him since he was also her dog too. I have even lost a horse. What I have done is I had my dogs cremated and had them put their ashes in a wooden box with the information on name,birthdate, date of death, and date of cremation. It was my was of keeping them close to me. I also keep their collar and tags. With my horse I cut some of her main and tail hair for a keep sake. My cat I buried at my sisters house and my dat made a wooden cross with the date of birth and death on it. Your video is just what everyone needs to see and know what signs to look for in their pets and how to know when it is time to let their pets go in peace.

    What a beautiful heartfelt message and meaningful poem. Your litle Teddy was beyond adorable.💗As a Yorkie mom 4 x's over, I can totally feel your emotions even after 3 years. My first Yorkie Mitzi was my spirit dog, a little person dressed up like a Yorkie. Then, after my dad died from a brain tumor, I was fortunate to bring home a little Yorkie boy from Mitzi's parents next litter for my mom. Our little Teddy kept my mom company, healed her heart and adored her for 14 good years. Teddy truly helped my mom live until 90! Then suddently my home that was so full of life became dark and lonely. My Mitzi died from kidney disease, then Teddy had cancer out of no where and my mom passed all within 6 months. My sadness was overwhelming. To honor Mitzi and Teddy, I decided to adopt a Yorkie in need. My 3rd Yorkie Fallon was from a puppymill, her only existence to breed back-to-back, never on grass, no teeth, tongue hanging out but at age 6 she finally had a life. Together we rescued one another until she passed just a year ago. What you said about the circling, the blank stare, is still fresh in my mind. I made a huge mistake by not reccognizing Fallon's swift decline due to a fall from having cataracts. To this day, it haunts me I didn't let her go sooner. I hope your message will help someone in the midst of such a difficult time. Waiting too long is almost as bad as losing them. We never want to hurt such faithful, loving creatures. They give us so many wonderful memories, help us through trying times and love us like no one can ever explain. You're so right, we owe it to them to be there at the end. Considering the unconditional love they give us - it's not about on such an occasion. On a one positive note, miraculously 3 days before Fallon passed, out of the blue I found out about another Yorkie retired from breeding (for Petland) that needed a home. I decided to adopt her not knowing my Fallon would pass the following week. I named her Mia (from a huge puppymill and didnt have a name). She's a beautiful but scared little 5 yr old, kept in a cage her entire life. She's litterally a combination of Mitzi, Teddy and Fallon. I truly feel she's a gift from above. To anyone who feels they can't love another, I can only tell you what joy you'll experience when you help a beautiful, helpless creature find their person. Many so called legit breeders, are actually are a front for puppymills. If you see puppy's advertized continuously, it's likely a "farm". When the poor mom reaches around 5 yrs, they no longer produce - no longer needed. Contact the breeder (who's actually the front person) and ask if they have any breeding dogs to be retired. They're beautiful dogs, just with a wounded spirit, never having received love or affection. Trust me, helping a scared, helpless creature learn to thrive will open your heart and enable you to heal. In closing, I want to thank you Megan for the delicate way you handled such a meaningful topic. It's not easy but we wouldn't trade the pain for not ever having them in our lives. 🐾💗🐾

It is so hard to lose our sweet friends, yet we still have to have an open and loving heart because there are so many other pups that need our love. I completely agree with you, to contact a breeder and rescue a dog which is never had a home is such an important thing to do. So many times people are just looking for puppies, but older dogs are so excited to have a home and they are so deserving of our love.

I honestly thought I was prepared but goodness me I had no idea it would be this hard. Yes I did cry watching tho video, when you got emotional it started me off….sat here with my tissues. However this video was also lovely and very supportive too. On a positive note I have just put my name down for puppy she was born on Boxing Day on the full moon. I can’t wait but she won’t be ready for quite a few weeks yet. It’s a strange feeling to be grieving and sad but also excited and happy. I was with him when he went to sleep and I was notified with photos hours after my new girl’s birth so it is just as you say, you re there when they come in and there when they leave - so poignant and so true.

    I lost my yorkie “Jack” in 2014. He was 8. He hadn’t been feeling well for a couple days. The vet told me to give him canned pumpkin for the nutrition and water. Made an appointment to go to the vet 2 days later. I came home from work at noon that day for the vet appt. When I tried to open the front door, I realized Jack’s body was in front of the door. He was stiff. I dropped to my knees and started screaming. I cried and screamed so hard that I actually tore my esophagus. I experienced grief like I never thought possible. It took until 2022 before I could consider getting another Yorkie. I ended up befriending a woman who has been breeding Yorkies for over 30 years. I got a female yorkie from her in August of 2022. I named her Pixie. I decided Pixie needed a playmate so I bought her brother (same litter) and named him Luke. They will be one year old on March 12. Luke is 4 lbs 8 oz. and Pixie is 2 lbs. 14 oz. She’s definitely the alpha but they play together and it’s so cute. They sleep in bed with me. They each have a blankie that they burrow under to sleep, like 2 lumps on the bed. I love them more than I ever thought possible. I have depression and my fur babies are a better treatment than Zoloft. I love your channel! 🌷

And have somehow become a little bit comfortable or familiar with the process. Of course, it is never easy. What I have done is I have always gotten a stuffed animal. That looks like them.

