I know exactly what you are going through. I just lost my yorkie around June, he was 16 1/2 years old. Isn't it wonderful that we had them that long? You just don't hear of dogs living that long and I thank God everyday for letting me have him as long as I did. I still cry when I think of him, I miss him so much, but I think of all the good times we had and all the kisses I got from him, and believe me there were sooooo many of them. He is resting in his own yard now. The yard he played in for over 16 years. I know the past few months was really hard for him, he was blind and couldn't hear and his joints hurt him to where he couldn't even walk that great and when it came to that, we decided that it was time to let him go. I know it is very very hard but it was the best thing for HIM. We did everything we could, certain dog foods, arthritis medicines everyday and all the love you could imagine. It was just time, I think we held on to him for our benefit more then his. Now he is in doggie heaven playing with all the other Yorkies. I will never forget him and I thank him for all the joy he brought us but I know in my heart I will see him again and that is what makes it so much easier for us.
