We had two Yorkshire terriers. The oldest (14 years) was dying from kidney failure and we had to give her peace. This was about six months ago. Then the second one (9 years) came down with an aggressive tumor in her abdomen. She died on the table during surgery. This was about two months ago. I'm tearing up as I write this. Those little devils burrow into your heart and when they are gone, they leave a big hole.
