| Today as I was getting the stockings out... I came across Peanut's stocking Peanut will be gone 1 year on January 2 and even though I have 2 beautiful little girls, they cannot take his place in my heart. Peanut came to us as a stray. He was a scruffy looking frail little guy the day he arrived, but it didn't take him long to become one of the most beautiful yorkies (in my eyes) that I've ever seen. He was so grateful to have a loving home, food and a warm bed. Peanut was not neutered when he arrived, yet he never lifted his leg in our house, ever. He didn't even have accidents. He didn't bark or beg for food. He was always just happy to be loved and seemed content no matter what. Oh how I wish I could go back and redo that whole day all over again, because maybe my Peanut would still be with me. I miss him so much. I don't know what to do with his stocking. Abby and Daisy have their own stockings and besides, I would never give his to them. Little Peanut, Mommy misses you so much. If I could change what happened I would. I loved you with all my heart little guy and I always will. I hope you are playing with Chloe and all your friends at the Rainbow Bridge. I will be there with you someday. You are forever in my heart. Thank You for everything Peanut Love, Mama

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Aww hon I am not sure what to tell you. Keep his little memory alive and enjoy those moments that you did share with him. It's very hard at the holiday's when we think of the ones we have lost.

| Tammy~ I am so very sorry for the loss of Peanut! We become so attached to these little guys because of how much joy they bring to us. How wonderful that Peanut had a loving home like yours and that he knew that kind of kindness. Would it be too difficult to go ahead and hang his stocking with your other fur kids....just as a way to honor him?? Hugs to you!! Tam |

| I'm sorry you're sad about Peanut. Maybe next Christmas will be a little easier. Try to just think of the good times. God bless you, and Merry Christmas!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Oh I understand completely....the Christmas after Trace died...I was getting out my Christmas things and there was his picture with Santa. My sweet boy. I displayed it any way and have every year since. I'd hang that stocking up if it were me. I'm very sorry about Peanut...

| Thank You ladies I did just that, I hung Peanut's stocking between Abby and Daisy's stockings. It's a bone shaped stocking that says, "My Puppy" and has a place for his picture. I need to slip the picture back in there. He was such a precious little soul. Honestly, I feel that he was one in a million. He was so tiny, yet he was mighty. I would give so much to have him back or to be able to hold him one more time. I just wish I knew, that he knew how sorry I am and how much I miss him. When he first died, I used to cry myself to sleep everynight and pray for the Lord to let him know how I felt about him. I just couldn't understand why he was taken from me like that. Now I feel as though Peanut taught me life long lessons that I needed to learn. I just wish I could have learned them some other way. Finding his stocking today was a jolt, but I was able to think about the good times. I think about him all the time anyway. It was just seeing something so tangible that was so hard. We buried all his toys and clothes with him, so I don't have a lot of reminders around the house. Sometimes I wish I'd hung on to somethings, but I wanted them to be with him. The day he died was so cold and I couldn't bear the thought of putting him in the cold ground, but we had to, so I wrapped him in my robe and his blanket. He loved to lay on my robe. I think he would have liked that. I'm sorry to go on and on. It just seems I can never get this out of my system. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this and reply. Thank You. I think he was my little Yorkie Angel. bchgirl, I'm sorry about Trace I so wish they could stay with us longer. Below are some of the last pictures I took of Peanut before he died.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | That's a cute reindeer. I didn't say I don't cry when I find Trace's picture every year, but I do. Trace was much loved here on earth and he loved us. I am certain Peanut knew too. I do thank God for Trace though...cause without Trace...there'd be no Ramsey, Reese, or Reggie.

| This thread brought tears to my eyes. Mahina's my first dog, but I can't imagine if anything happened to her. My cat passed away 3.5 years ago. I cried for a long time after he passed. And I still cry to this day and I miss him very much. I always remember the good things about him and those last moments we shared. I knew we had to take him to the vet and I knew we would have to put him down. So I went on the porch with him and I told him I loved him very much and he just gave me a lick on my had and sat with me. We didn't make it to the vet though, he died on the way there. It's so hard to lose a cat or dog or any animal, but they know we love them and always think about them.

Is Trace the father of your babies? I have to feel the same, because if it weren't for Peanut, I wouldn't have Abby and Daisy. He's in no way related to them but, he was my first Yorkie and it was only by chance that he became mine. After Peanut, I was hooked. Not only have I become a yorkie lover, I'm a dyed in the wool animal lover now and it's all because of him. I always liked dogs and cats and have always had them, but I had a special bond with Peanut. Before Peanut, we had a dog for 16 yrs, that I never had a bond with like I did Peanut. I can't explain it, it just happened. Now I feel that same bond with Abby and Daisy, same but different.. I'm so cautious with them, to point of almost being paranoid, but I can't go through that again. I will probably hang Peanuts Stocking up every year from now on. His pictures are still on a shelf over my couch. My sister in law said it's a shrine. whatever.. I guess we'll cry together at Christmas when we're getting our things out. Tammy

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Aww Tammy, hugs to you for your bittersweet reminder of Peanut. I know how you feel as we just passed the one year mark in late November of losing our good ole Alfie. Not a yorkie, but loved for 14 years. Glad to hear that you hung Peanut's stocking along with the girls'.

| i am so sorry for your loss. I went thru the same thing last week with my Christmas stockings. My little mini-poo, Sugar, had her own stocking and she also always had a wrapped gift under the tree which she always opened by herself. She loved the bows. it is a sad time of the year for me as well. |

| I never look at this section because it makes me sad. But something made me look at it today. I am so very sorry for your loss, I have had a few dogs and can't stand that they are gone. It is too sad for me. Their loss really does something to you. I will say a prayer for you and your beloved baby. It really just goes to show that life is too short. Enjoy your babies this Christmas. Hope Santa brings them what they want. Bless you. COCO PEBBLES TRIXIE Last edited by jmdt; 12-18-2008 at 04:07 PM. |

| I'm sorry I just had the same kind of thing yesterday, as we finally got the Christmas stuff down from the attic My Starr's stocking is hung right here by her memorial board in my office. It's been over two years now that she's been gone, and the second Christmas, and it still hurts so much She was so special, and it sounds like Peanut was the ultimate! BIG hugs to you

Thank You everyone It sounds like so many of us have lost our beloved pets. It's good to be someplace where others understand what a huge loss it really is. Yesterday wasn't a good day. I found myself crying again last night while I was going to sleep, but today is better and I will try to enjoy the memories and my darling little girls. Thanks again for understanding I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
