| Having a bad day It has been almost 3 months since I lost my precious Jag. There has not been a day that has gone by that he has not been on my mind. I miss him sooo much. This time of year, the Spring season has been especially hard. I can be outside and it's like I can almost see him running full speed through the grass to me. Jag was so much more to me than a pet. He had been my best friend for 9 years. He had been right beside me through some of the most difficult, trying times I had ever gone through. He was my rock. He was there for me when I felt as if no one understood some of the things I was going through in my life. I've never had a truer friend! I feel like I didn't really get to even say a proper goodbye to him. His death was so sudden. I am thankful I got to hold him when he took his last breath. I honestly, don't think I will ever truly get over losing him. I know that time does help, but sometimes out of the blue that aching pain just hits you right back again. My husband doesn't want to get another yorkie. Jag was my dog for 7 years before we were married. We do have a cat that we have had for one year. Sometimes, I try to get our cat to snuggle with me, and he wants no part of it. He only wants to snuggle when HE wants to snuggle. I know that is just how cats are. You truly can't compare cats and dogs. I just miss my little fur ball that was always eagerly waiting to shower me with hugs and kisses. We don't have any children and I guess Jag was kind of like my "little one." I know I spoiled him and babied him to death and I don't regret it not one tiny bit! I know that I will never get over losing Jag and I'm bound to have more days like the past few I've experienced. I'm thankful for this site and for all of you that have helped me through this difficult time. |

| I'm so sorry... Do you want another pup? If so, get one. How could your husband deny you some happiness....in the end, I don't think he would. |

| I'm so very sorry for your loss. Maybe if you could say all of this to your husband he may understand more of how you feel. Sometimes it is easier to talk to "strangers" and let your emotions come through rather than the person who is closest to you. I can feel your pain and I understand what it like to lose a wonderful pet, it is truly a horrible thing to go thru. Sit him down and help him to understand what you are dealing with, it may be just what he needs to understand why you are wanting another little baby. hugs and good luck to you.

YT Addict | so sorry, that is so true, talk to him. I am sure he will break most men do!!! But the most important part of a new puppy is understand that you may get one that will never match up to the one you had. And it would be anything wrong with the puppy, but it is just like kids. I have 2 a girl and a boy and they are like night and day. I love them both with all my heart but in different ways. Just remember that. As for as the husband don't forget there is one thing that they want from us that we can with hold, to get our way, if you know what I mean. LOL (I thought you may need a laugh) LOL Just in case a talk don't work. Good luck, |

| I'm so sorry for the loss of Jag. I do know what you are going through. Last March I loss my 13 year old Yorkie Chipper to bladder cancer. The hardest thing I ever did was make the decision to let Chipper go. I cried and cried and when I thought I was cried out I started again. I didn't want another Yorkie because it wouldn't be Chip. After a couple months I realized I wasn't going to be able to move on until I got another baby to love. I started checking out breeders and found one that was due to have a litter in a few weeks. Finally I stopped crying and started moving forward. When the puppies were 6 weeks old I went and looked at the puppies. That's how Piper came into my life. All the puppies looked alike but this little girl kept running up to me, climbing in my lap and playing with me. I would pick up another puppy and she'd move right in. She seemed to be saying Pick Me!, Pick Me! A few weeks later I brought Piper home. I love this little girl just as much as I did Chipper. I'll always love Chipper and never forget him, but Piper has wiggled her way right into my heart.

| I think they are right, you need another pup. I think if you talk to your husband he will understand. We do always give in Ha Ha! I've only had Pocket for a couple of months now. I do understand what you mean he is always there for me always. Good luck.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | ! am so sorry to hear about Jag. I lost my little boy on Easter Sunday at 12 years old and I really know what you are going through. I have two little 5 year old Yorkies who are helping me get through this. I couldn't imagine losing George and not having my girls. I think I would be motionless. You need another pup. You will never forget Jag but without another pup the grief will immobilize you. Rest in Peace Little Jag and please find my Georgie to play with. |

| Ditto!!! I KNOW how you feel, and what you are going through with hubby. I'M SORRY I lost my Julz on Halloween, i had her for almost 15 yr. I had love in my heart to have 2 yorkies, b/c i knew it would be the death of her... we didn't.. I like you, don't have kids, she was my kid, my life, my heartbeat!! We knew the end was near during the last 2 mo of her life. I knew i had to start my research(breeders) then in order to save my own life b/c Julz death was going to be mine. The feelings, pain, emotions you are feeling now, became to unbearable for me. (Which became my husband's) I was stopping in pet stores just to hold one and be kissed on the face. We went to see our first yorkie, 2 wks after we put Julz to rest. The more we saw, the harder is was to go home to an empty house. We ended up falling in love w/ "DUDLEY" on NOV 17th . We went back a week later to bring him home THAT WAS NOV 22, we couldn't deny the love we BOTH felt. Words cannot describe what he means to us and how much he has helped the void. I don't know of a day gone by that i don't think of JULZ and how much i miss her. It's because of her that has allowed us to love Dudley. I hope your husband come to realize your pain (or soon it may become his) and find a place in his heart to allow another love in your lives.. Sorry this is long...

| I know how you feel. Some days I just miss my Baby Chloe so much. Good days and bad days. I am so glad that I have my other girls to make me smile. They can't replace Sis, but they do help ease the pain.

| I am sorry to hear about your pain. I just lost my 4 yr old Sweet Pea on Monday and I am crying everyday and struggle to hold it together at work. Maybe your hubby can let you get a new pup to hel.
