Thank you so much for sharing your experience with others so that other babies don't have to suffer like your Roxie did. I am deeply sorry for the tragic loss of Roxie. My heart breaks for you, and I understand how great your loss and love are. I have not gotten over the loss of my Rainbow Bridge angels, but in time, the pain has lessened. I hope one day you can open your heart to another baby. My precious Ashley passed away almost three years ago. She was close to seventeen, and she was our world. We waited almost two years before bringing Katie into our lives, and she has brought so much love and laughter to our lives once again. I hope your pain eases each day and that the memories you have of Roxie help to heal your heart. My husband and I talk about our angels a lot, and they remain ever-present in our hearts. Katie has done so much to heal our pain, and she also reminds us so much of our other little girls. If you need our help, please reach out to us. We care and truly understand. |
Thank you for this so sweet post. I did get another baby girl yorkie the very next week after Roxie passed away. She was posted on Facebook and a friend of mine sent me the post. The way it all happened it was as if it was meant for me to have her. She was part of a breeding nightmare and she truly has never been given much love. She is coming out of this slowly at our house. I even think she might have been abused. She will never be treated that way here. She is extremely close to me and stays with me all the time. I must say I felt like I was betraying Roxie a little bit to get her so quickly, but Penny needed me and a good home and I certainly needed her. She has a totally different personality from Roxie, but there are a couple of common traits they have. Penny just has to learn to trust. She is around two years old the vet estimated, so very close to Roxie's age. Roxie had only turned three 8 days before her awful death. The way it all happened with Penny, it was almost like Roxie and the Good Lord above sent her to me. I have not stopped grieving for Roxie, I cry at least once each day. Sounds funny, but it's really the only thing that makes me feel better, it's like I wash out my heart for a few hours anyway.
