We lost our yorkie Jan 14th she got out of the house and was hit by a truck and died in my arms. We have 2 large dos and 2 cats but we miss her so much. She was 2 in Dec and we had her sinc eshe was 10weeks old. family and friends have sugested to get a new yorki as soon as possiable, but it is just like losing a chid for me and my entire house is still greiving the loss. I am considering maybe in the fall getting another yorki not to replace Fifi because she will never be able to be replaced. Any suggestions

When I lost my beloved cocker spaniel a couple years ago I knew I couldnt replace him at all but I did get another dog right away...it eased my pain and gave me something else to think about..the pain was unbearable but a new puppy made my life whole again...to each their own and you will know when you are ready..I knew I could never have another cocker again so I changed breeds..although I dont think Ill ever be able to live without a yorkie in my life again lol..I am sorry for your loss and I know the pain you are feeling right now..

I'm so sorry for your loss. Remember, our hearts are big enough to love many, so you wouldn't be replacing Fifi's spot, you would be opening another spot for a different little furbaby to love. Fifi will always have her special spot. Yorkies are wonderful therapy for grief. Hugs.

LunasMomma · 02-24-2008, 04:48 AM

I'm so sorry

When our Starr died, my hubby insisted on getting another Yorkie pup immediately. I hated the idea and said I never wanted another dog, ever again

But having Luna really helped me

I am so sorry for your loss. Everyone is different when it comes time to get another baby to love, you will know when the time is right for you. It does help me having a puppy to take care of.

Sorry for you loss! Praying for fast healing and hopefully a new baby to love

I lost my Evey on Valentine's Day this year so it hasn't even been 2 weeks. My husband and both of my girls (they are 19 and 21) have told me I need another girl. I have 3 boys still. Right now, every time they mention it I just fall apart. The thought of even looking at another little girl just breaks me down. But somehow I know in my heart that Evey would want me to give that kind of love to another little girl- I am just not ready. I don't know when I will be. Besides my husband, she was my very best friend in the world. I loved her more than most people, as odd as that may sound. I cry now as I type this. If you are ready than it's okay - you will know when. You're not trying to replace that baby, just wanting to give someone the love you have to give. I guess I will be ready when I can look at another little girl without breaking down. I am thankful for my boys but I know exactly what you mean - a huge hole was created when I lost her. I thought I had alot more years with her. You will know if you are ready and it is a personal choice. I just know that Evey wouldn't want me to hold back all the love I have - she would want me to share that again. But there will never be another Evey. I cry every morning on the way to work and every night- 2 or 3 times before its bedtime. My grief is so deep that it wouldn't be fair to that little girl my family is insisting on me looking for.

Please accept my condolences. I am so sorry.My heart is so with you and and whatever you choose to do. I will say this much for you are in good company on YT. I lost my Grizzley Bear in October and I must say. I so am with Evey's Mom for I do it. I don't think it will ever go away.I so miss him every day.The other evening I had the JOY come back to me when I met another Yorkie. Just pure Yorkie fun and love he was.I could not have did that a month ago..So.. I am getting better for this site and the kind words they have for their babies have helped me.Great topics.Awesome Information. Kind People.They love their babies. I have been fortunate to correspond and share stories with some really kind people. I wish I could all of them.

My thoughts will be with you and I am sending warm hugs your way to comfort you. Please stick around.

We lost our Newman this past summer to cancer. He was ten years old. We had other Yorkies but it still wasn't the same without our Newman. I think you'll know when the time is right. Sometimes the time picks you and not the othe way around. Lilly came to us a month after losing Newman. We had could not bring ourselves to get another and so decided that we would stay with just what we had, but then along came Lilly. Lilly was 13 weeks old and in rescue. They had over 100 applications on her (Which I did not know at the time) and I simply inquired about her and three days later I was driving to meet her and bring her home. I believe with all my heart that Newman knew how much I loved and missed him and he sent me Lilly. Newman was our only male Yorkie and he was our first. We were very partial to females and although I love all my babies I have a special place for the tiny ones. Newman sent me just that. He sent me a female - a tiny female and he knew that my heart belonged to rescue so he brought her to me through just that "Rescue." Lilly is now 9 months old and full grown at just under 3 lbs. I still grieve for my baby but every time I hold Lilly I feel like he is with me. I think when it's the right time - that time will find you. Your Yorkie will find you and you'll know that that is the right one. Elaine

I am so sorry you lost your furbaby! You will know when the time is right.

TommiGirl · 02-24-2008, 09:46 PM

Sorry for you loss! Hope your heart heals soon.

Do not make any decisions while it is still new to you.

I really feel sad for you. I would fall apart!

luckylady · 02-26-2008, 03:16 AM

I am so sorry for the loss of your yorkie. I dread the day when one of mine go to rainbow bridge; I know it will be unbearable. I believe when that time comes I will more than likely get another very soon...as you said not to replace the one that is lost....but because I love this breed so much that I could never be without one.
(((((hugs to you & your family))))