I felt like so many times on my different live streams I would talk to different viewers that had lost their beloved pets, and I just wanted to do something comforting. It’s such a difficult subject, and I tried so hard to make it through without crying but I just couldn’t. Last night as I was just editing in some footage I was watching it with my husband and we were both crying as well. I do feel like I learn some really important things from the experience though and I hope it’s helpful to people, and that even if it’s sad it brings a little bit of comfort.

    This had to be an incredibly difficult video to make. I cried along with you. We have three Yorkie poodle pups. The older too are mostly on the poodle side but our newest baby has mostly Yorkie traits. I started watching your channel a few weeks ago because I knew nothing about yorkies and naively expected Yorkie poodles to mostly always be the same. I learned from you how often a Yorkie needs to be groomed and it was tough for our 5 no old baby at first to be groomed so often but he loves it now and is my easiest dog to bathe/groom. Our oldest is almost 16 and I know we’re going to be saying goodbye to him sooner than later and this video was everything I needed to watch. I also believe in staying with them until the very end. They love us so much and they deserve that love to be returned. Thank you for your channel.

Being able to share our loss as others don't always understand or care about the pain from losing our beloved fur babies. I had never experienced that kind of love nor pain.

For 15 years he was our beloved boy. I held him in my arms while our vet helped him go “home”. I wouldn’t have had it any other way💔. We have a little alter for him with his ashes and photo and favorite little toy. I still cry when thinking of him, he still is and will always be so precious to us. Our son watched our grief for a couple of months and decided we needed to put love and laughter back into our home and bought us a little girl Yorkie. She is so much like bubby and we feel so blessed to have her. She talks to Bubba’s picture every day! This was a lovely, thoughtful video and we can all connect through our love and grief. Our little girl, Bindi has truly been a blessing and is happy to love us and follow Bubba’s instructions to “ take care of mom and dad”! Thank you again for this video. I love the memory bear idea!!!

We did a beautiful family photo session with her a week before we had to say goodbye and she was so at peace that day running in the park with me. I will cherish that moment and memory forever. It still feels like an emotional roller coaster but found this very comforting to watch. We have so much love to give and plan to give another fur baby a loving home at the end of January.

    Thank you Megan for making this special video and sharing your experience with Teddy. Give Alfie, Lola & Poppy hugs for me. Isabella was a gift from God and we had 12 wonderful years together. I can still remember the day that I went and looked at puppies. Isabella she came right up to me, I picked her, loved on her and we immediately bonded. I was able to see her mommy, daddy, siblings and watch her interact with my grandson. When Isabella got tired she came back to me, sat on the top of my shoe and just looked up at me wanting to be picked back up. I picked Isabella back up, placed her on my chest and loved on her until she fell asleep. At that very moment I knew my life had changed forever as she picked me out to be her forever Mommy. Isabella brought so my joy, happiness and unconditional love into my life. I now realize that the time we have with our fur babies goes by so quickly. Our pets are truly members of our family and when the time came I knew I wanted something special for Isabella and also knew I wanted to be there for her so that I could tell her how much I loved her and that I was truly sorry I could not do anything more. I held her, kissed her and told her to tell daddy to take really good care of her until Mommy comes home. A special service was held for Isabella at Ever Faithful Pet Funeral Home.

I learned that you can bring a vet to your home for in home euthanasia. we scheduled it for Friday morning and what a blessing that would have been but we waited too long and unfortunately she died in my arms on the way to the hospital.

    My Tasha passed away September 17, 2021. It is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. We were told she had a mass in her liver in January of 2021 and was told we'd only have her 6 months, we had her for 9 months. I had to make that horrible decision. I still feel like I killed her. I know she wasn't well. Looking back on pictures of her on that day you could see it in her eyes. Tasha started walking in circles just like your Teddy. We gave Tasha everything we could and did everything we could and I came to the conclusion that she was ready. Losing Tasha hurt worse than losing my dad. We now have Olivia, another Yorkie. She'll never live up to Tasha but we love her. I stayed with Tasha until that last heartbeat. I went to a support gtoup for losing pets, that helped some. Tasha had one ear up and one ear down too. I also had a photograph tattoo done of Tasha and the artist actually put some of her ashes in the ink. Her picture is my wallpaper on my phone, a year later, and my profile picture is of her.

