Last week was hard.
We have a seven year old yorkie that has been mine since he was 6 wks old.
He is adorable, but not so good with kids, or people for that matter.
Let's just say that he has been banned from most of the groomers in our city so we had to groom him our self. It usually resulted in someone bleeding.
We made the decision that he needed a new home before we brought home another baby.
He has never hurt little man, but he has been known to bite. I just wasn't sure how he would do once he was out numbered.
I listed him on craigslist and went through tons of emails to find a lady that I thought would be the perfect match.
She picked him up the next day.
At first I was really excited. I loved this dog, he was our dog, but he was sometimes hard to deal with. I was excited that the responsibility of this dog wasn't going to be ours anymore.
As the day went on it hit me and I mean hit me hard that after that day he wouldn't be ours anymore. I was in tears and could not make them stop. Our whole family was in tears. We knew that we had to let him go, but I had no idea it would be so hard.
The next morning the lady came to pick him up. Ace went right to her immediatly which was a miracle in it self. I thought we would be able to hold it together while she was there, but we were all sobbing over this dog. I felt so bad for her, because she felt bad that she was taking our dog. The next few days were hard. We couldn't talk about it without someone crying.
The Laughter
I sent his new owners an email to check on him and this was her response.
Hi Nkki,
He is doing fine .The first night he paced the floors all night. And he has lifted his leg on every thing in the house. He went to the groomers today. He is so cute. He kind of intimidates me. He acts like he would bite. He did bite the groomer today a couple of times. But we love him and our little girl likes him too (Tori - their female yorkie) Hope you guys are OK. I was worried about you guys. Thank you for everything.
This email made us laugh.
I still miss Ace. We all do. Our house hasn't been the same without him, but at least we know he is still up to his old ways... pacing and biting groomers.
