I'm now into my 2 week with my new Yorkie puppy. I only had one. Hopefully this will help. I love this guy with all my heat and he is quite a handful. I'm now so tired at bedtime I rest better.
Just devote all you engery, love, dictation to your little girl. She so terribly needs her mommy.
Prayers your way |
I am so sorry to hear about you losing your first Yorkie when he was only 7. I was feeling so cheated that mine died at 10 1/2 of a bad bacterial infection (exact cause never determined), and then I read your story. I am so sorry. For me it has only been 7 weeks and I am still pretty torn up and emotional about it. I had virtually no sleep the first three weeks and I lost 14 pounds. I am able to eat one meal a day, and I do that at dinner when my husband and son are at the table all together. I too had my precious Baxter cremated. However, my husband had to go pick up his ashes at the vets. I think I seriously might of fainted at the reality and realization that he was acting like a perfect healthy 2 year old puppy (not the 10 1/2 yrs he was) a few weeks before he got sick and then having to pick up his ashes was too much to bear. I started to look on sites at urns and stuff, but it was just too hard. I will have to do it when I am more at peace with what happened. I told my husband that I wanted him to put the ashes somewhere safe and loving in the house, but I still have not even seen how the ashes came home. It would just be disasterous for me to see right now. I am sure when I do, I will be doing exactly what you do, talk to them, kiss them and the pictures and cry. The love was so intense that they truly feel like your children.
I am glad to hear that your new little Yorkie is keeping you busy (and tired). What was your Yorkies name? And what is the new ones name? I have a 6 year old female that we have to keep busy since she has only known life since we brought her home at 12 weeks old with Baxter, because he was 5 years old when we brought her home. So I am sure she is feeling lonely. That does help to keep our minds busy and not just sitting numb and frozen in grief like I did for nearly 3 weeks.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, words of comfort for me, and your compassion. I sincerely appreciate it. If you don't feel like writing back, maybe too painful to write about, I completely understand. Thank you!