    I lost my 9 year old Yorkie in Sept, 2022. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I held her in my arms, hugging and kissing her as she crossed over the rainbow Bridge. She has shown me many signs, and she has let me know she is still with me, it is so heart warming to feel her presence. I live in Canada, after a couple weeks of losing her, we decided we needed to have another baby, not one but we wanted 2. I could not handle the emptiness, coming home with no fur baby greeting me at the door, no cuddles at night. I contacted many many breeders through email, fb messages, etc, all their lists was well into year 2024. I contacted every breeder that was registered with CKC here in Canada, no luck, so I did put my name on a few breeder lists, and made peace with it will be 2 years before I get a furbaby. After a couple weeks, I picked up my phone, a message came in from a Show dog breeder in Quebec, saying she was expecting a litter last week of October, 2022, and I was on her list for 2 females,. I was so so happy, on the morning of October 20, she massaged me and said she had 4 healthy females born. It was one of the happiest days of my life. We drove 1700km to QC to pick them up last weekend. They are 2 beautiful girls, named Bella and Daisy. I do believe that Our Issey brought them to me because I was so broken with losing her.

    Been looking at videos on grieft from loss of a dog. Lost my dog March 15th just a week ago. I am just so incredibly hurt and devastated. Yes he was 16, and would have made 17, next month. A Yorkie terrier. I don't know what happened .On Wednesday, the 13th. I was washing dishes, he was sleeping, jumped up screaming, started running crazy. Mind you at 16, he hasn't been running in years. It took 40 minutes to calm him. He was shivering, scared and kept yelping. After he was back to himself. But then by now in wee hours, Thursday morn @ 3:30am, same thing, happened again. But he calm down quick. By daylight hours, I noted he didn't wanna eat or drink and seem bit weak on right side. I was thinking,, know I didn't have lot of funds, but bring to vet. We live in very rural area. Well Friday..he was breathing hard. I try give him water. He started coughing and died in my arms Now in 2020 he had a benign external tumor removed on top his head over left eye. But never had no issues with it again..regrowth or etc. His was old then, and passed the surgery so well. His daily routine would be, he walks seemingly, all over the house room to room for hours, until he had enough. He would go take a nap. He was active more at night though. Still ate three times a day ..but I do note,, he began drinking more water, than before. Adopted him in 2015 from SPCA. This was after last dog I loss in Christmas morning house fire in 2009. This dog I received without my consent right after the white poodle I had died. Before, I had a white poodle got him, he was 3, in March 1984, he lived until August 15 2002. The dog in house fire lost, was a poodle too. I have had many dogs since a kid and all their lost has been terrible. Hardest thing, so called family and friends, that don't care and feel it's just a dog, or also the go get another one crowd! I buried my dog last week in the drizzling rain. He was buried in our family yard where all the other dogs, since the 70s been buried. All these old real sad songs just keep coming on my mind, and Iam crying more and more.

It is such a significant and painful experience, and most people don't seem to understand what we are going through, or they may even trivialize it. I remember searching online when Teddy died, and I found some pet loss support message boards that were really helpful to me.

    I lost my toy yorkie, sweet SASHA on early morning on May 19, 2024 (Sunday). Just few days before her 7th birthday. I had a feeling she might not make it to her 7th birthday. So on May 18th (Saturday) we decided to have a small celebration. We then all evening in a park. Later that night she went to sleep next to me on her pillow. At 2.00 am, I turned and checked on her, she was looking at me, I asked her " do you want a drink", I gave her some water. At 5.00 am Sunday morning, I turned and found she had passed away peacefully in her sleep. I am heartbroken . I miss her so much. Every morning I get up - I say good morning Sasha, and before going to bed - I love you Sasha. I plan to get another yorkie, and name her Sasha, because I want more time with her.

    I am so sorry for your loss. She was so very young. It sounds like you took beautiful care of her and loved her so much. Sending you love. Losing your best friend is the worst thing in the world. Megan

    I lost my furbaby a week ago. Oreo was 16, she was a Maltipoo. She had lost her teeth, 95% od her hearing and sight and was Diabetic, although she was full of life. She broke her leg in Feb then broke it again last week. she had tumors on her tummy, one of then began to bleed. Due to her age it wasn't safe to do surgery.

    So only decision to keep her from suffering, was to let her go😭. Also lost Oreos Mom 2 yrs ago who was 16 as well. She passed peacefully in her bed...she was my HEART❤💔. I'm STILL GRIEVING. Oreo did as well for weeks😔, it was pitiful cause she didn't understand where she was. I had gotten a Yorkie I've had a yr ago past April from Owner surrender from rescue. She has been a blessing to help fill that hole n my heart. Thks for ur story...it was helpful.

