A true love story about my angel.
Growing up we had a male Yorkie so I had mentioned to my husband that someday I would like a male Yorkie. Imagine my surprise when working as a store manager at JCPenney the Chrismas of 2000 as I opened the store mall doors and in ran a sweet male Yorkie just 4 days before Christmas! As he pee peed at my feet, I picked him up looking for my husband and walked around holding him showing all of the employees my Christmas gift from my husband! I continued to look and ask everyone where my husband was hiding? When I couldn't find him, I decided to give him a call and thank him and tell him how much I loved my gift and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. About 10 minutes later, mall security came in and informed me that this dog belonged to the manager at bath and body works and had jumped out of the box she had him in. She was selling him that day and the new owner was going to pick him up. I cried as they took the puppy from me. The wonderful employees saw the love in my eyes, collected money and called my husband and said that he had to get that dog for me. As it turned out, the man who was supposed to buy him that day wanted to write a check and the owner said no cash only. The 6 month old dog was originally purchased from a pet store to a family with small children. She then realized that the small dog may not have been a good fit for her busy family and was afraid the children might hurt him. On Christmas eve, that year I came home to a letter that he was in my closet!!!

On our 17 year anniversary of meeting, this year, I felt it was time to say goodbye as he was not looking very happy. My heart is broken and I can't stop crying. Stewart saw me through such a big important part of my life and since I never had children, he was my life. I know I should be grateful for his long healthy life with me but its so hard now that I sometimes cant bear the pain.
