I believe this to be a fact. My little Yorkie passed away in December and I haven’t been the same since. I miss her so much.
Take heart. Dad’s little Yorkie Katie visibly grieved at his death. She would often look up when I was there, as if some unseen presence was above us. A smart little dog, always suckered me into taking her outside, lol.
When you’re ready just remember there are many shelter dogs waiting for someone to love. Three years ago I lost my little Pixie in early Feb. and by the middle of April I was at the shelter. Found a wonderful dog and have added 2 more. Can not imagine life without a dog.
