I Love Thor Donating Member | Something I never told you... I used to be very active on YT, and of course, like everyone else here totally love it, and adore all of the wonderful people that make YT what it is. YT has grown since I was an addicted, obsessive YTer, so many of you may no clue who I am or my stories, but many will. Anyways, to get to the meat of this story... Thor is my little bear. I got him in 2005 for my birthday, and it was love at first sight. After I graduated university, I packed my boy up and we moved to Canada to be with the other love of my life. We drove across America, the three of us, and it was so fun, and he was SO good! When we got to Canada Thor was very unhappy. We tried many different methods to calm him, make him more comfortable and happy here. Nothing worked so I had to make a very, very hard decision. Me, my boyfriend, mom, and dad talked about having Thor go back to NC where he was used to his big sister (lab) and new brother (yorkie). So off he went. Yes, in an airplane, and I cried when I had to put him in that crate, and they made me leave him crying, sad and scared. He arrived in NC in great spirits and was very glad to see his grandma. He also loves his daily walks with grandpa which are about an hour long. On the weekends they go to the forest for romps in the woods and along the river. During they day the 'dog pound' (as we call the bunch) hangs out together and guard the house. It has been so hard. I've been so sad about it, and miss him all the time. He was my constant little companion, and my buddy with me in a brand new place where I knew nobody. I know he is happy, and being taken care of like the little prince he is...although I'm sure he is enjoy his less frequent baths. I was hesitant to tell everyone about this because I didn't want any negative responses, but now that my heart has had time to deal with this, and I know I did the right thing, I'm okay to talk about it...Even though I feel so horrible about it and still cry over it a year later. One day, I will be adding a yorkie to my life again. So since Thor has not been directly in my life, I have slowly pulled myself away from YT so that it doesn't hurt, and also because I haven't need yorkie support. Boy what would have I done without YT when I got Thor? I love this place and all the great people and hope everyone is doing well! Here is a picture of my mom with Thor and Harry in NC! I love this pic! Last edited by Thorsmomma; 04-12-2008 at 11:57 PM. |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Hannah, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. We went through something kind of similar, so I can sort of relate. If anyone gives you a negative comment, just ignore them because they have no idea what it feels like and they have no idea of what it means to do what is best for the dog. I'm sure that was a hard decision for you, because I know how much you love Thor. I'm sure that its still a tender spot for you, and it still hurts. I'll keep you in my prayers and if you ever need to talk or anything, my PM box is open. Hugs! I'm glad that he is happy and content with Grandma and Grandpa.

I Love Thor Donating Member | Megan, I did read a while back about you and your fam going through a similar situation. My heart aches for you guys too. BUT you did what was best, and also I know two very spectacular people that have new doggies in their lives now, who are providing great homes...All you can do is what's best! Thanks for the sweet comment! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Now I might badmouth you for disappearing from YT and making us miss out on your wit, wisdom and cool adventures, but I'd never in a million years badmouth you for doing what's best for Thor. You did the most selfless thing a dog lover could do. You put Thor first and yourself second. I know how much you love Thor, but it's obvious that you've made him a happier dog. I'm sad for you but happy for him. I better quit. I'm getting all weepy. Good to see you around occasionally, though. You are missed.

| Well I must say that I think you are a wonderful yorkie mom for caring so much for Thor and putting his feelings ahead of yours. A lot of people would of just let the dog be and hope he adjusted but you being so kind and loving of Thor found what would be BEST for him even if it meant you having your heart broken! to you for being such a great yorkie mommy!

| I remember you. You have been missed. You did a very selfless act for him. I wonder if he was jealous of the boyfriend. I'm glad he's happy again. I'm sure he'll be excited to see you on your visits. Sounds like he's very happy with Grandma, Grandpa and his buddies. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Hey Champ ! I wondered where you'd been and you did what you did out of LOVE for him - if you knew he'd be happier and he is - then the story has a happy ending.... |

| You have been missed! It has always been my thought that you have to love more if you are willing to give something up than to keep it. If faced with a decision such as yours, I only hope I could love Toto that much. I do hope you will stay around ... ask your Mom to give Thor big hugs from us! God bless you for putting little Thor first!!

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Hi Hannah! I'm fairly new to YT so I wasn't around a yr ago. I'm from NC, I could be close to your sweet Thor bear. I was so touched by yr story. What great Love you show for Thor. How could anyone judge you differently that what someone else posted = You showed "unselfish" Love for Thor!! I know you must cherish the pic of Thor & yr Mom & Thor's buddie. And I know you are comforted to know he is in Great Loving Hands. I hope you get to see him soon......maybe, yr Mom could post to you here and you could get to see his daily antics unless it would make yr heart ache more. I hope you hang out @YT more. We'd love to hear about yr new life in Canada! I'm glad you could finally open up & hope you continue with stories of Thor. The last yr had to have been very hard! You & Thor are still connected with a bond by the heart & always will be!!

| Wow, I can really relate and I totally understand your feelings. When you put your baby first, there is no other greater sacrifice. I hope you can be happy again because I know how much you are hurting.
