McNugget, as she was known to everyone,
was one very special little Yorkie. She
weighed 4 lbs. throughout her Obedience
Career. She brought smiles to all those
who looked upon her . She was more then
my Sunshine.
She was the breath I took into my lungs,
the blood that ran through my veins. She
was so much a part of me that we were
very rarely separated throughout her
lifetime. She slept by my side, was
seat-belted in the car when we drove, or
walking by my side while out and about.
In her last years she served as a
therapy dog while I worked for a
Psychiatrist. Most patients wouldn't
book their follow up appointments unless
they knew McNugget would be there to
calm their fears, or lick away their
tears.
There is hardly a day that passes that I
don't still recall US! We were a team,
we were bonded and it hurts so that you
are gone. There are many more
Yorkies here at Toybox now and
some come close to where you and I were
but none will ever touch me as you have.
You accomplished so much in your
lifetime. You hated heeling in
Obedience but I know you did it for me.
You would try so hard to please me and
my precious little girl you never
disappointed me. You not only achieved
a High In Trial at the
Yorkshire Terrier Specialty in
New York City but you managed to
complete your Utility Title as well.
We took many trips to
Canada where you finished your
Companion Dog
Title in one weekend and your Companion
Dog Excellent title as well. We tried
for that OTCH in Canada but it eluded
us, even though you did place 5th
Highest Scoring Yorkshire Terrier in
Canada in 1995. Who could blame you for
getting mixed up with the long stand in
Canada. I knew why you were confused but
I couldn't figure out how to make you
understand.
All that is behind us now and you are
there at the
Rainbow Bridge waiting for that
day to be reunited with me. My time
here is not over, I have much to do my
little friend but one day we will again
be together. You are there with Penny,
Jewel, Pepper, Phoebe, Muffin, Amber,
Summer, Shadow, Demi, and of course
Grandpa Frank.
Take care my sweet girl and watch for
me, one day I will be walking up those
stairs and crossing that Bridge to be
reunited with you and all my family.
I still have your
favorite little pig toy. I will make
sure it is in my pocket when I come to
you...
