|  [News] Joan Rivers Admits Yorkie Saved Her From Suicide Joan Rivers has confessed her pet dog saved her from suicide. The acid-tongued comedienne was so depressed after her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, took his own life she considered killing herself. But her beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Spike, stopped her by jumping on the gun she was planning to use. Joan revealed: "Dogs know when you are in pain." Tragically, Spike died two years ago at the age of 18 - and Joan is still struggling to come to terms with his demise. She confessed to Britain's Weekend magazine: "He was my friend to the end. He died in front of a fireplace where he had lain for a month on an old fur coat he liked. After two years I wasn't over his death. "Then my vet called to say, 'I've got a dog who's been mistreated. Can you help me? It will take your mind off Spike.' And that was my Pekinese. But someone you love can never be replaced." http://people.monstersandcritics.com..._through_grief |

|  Rainbow Bridge and the long wait to see them again.. Quote:
 Pets give you so much and in return...truly only want to be loved- O.K..maybe a kibble or two..lol  I can't imagine my life without one of these wonderful spirits in it. I had a minature poodle for 19 years...her loss was a hard one. I think when you have one that long...you feel safe and the world feels o.k. because once you walk back in your home..that constant companion and love is there.  ..Its memories are surrounded by milestones in your life...like newlywed marriage, many army moves, babies, kids going to college. But when they have to go...and we remain..its very hard...you miss them...  I still swear I hear the jingle of her tags some nights. Life goes on...and never can you replace.....but you can love another with a different part of your heart.. I got a new toy poodle 2 months after Cheyenne died...and she was a different color...Cheyenne was black...Annie our new baby was apricot....We named her Broadway Annie. That is my Tribute to her in my Name here on Yorkie Talk ...."Annadoodle". We use to call her Annadoodle the poodle... She was the cutest dog and so smart. Well..I lost her very fast. She had AIHA and apparently had it all her life...(auto immune hemiolytic anemia) We never knew...Her 3 yr. old shots put her into total auto immune collapse..we did a blood transfusion..it did not take...The vets did everything they could we lost her two days later at the age of just turning 3. I thought I'd die~ All pet losses are hard...can't say one is harder than the other. But, Cheyenne did live a full life...and Annie's was shortend...I think that is the hard part. Not understanding why... Everything happens for a reason...I do believe that... **** I'm out of the poodle business... I have my new little love you all see here today...her name is Sophie and so different from a poodle breed...its good for me...She makes me laugh.  ..and is the best company and friend...  *** I hope Joan Rivers did get another pet..I wasn't sure if she took the pekinese...but her life is different without Spike..and Because of him...in a tribute to him..she should love another wonderful dog...they give us so much in our lives...hard to explain..but I'm sure dog lovers here understand. I like Joan Rivers...always have...and that comedy does cover some hurt she has..she will say anything...But I'm proud of her...she is a survivor... Thanks for sharing that with us....

| As I always said , humans can betray you but a dog will never . No matter if a person is poor , rich , sad or happy , the dog will always be happy to see that you are there . |

| I know what you mean. My dogs helped me through my husband's ordeal with his heart attack. I knew I had to come home and have some kind of routine for them and when I would laid down to rest - they all piled up on top of me and showered me with kisses and then just laid down tight next to me. I felt safe and felt loved. They were there for me. I love each and everyone of my babies forever! T. |

| Joan Rivers had one of the funniest stories I have heard about Spike and his "lover".. Seems he had fallen totally and completely in love with a ............pink slipper. Her name? Lolita. She had to be hidden when company came because Spike would find her and have his way with her right in front of everyone. She wrote of one of the times when Lolita was not hidden well and Spike and LOL proceded to have a sex orgy during the dinner hour.. |
