I have such a hole in my heart and I don't know how to shake this sadness off. It's been exactly one week since we had to let Joey go ( he had a broken neck). Part of me wants to replace him (though no one could take his place) and part of me is terrified to have another little dog. At least my labbies are huge and sturdy. But I really loved feeling Joey's soft little body on my lap and having him to hang out with me wherever I went. I just want to feel better, and be able to enjoy my memories of him. I want to be my normal cheerful self again... not only for my own sake but for my husband and kids. I feel so non-functional these days....

So how do you all (who've loved and lost) get through it?

OMG, Debbie, I did not even know he is gone . . .where have I been ?! Oh poor baby . . . he's so adorable . . . I am so glad I will always have him on my website . . . gosh, remember I even asked if you would like to join us for our next playdate (when I come visit this June) and you declined because you feel he is too fragile even to be with other yorkies. . . I am so sorry for your loss! But you know, in order for you to move on, I hope you will consider getting another yorkie . . . perhaps even naming him Joey Jr. in honor of him . . that way you will always remember him and will feel that you have 2 yorkies in just one body . . .

My heart goes out to you . . . .
