| Adonis took my heart with him. My poor baby had one hell of a year. Last November, 2 days after vaccines, he was diagnosed with Ataxia. May he was diagnosed with Renal failure. We were managing that fairly well with home made food. He went blind over the summer. Seems he had a harder time dealing with that than either of the other 2 things. Then he quit eating, and that isn't good for renal failure dogs. Went downhill as his creatinine level climbed. Got pretty bad. Couldn't hold anything down. I got him in 2001, and he's been with me through some pretty dark times. He was my heart and soul. I was praying he'd go on his own time, but things went south. I did NOT want to have to make that decision, but I had little choice. He'd shake really bad anytime he held his little head up. Too weak to walk. No quality of life left at all. Had all the really bad signs a dog could have with renal failure. I'm still numb, and keep looking for him. Picked up my car keys today, and looked at his bed, to see if his ears had perked. I'm somewhat better today, but yesterday was horrible. Venus is still with me. She's been loving on me a lot when I cry. I loved him so much, he was my life. Renal failure is a mean disease. I was going to attach a pic, but my file was too large. Really don't think what all that went on with him this last year, was fair. But nobody said life was fair. |

| I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to let them go. He is not suffering now. You will always have his good memories to cherish. R.I.P. sweet Adonis. Hugs.

| It's such a hard thing to see. Minnie died from renal failure also (actually, from a seizure caused by it). And she shook in pain any time she drank once she got it, which was tough because we had to feed her tons and tons of water due to her absolute minimal kidney function (we put chicken broth in the water to get her to drink a lot). I know what you mean about the car keys. It took a couple of weeks before I'd stop instinctively going around the house looking for her. I think I was up 40 hours straight after she died, and I had to make that same horrible decision you did. I mean it was the right one, but it just stinks having to choose between two really bad scenarios. Nothing in my life has been so painful, and the only thing that made it bearable for me was coming here and reading about people's yorkies and telling my baby's story. Reading about Paris the Blind Wonder Dog was the first thing that calmed me down enough to sleep. I guess it helps to talk about your great pup to all of us who really love yorkies. The kind of hurt you're feeling is just way too much to bottle up. Hugs, and RIP to your sweet Adonis.

| I'm so sorry you lost your little Adonis. I know watching him go downhill was painful for you. You made the choice to set him free and it was the right choice. My heart goes out to you in your grief.

| I am so sorry to read about the loss of Adonis.I know what you are going through been through it with my little Keally.She had IBD all her life and then had to make the decision to put her down due to a brain tumor.It was horrible and that was in January 2010.Life just is not fair for our babies at times and I sure wished we could have them with us for many years.Anyways remember Adonis knew you loved him and you did make the right decision.I hope Keally meets Adonis over the Rainbow Bridge they can run free waiting for us.Take care of and I hope you keep thinking of the wonderful times with Adonis.

| I am so sorry for your loss of Adonis. I know how very hard you tried and all that you did for him. Just know you made the best decision for him out of love. Adonis will forever be in your heart and he will most certainly be watching over you. Sending prayers for you.

| My condolences of the loss of Adonis. Boy, he sure seemed to give it his best fight during this past year. Poor darling! Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you peace in the coming days/weeks/months. In time may you see Adonis in happier times, and that you will be able to open your big heart to let another YT in. I'm sure he knew that you still have lots of love left. RIP Adonis. |

| I'm so very sorry you had to lose your dear little one. Remember they can't make the decision and they are counting on us to do it, it is our last gift of love, as much as it kills us to do it. You are in my heart and prayers, Joan

| My thoughts and prayers are with you. I can tell how much you loved your sweet baby and it's going to be so hard without him. It will be 4 years in Jan since I lost my sweet Heidi to renal failure and I still cry when I think about her. Take care of yourself and remember all the wonderful healthy years he had with you. Rest in peace Adonis. |