    She sounds so beautiful, and her name makes me smile. She sounds like a sassy and strong little baby. Imagine being full of life while having all of that happen. I am so sorry for your loss. A week is such a short amount of time. Losing a baby as special as Oreo is losing a best friend 💔

    It was kind and loving of you to keep her from suffering. I know it is so hard, but once your heart knows what to do.. it is the only thing. You will be grieving for a long time to be sure. I am so glad that you still have a baby to love, that will help you to get out of bed ( because that baby needs your care) I am glad if my story helped even a tiny bit. The poem in the description makes me cry, but also sums up what I feel so much. Thank you so much for taking the time to write me, and tell me about Oreo.( and her mom) She sounds like a beautiful baby. Always feel free to send me pictures of Oreo if you would like to share them. My Instagram is @megangrahamfitness sending you hugs and kind thoughts today 💗

    Hello all hugs to you all and so so sorry about your losses I had a female yorkie 9 years old Tragically attacked by other family dog due to fight over treat bones My yorkie her name Sassy would always go into my sister’s room where she herself owns a medium sized Boxer/mixed sassy One morning April 26 /2021 Tuesday I heard fighting going on my sis tried to stop and I ran up steps to sis room and tackled her dog immediately and put her into a hold on my back and told sis to grab my dog and bring downstairs Rushed my dog who was gasping for air to vet clinic I held her in a towel and crying and comforting her while my other sis drove Then arrived to clinic handed off my dog sassy to vet technicians I explained what happened For 1 hour waiting news I was hysterical was like this anyway all through this freaking tragic moment that I can’t get out of my head and never ever will News was Sassy had serious injuries and I already knew that but my decision was no pain let go and vet decision and mine same. My Sassy was everything to me just like a human baby 2 years now I still can’t get out of my room I won’t go to therapist to hard to rename tragic event They offer you help such as; group help going for walks and joining other help services I can’t talk about it it’s too hard way to tragic to talk about I shut my world off still do even don’t visit family members I do nothing except watch TV all day my room It’s just like I’m waiting for that day it will my time It’s just how I feel nothing can change this feeling nothing ever will I won’t let it My depression meds don’t work of course only my Heavenly Father in Heaven knows my issue and he gets me through each day No therapist or anyone I wanted for help but My Heavenly Father I kept telling everybody I know it’s sounds horrid and I don’t know if that’s the right word But what keeps me strong is My reuniting and extreme powerful happiness is being with my Sassy and family members who have passed This keeps a peace of mind to me and a overwhelming joy in my heart But for myself and things I used to do I swept under a dirty carpet where it remains until my time I know and I apologize to all reading this my story We all suffer such tragic losses in our life time This is the WORST part of life and dealing coping grieving I mean who the heck ever gets over this? Only time they say? Nah to me as I speak for myself No the pain of my Sassy’s passing and the tragic terrible awful thing that I experienced and went through is too dramatic that day It recalls in my thoughts and I try very very hard to wipe out that thought I can’t I can’t Nothing helps me I don’t want help Only Jesus Only Jesus! So now I wait Sorry to all of you going through this I hope and pray each day gets better for you and God knows May my baby girl Sassy dog spirit be in my heart 24/7 as she too awaits for me and I her ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

    I am so sorry for your loss. Your story is so heartbreaking and tragic. I am praying for you. I know that therapy is very hard, but please read about EMDR. It helps us to process extremely traumatic events such as what you went through (in a more gentle way. Please don't give up❤️❤️❤️

    I too have lost beloved pet that I had for 16 1/2 years she was a dachshund miniature that had three years of age injured her back running under a fence after a rabbit and was paralyzed from the waist down I made the decision to take her to surgery in the hopes that They could repair the damage unfortunately they were unable to do anything but I brought her home and ordered one of those two real things that you strap your dog into and course it was too early to use but do you make a long long story short I exercise her feet legs every day and put her in the bathtub and exercised her feet and eventually she could walk is kind of spastic but she she walked my baby walked and so she and I loved and lived together for another 13 1/2 years and people would say why don’t you put her down and I would say because she’s a very happy dog and she’ll tell me when it’s time and one day I came home from work and she looked up at me and I knew it was time I had made arrangements many months prior with a vet who made home calls for end-of-life episodes so that she would not be traumatized having to go to the vet one last time he arrived and my my friends and family surrounded me and her my little Sasha and my then boyfriend actually made a beautiful wooden box for her out of oak polished oak and it was lined it was silk and I had a silk pillow that I put in there and I put her in there before the vet came to see how she would like it and she loved it at the end I had music and candles burning and several lamps with crystals in them and all at once the crystals put out sparkles all around the room and then went in a circle and landed right in Sasha‘s box with her it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and everybody in the room was like wow did you see that it was so special I to get emotional when I even tell the story even though it was so beautiful but I know I’ll see my baby at the rainbow bridge thank you Megan for your story and for the opportunity to share I can I have now two Yorkies and four puppies
