Visitors to TOTV over the past 3 years might remember when my husband and I "adopted" a then, 12 year old Yorkie "Little Bear" who was featured on TOTV as needing a forever home.
We were blessed to enjoy his love and affection for 3 years, but he peacefully passed away today. What a gift to us, the little guy was, and we will enjoy seeing him again in Heaven.

I am so sad to hear of his passing. He was so fortunate to be loved by both of you.

Thank you, Gracie.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I do remember your joy when he became part of your family. I'm so glad he found love and comfort. What a wonderful gift he have to you and you to him. Blessings.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I remember when you adopted him (or maybe he adopted you). Over the years I loved reading the Little Bear updates and the pictures you posted. He sure was a character, you'll be seeing him again.

[Boudicca]

Thank you all, for your kind, sweet and generous words. Such a comfort. I know Bear was "only a pet", but he was in fact, a real member of our family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. All of who have been there know our babies were not just pets. Sounds like he found a darn good forever home. Peace be with you.

So very sorry for your loss. Some people don't understand how we can feel about animals. They are just like children. You both were very blessed to have spent the past 3 years together. He will waiting for you.

[gerryann]

Awwww, poor Bear. He was lucky to have you!! Sorry

[Trayderjoe]

I too am sorry to hear of your loss and wish Bear the best playing with our friends who preceded him.

I remember well when you adopted Little Bear.
I really admired you for giving a forever to home to a 12 year old Yorkie.
Has it been three years already? Does anyone else notice how quickly the years are flying by?
Please be comforted by the fact that you gave Bear unconditional love during his final three years.
You will miss him, but you will see him again on the other side.
Bless you.

We went through that last year with Sport but got lucky and picked up Beau at Max's Pet Connection at Pet Smart five days after that. They are there every Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 2 PM as far as I know. Home

And there was a woman who rescued Yorkies for some organization here in Florida who lived in Glennview. She was high up in the organization chart. She used to be a neighbor of a friend I have from Doggie Doo Run Run who moved back north for a while but he is a Facebook friend.

Just some ideas as you grieve.

Thank you all, for your kind and comforting words and advice. We are still too sad and shedding tears to think about another pet any time soon. Our other dog, "Meg" stopped looking for Bear, but has taken to her bed with her face to the wall This will pass, and we are making sure she's not neglected while we grieve.
