I know i would want another yorkie soon, but i feel i would be comparing to my Julz and it wouldn't be fair. I know Julz adn god will guide me when the time is right. How long before you got your new pups?
=Missiemiss;2303189]I lost my baby Roscoe in June to Kidney disease. He was 8.
The bad breath is one thing to "smell" for. The end of his tongue started turning white. He lacked energy and even tried to eat.
I had him on my bed one night as I was very upset that I was going to lose him. I laid with him and just cried and cried. He came up to me, slowly and snuggled in with me and I continued to cry. He just wanted to be so close. I wiped my tears and looked into his brown eyes and he talked to me. He didn't talk but his eyes told me that it was time. He told me he was so tired and he wasn't going to get better and I knew.
I took him in to the vet the next day and we ran tests - his numbers were off the charts. I called my family home and told them about our little Roscoe. All of them came home to be with him. We were there when the Vet injected him. We cried and loved him all the way until he crossed to the Rainbow Bridge. I knew he was there because his eyes were completely dialated. I knew at that point he had energy again and the love of a strong and healthy body.
I still cry, and am even as I type this. Each day I am outside with the other pups I go to his stone and tell him how much I love him and how much we miss him.
RIP my little Roscoe.
I know it's painful for you. I truly believe that our babies tell us when it is time. That was the 2nd Yorkie that I assisted - the first one was full of cancer at 16 years old. It will never get easy and with the kind of love they give me, I wouldn't want it to be.
Sorry this got so long. |

Oh hon - I'm so sorry. It does appear the end is near. Yes, God will guide you and so with Julz.
My hubby was concerned we would compare all dogs to Roscoe. I knew, by having Tyler before Roscoe, that it was not true. Dogs are social creatures and we still had Bear-Bear at home and he needed companionship. I got Gracie about 3 weeks after Roscoe made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Gracie is so very different than Roscoe. Froto, my little male, came afterwards. While he has some similar features as Roscoe his personality is so different (a "good" different). Then came our little Blair. She is NOTHING like Roscoe. Roscoe still is in my heart for his unique way. Yes, I do have 3 more Yorkies - they are about the same size, they all have hair, they all hate it when I cut their toenails (like Roscoe) but they are nothing like Roscoe. I do not feel bad about it as Roscoe has his own place in my heart that non of them can touch.
Know that my heart breaks for you in what you are going through. I would NEVER wish it on anyone because their love for us is unconditional as ours is with them. Roscoe and Tyler "told" me and I recognized it and know they did not suffer. ~ Missie
