My world has turned upside down - YorkieTalk.com Forums

YorkieShadow · 01-18-2009, 02:32 PM

and I just dont know what im going to do. Im so very sad, depressed, missing my Minnie and I just cant stop thinking about her. I have stopped trembling. but nothing will ever be the same.
Mickey had a really rough time last night, it was so sad.
Sence Minnie died hes been really clingy to my husband. but still running over to me to give me lots of kisses.But hes been laying and looking out the front window alot. I no longer have Yappy Yorkies, I now see that Minnie was my Yappy one and Mickey just followed in.
well Last night I decided to give mickey his bath. way over due I might say. and its been 9 days sence we lost Minnie. well Not thinking . after bath time that is Mic and Mins fav time, Mickey would have his bath first and wait for minnies to be done then the chase was on. I would always say get him Minnie and they would run her chasing him an dwhen she caught him they would wrastle all over the floor. well once Mickeys bath was done, he took off, looking back and then he would run again. then he would just sit there looking at me.
he then ran room to room , I know he was looking for Minnie.
he looked so confused and so sad. I was sitting down on the chair and he stood up to look in my lap. then would just stare at me. I trie dto comfort him, but he would run away. He then looked over the whole house even looking under the stove, got in the toy box and dug through all the toys. I think he was looking for Minnies ball.well I know he was, under the stove is where Minnies ball always ended up. later that night I told Mickey come on its bed time, we both laid down. him in his reg spot tucked in behind the folds of my knees. Then all of a sudden he jumped up and looke dover my leg to where Minnie always had laid with me. he did this a few times before finaly settling down for the night. It was like for some reason it all hit him and he knew he is now all alone.and It just broke my heart to see him like this. We were suppose to go out to a Family dinner today, But I cant, I dont want to leave him like that.

awww i'm so sorry your having to go through this. i know the pain must be unbearable at time.

i wish i had some words that would help you feel better besides just trying to love on Mickey.

I hope you feel better and sending lots of prayers your way.

sending a hug your way to try to help you feel better.

marcerella02 · 01-18-2009, 02:46 PM

wow... my heart is breaking for both you and Mickey. He must feel so lost. Was he able to see her before or after she passed away? I've read that dogs benefit from seeing either a person or animal after they have died to help them register what has happened. If he wasn't able to do that you should try researching animal grief online and see what you can do to help his transition. I think it is really important that you not leave him for any extended period if you can help it. It might cause more anxiety than he is going through. Maybe when the time is right for you both you can add another puppy into the house, he seems to be a dog that thrives from other dog company. I am thinking and praying for you both. I hope this time of grief can transition into a time of peace and happy memories.

My heart goes out to you...i am so sorry that you are in such pain in your heart. It is amazing how our pets become such an important part of our lives...I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom that would comfort you, but all i can say is that in time I know you will find peace in your heart and will have only the wonderful memories of Minnie to comfort you. I will keep you in my prayers for God to heal your broken heart...and Mickies too! God Bless!

I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through. Last August I lost my 10 yr. old Newman to cancer and then this August I lost our 17 month old Jersey (Who my boys brought home to heal our hearts) to a brain abnormalty. I swore we were done with anymor. I stopped being involved with rescue etc. then along came Beans. Beans was living in a 9x12 plastic carrier and was amaciated. We've had him four months now and he's ours for good. He wasn't planned but I'm glad we have him. He has helped so much to heal our hearts and the hearts of our Yorkie girls. When the time is right another will come and although your new addition will never take the place of your Minnie he or she will help to fill the void you and your family feel, including little Mickey's. Praying for you and your family. Elaine

Yes he was right there when she died and we let him sniff on her. and again later before we buried her, he had sniffed her and ran shaking and hiding under my desk.

pepe mint · 01-18-2009, 03:06 PM

awwww, i'm so sorry. that just breaks my heart. I can't imagine how helpless you feel. I know time will heal some of the hurt and loneliness he is feeling, and you as well....but just the same, minnie will always be a big part of your memory bank and a very large part of your heart. i will keep you both in my prayers. I haven't been around much, so I don't know what happened with your baby...but I can sense the pain...and I will pray for you and your family!!!!

that's really great actually. I think it will really really help him as opposed to you taking her to the vet and not bringing her back- he gets that she has died and he is just showing you that he misses her.. which is of course normal. You helped him a lot by letting her see her after she passed away.
