Thank you all for you prayers and concern for our little Maggie, but she was just so sick, she didn't make it. They worked so very hard, but she just kept getting worse. Her protein had dropped low and they gave her plasma on Thursday. She had a reaction to it so they had to stop. They gave her dex on Friday and tried again witht the plasma. This time they got about 9ml in her befor she spit up. We then tried to feed her again after about an hour, but she wouldn't even swallow. We had made the decision if she hadn't shown any signs of improvement by 3:00 that day, we would let her go. This was about 2:00 and it was just so obvious and she had only been getting weaker all day and I just couldn't stand to see her suffer any more. The doctors were so good and truly did everything they could for her. This has been such a sad experience for all of us. She was just soooo sweet. We definetly want to get another one. We will always love our Maggie because she was wonderful, and she sure let us know that we love the yorkie breed. Of course the breeder said they would replace the puppy "when they have one" and by S.C. law, they state we got her in, (I live in N. C.) they will reimburse up to half of what I paid for the dog towards vet bills if the dogs passes, which I will seek, but I don't know if I will get another dog from them. There are a couple of things I'm a little leary about. Plus, I just don't know that I want to wait for who knows how long to get one and for the potential hassle there may be, and there may not be, I don't know so Iam not trying to bad mouth the breeder at all.

Anyway, thank you all again for your support. I will keep reading your stories and information as I will have another yorkie baby sooner than later, I hope. The only thing is, my little girl wants to name the next one Maggie as well and I'm not so sure that is a good idea, but I suppose we will cross that bridge a little later. Maybe if I start suggesting other names... The only thing is, she called my mother Gama which is sort of why I wanted to name the puppy Maggie, kind of a play off Gama if you switch the letters around and her registered name was going to be something like Sweet as Gama's Kisses or something along those lines, which I never got to register her, so I don't know. Any thoughts?

I'll be talking to you guys again soon.

Gingi, I am so sorry for the loss of your little Maggie. As many others, I have been watching your posts to follow the progress on her. It is never easy to hear of these little furbabies not making it.

Rest in Peace little Maggie!

And, please do keep in touch with the forum .

Maddie-Rudy-Mom · 02-13-2005, 12:17 PM

I am so very sorry that Maggie passed away. She was brought to you for a reason, even for just a short while, she was loved and cared for more than some furbabies ever get a change to be. Maggie is at peace and not suffering anymore. Again I am so sorry for you and your daughter.................Cindy

Gracie'sMommy · 02-13-2005, 01:20 PM

I'm so sorry for your loss, Gingi. Maybe your Mom needed Maggie's company too. I hope you find peace in the two of them being together.

(((hugs))))

My heart goes out to you & your family! Such a sad day..so sorry! When you look up to the stars, you'll notice that the smallest stars always shine the brightest...this is your Maggie shining down her love & blessings! She is at peace.
more hugs!

I am truly sorry for your loss. I know how you feel. This time last year I got my Max who was sick from day one. After two months of constant vet visits, hospitalizaton, I lost him. I mourn his loss to this day. Prayer and hugs, good luck in your search. I was blessed with my two boys about four months after the loss of Max, not good examples of the breed, but the loves of my life.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my pet cat Quid and it was devastating for me, especially since he only lived to be a few weeks old. But it took me a long time to get a pet after that...I got Archie a year later. Even though I had Quid only for 3 weeks or so, I learned about how much love I can have for a pet and a pet can give me. Maggie loved you and although it was time for her to go, you were there to love her and take care of her. Rest in peace, Maggie.

iheartyorkies · 02-14-2005, 06:41 AM

Gingi, I am so so sorry for your loss. I will pray that you gain comfort from your memories of how sweet little Maggie was. I'm sure our most beloved pets go to heaven, can't prove it of course, but why else would God give us such a strong love for them?? Anyway, good luck in your search for another baby!

ldenise · 02-14-2005, 09:38 AM

I so sorry to hear about maggie. Heavens little angel!

Babbie · 02-14-2005, 09:43 AM

I am so sorry

At least we know that Maggie is not in pain anymore and she is looking down on you and smiling, thanking for all the love you gave her. Pure little animals angels, like Maggie, don;t need to stay in our life forever to creat an impact, they are so perfect and blessed that sometimes their mission is a fast one, they just touch us in a way that is hard to explain...they just and simply teach us what love is. That was her gift to you and i know you will cherish forever...

Lauri · 02-14-2005, 12:24 PM

Gingi,

Just a thought. Maybe it would be nice to have a photo of Maggie enlarged to fit into a table frame and then buy a nice sented candle that you can place next to it, maybe on an end table or fireplace mantle for example. When you think of Maggie, or when she is brought up in conversation, light the candle for Maggie in memory of her and I feel you and your family will find this a comforting measure when you are heart hurting over your loss.
The firelight would reflect beautifully off the glass in the frame, especially in the evenings, giving the photo an almost surrealist view and lending beauty to your furbaby who was so beautiful to you in life, and now in your hearts and through her spirit.
I too believe that our beloved pets go to heaven. I can't even begin to imagine a God that created all of the creatures of the universe not understanding and knowing our need to be rejoined with all that we have loved throughout our lifetimes. Many believe that only humans because of our soul find our way to heaven in the end. Everyone has their own beliefs and I support everyone and their belief in God, or their choice not to believe. However, for me, I find immense comfort in believing that I will one day again see all that I loved here in my lifetime and spend my eternity wrapped in the warmth of their love.
Just my thoughts.

Junebug · 02-14-2005, 06:36 PM

I'm so sorry to hear about Little Maggie. I'm sure you gave her the best life you could while she was here.
