Yorkie Talker | how to cope? I dont know who to talk to about this ,I hope this is the right place.I adopted my minature yorkie ,Minnie last year ,we were told she was 17 when we got her altho our vet suggests she cud be 14 years ,only!She has one tooth left and artiritis. She is the love of my life though,she goes everywhere with me , she sleeps in my bedroom and wakes me up at 5am for her breakfast every morning ,I dont even mind Im that besotted with her ! Even on the days she is ill or off form I drag my matress onto the floor so she can sleep beside me ( the bed is to high and I cant bring her up incase she falls off) . I dont travel to far incase she needs me ,I know I sound crazy but I absolutly adore her! The thing is latly I have realised that her days will be comin to an end soon and eventhough I cherish every single second with her I find myself in floods of tears at the thought of ever loosing her . Is there anybody else out there with old yorkie and how do ye cope with the prospect of loosing them ?. thanks for listening xx |

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | What a wonderful Blessing for Minnie that you have given her a Loving home & Mommie! It sounds like she has also given so much back! Bless you Both! I'm hoping & praying that Minnie will share lots more time with you. It's something we are never ready for to let them go, but of course we Never want them to suffer. I'm glad u r sharing yr story. Hoping others will share their similar stories with you as well. HUGS!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | It is very difficult to see our babies sick and frail. I lost my pom in February and while I knew she was sick and would not be with me a long time, I was just devastated when she passed. Time and memories get you through and the great people on here that offer support. It sounds like Minnie has had the best year of her life and I hope has more good years with you.

| One minute at a time I think you cope one minute at a time, then one hour at a time and then one day at a time, but they are in your hearts FOREVER. I lost my first Yorkie 13 years ago and I think about her all the time. I am losing my Kaci, right now, just waiting, and I think I am going to lose my mind. But I try to hold on to all the happy times we have shared and the 10 years that I have had with her. I would not change one minute, and I will happily do the pain for all the sweet wonderful memories I have of her. Basically that is what you do to cope, you remember the life that you gave her, and the love that she gave you. I know the feeling you are talking about, through the years I have looked at her and cried many times, thinking what will I do without her. I am still not sure, that I will ever be able to sleep at night. She is always right there and has been for 10 years, she sleeps on my pillow, but I do know there is nothing I can do to change where we are right now. I have researched, the vets have done all they can do, I have asked God for a miracle, and I am still hoping that happens. Bur just cherish every moment you have with your Angel, and the memories will sustain you in the end. I hope this makes sense. Linda |

| I lost my 13 year old boy last year to cancer. Even though I knew he was very sick and that he had little time left, I still wasn't prepared to say that final good-bye. I cried for weeks after Chipper passed on and it wasn't until I decided to get another Yorkie was I able to start to move forward. I never thought I could love another baby like I did Chipper but I love my Piper just as much as I did him. She brings such joy back into my life.

| Cherish the time the two of you spend together and don't think about the what if's. Everything comes to an end sooner or later and we as human's have to find a way to deal with the pain when it comes. Don't take away from what you have now. Continue on and do what the two of you do best. Play and love each other. It sounds like your a wonderful Mommy and your baby loves you to death. Enjoy every minute of the time you spend with her and don't let the worries of later interfere with that happiness. When the time comes you will manage in your own way and YT is here for support. Make memories daily and those memories are what will get you through the hard times down the road. Believe me, I know. Bless the two of you and just enjoy each day. |

Yorkie Talker | thank you for this advice , your right I have to stop thinking about that and live for the moment with her . you never know she could suprise me and live for another good while ,please god!I cant praise animals ,dogs in particular enough,they are s loyal and effectionate ,its truely moving! Minnie brightens my days so much ,she can be such a brat today for instance I came home to find her in the bag of cat food , over indulging,I laughed so much ! I cant understand why people abandonned her in the first place though ,she has the sweetest face, most vivacious personality and is such a little charmer . |

| I think you're a wonderful person for adopting her at that age. Most people woundn't. I can't bare to even think about my babies dying. It must be so hard. I'll pray for you and her.
