Hello from Ohio!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Pat & Jimm · 01-15-2007, 12:10 PM

We are Jimm & Pat and we live in east central Ohio. Thank you for allowing us to join your forum. We haven't had a Yorkie for around five years now. We lost our Yorkie, who weighed 1 pound exactly, at one year of age. Mickey was the cutest little purse pup you could ever imagine. He would sit on his little bottom and paw the air for you to pick him up. He lived to be in our laps or be a little clown. Sadly, we were told we should have him neutered by our vet. He never made it through surgery. To say we were devastated would be to put it mildly.

I don't think I would ever consider neutering a tiny puppy like he was...it's just too dangerous. So for those of you who have tiny little Yorkies, be aware of the dangers of surgery. I know he was well below the standard for size, and consequently his size probably confused the vet on just how much anesthetic he could endure.

Anyway, we would love join your discussion groups...and, if you're wondering, no...we were never able to bring another Mickey into our lives. But, we can talk about it now...and that's probably the start of another love affair.

Thanks for listening!!

Our first yorkie was 12 when we lost him. He was our child hood pet that was apart of our family. When I got married and moved away my mother wanted another dog. It was hard at first looking for another dog, but getting another puppy was like a breath of fresh air for the family. After one day, she was glad that she got another dog. We still have photos of our fist dog and we talk about him all the time. If your life permits, you should consider bringing another one into your life. Yorkie's will make you smile eveyday! Mine is 8 and she is my baby!!!

Welcome to Yt, there are a lot of good people here.

I am so sorry for your loss, and he sounds like he was a wonderful pet. Please post pics when you can. This forum is good for helping remember the past and start thinking about the future with another yorkie. Kodak is 2 yrs old at 3.5lbs, you wouldn't believe how many times I put off neutering because of stories I've heard. They say the Dr doesn't have to use Anesthetic to put them under they can get a shot. Don't know how true that is, I am hoping to have him neutered before I pick up my new yorkie. Please post wonderful things you remember about your little guy. We love to read about them.

Welcome to YT!! I am so sorry for the loss of your tiny baby. And you are probably very correct about the anethesia. I hope you find this forum to be welcoming, informational and a place where healing can occur.

You are so right, I found that everyone loves their furbabies here. I love your Avatar, she is simply gorgeous, her hair is beautiful.

Sugar's Mom · 01-15-2007, 12:26 PM

Welcome to our board. I am so sorry for your loss. i have a three and half pound fragile girl that I need to have spayed but I am scared to death she wouldn't make it thru surgery. i hope you stay around and join right in with us.

LunasMomma · 01-15-2007, 12:41 PM

Welcome. You've certainly come to the right place. I'm so sorry that your little guy didn't make it

We lost our Starr in October, she was only 3

She bled to death after surgery to remove an intestinal blockage. I know your pain all too well, and my heart goes out to you

When my husband insisted on getting our Luna immediately afterward, I fought and refused, and was SO upset with him for getting her. She almost died on us as well, and BOY did we bond. I truly believe that having her has helped me to heal so much!

So glad you found us!!!!

Janie Doyle · 01-15-2007, 12:45 PM

Hello Pat and Jim. I'm from Cincinnati. I am so sorry for your loss. I have 6 Yorkies. My smallest one is age 3 and she is 2 lbs 9 oz. My largest one is 11 lbs. Each time I had them spayed or neutered it was a worry.

Your Yorkie can never be replaced or will be forgotton. My newest Yorkie age 1 now (Carson) came from a very reputable breeder near Detroit. If you ever want to get another Yorkie please let me know. She does not breed "tinys" but does breed excellent quality pups.

Hi and I'm SO sorry about your loss.....

welcome to the site

Pat & Jimm · 01-15-2007, 01:45 PM

WOW!! What a wonderful welcome! Such compassion and empathy you show here. I guess everyone goes through a loss like that at some time in their life. I'm so glad I've found all of you! And, I promise...I'm not a "down" person...but seeing all those pics of your beautiful Yorkies brought it all back! I promise to be more upbeat from now on!!

Thanks again!!

Hey, my first post here was about my loss, too. I don't think anyone hwere will think that you're a downer, not at all! Don't worry, I have a feeling that you're going to be on a mission very soon to get another baby to love

You'll always remember your little Mickey, but he wouldn't want you guys to mourn him forever, or to be without furry companionship forever either. It sounds like y'all may be ready to start a new chapter in your lives

YorkieShadow · 01-15-2007, 06:22 PM

Hello and Welcome. Im so sorry for your loss. In time maybe another Baby Yorkie will make your hearts feel better. May your baby RIP.

TootiesMom · 01-15-2007, 06:50 PM

hi! Welcome to YT! This is surely the place to bring lots of smiles and cuteness! You will truly love it here!

Northeastern Ohio says hey! I'm sorry for your loss. Too bad you didn't find YT five years ago. When I lost my Reggie, a year ago this coming April 4th, she left me with 5 baby girls eight days old to hand raise. I was determined to see those little babies grow up. It wasn't easy as I couldn't grieve my loss, except for here on YT. Writing about Reggie, her life, and the girls: Love, Faith, Hope, Charity and Star, helped me to get through and YT members were my support group. I couldn't have got through it without them. Reggie was my first yorkie and my baby even though she was 7 years old. We kept Love and Star and the other 3 of my miracle girls are with YT members. We're even talking about getting together for the girls birthday. I hope we can break you down to give into puppy love.
