No, I didn’t get another yorkie after Bobby. (named after Greyfriar’s Bobby, a terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for supposedly spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died himself)
I guess I felt like you; that no dog could replace my little angel.
We do have two yard dogs; a beautiful little white female Eskimo Spitz and a beautiful little red chow female. (both spayed) I love them, but not like Bobby.
Speaking of your husband’s wanting something to fetch, etc.
Our big, black tom, Tommy (Isn’t that original?)
will play fetch (when he’s in the mood), and shake hands with you. Cats CAN be taught tricks.

Yup, see my post #85 ;)
Problem with Cotton is she will only do her tricks when SHE feels like it. I totally respect that. I guess I have admiration and respect for my cats, but an all encompassing love for my dog.
