we got toby as a 7week old puppy.he grew into a beautiful dog.he slept with us,we was mommy&daddy to him,he loved car rides,he told us when the mailman came,he died in my arms nov9th ,2003 at 7.30 pm.on a sunday night,he was fine on that friday but he was gone 2days later.i could not go to work that next day.oh it hurt terrible,i cried for 3 weeks later even at work,so after toby died. after a month went by we decided to get another yorkie puppy,toby had a massive heart attack.he licked me on my face just before he died,so we got little odie he was 7weeks old when we brought him home,we found out he is a distance cousin to toby so we still have tobys blood line in the family.having odie does help.he won't take tobys place as toby was a special dog and we love him and miss him very much,we hope to be with toby again someday and see him again.our little odie is 11 months old and weighs 7lbs.5and is full grown.we love him just as much as we do toby,i would love to hear from anyone who wants to email me to talk about their beloved pet,they are just like one of our children.it is very hard to give them up when you are not ready.
