Oh i'm so so sorry this happened to you..must have been a terrible thing to witness ((hugs))
I lost my 14 year old Yorkie girl last year and it broke my heart to have to make the descision to take her to the vet..I got Pixie about 4 months later and i was more than ready to love another little baby..she has certainly put the smile back on my face.. Stay in touch.

She was startled by a loud noise and jumped out of her bag, ran across the street and was hit by a car. I have been devastated. I have all her pretty clothes, toys, etc. I still have not buried her ashes as its been too difficult. She brought me so much joy. She went everywhere with me. I am self-employed so she was my constant companion. I was going to wait awhile before getting a new puppy to love. I wanted to honor Bella in that way. I feel I know yorkies pretty well as I had researched, studied, talked to people, before getting Bella. I had not trouble potty training her, she was calm, playful, and well-behaved. This is why yorkies are my favorite and I would like to have one again. Everyone loved her. Is it anyone's opinion that it is too early to get another one this year? Nothing will ever replace my little Bella and she will always be in my heart. I come home everyday, live alone, and my home is empty without her energy. I can't listen to music as it makes me cry. I wonder if anyone out there has been through a loss like this. Don't want to depress anyone, just asking.
Heart-broken yorkie owner who is healing,

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. How devistating! I havent read the other replies, but I wanted to say I dont think it is too soon to get another pup. It is not dishonering Bella and nobody will ever replace her in your heart.

Bella was cute at everystage but the time but when she was a baby, what can we say, Irresistable just like your picture of your baby. I went to the breeder to look and just had to have her.
Thank you and for all the nice people on this site. I only wish I had found you sooner. The one day I posted I have received over 30 messages of concern, kindness, sharing, and understanding. Its helped me more than you know.

14yrs. old is impressive. I hope my future yorkie will live that long and have a happy life as I am sure yours did. Glad you found Pixie.
Thank you!

the grief you feel. I have also lived with a sudden loss and it hurts still, but the good memories are slowly taking of the hurt. It has been 7 months since I lost my Bonnie and although I do have another yorkie Cricket, I am now thinking of getting another puppy...but not just yet...I am still in the "just thinking about it" stage.
You will know in your heart when the time is right to get another puppy.
Follow your heart.

Everyone handles grief differently. Some need another pet as soon as possible. Some need to wait a while. Some will never get another. Everyone handles it differently. If you feel the need to get one right away, you should do that. You would definitely not be replacing her but would be giving yourself another baby to love. If something every happened to Lacy I know I would feel the need to have another soon afterwards...I have just gotten so used to haveing a dog and love her so much that I would just need to keep that in my life.

Ditto!
I lost my little Yorkie boy on Jan. 2 of this year. The same thing happened to him. He bolted and was hit by a car. It was horrible.
That very day, my husband said, "I'll get you another dog honey" I was offended, but he was only trying to help. He loved Peanut too.

Anyway, just a few days later, my Dad called and said he wanted to get me another Yorkie, but to give me time, he found a breeder who's puppies wouldn't be born until later that month and couldn't come home until Spring.

I couldn't help but be excited about a puppy and it really did help me. I still think about Peanut all the time. I cried the first day we brought Abby home, because I felt like I was betraying Peanut. It was silly. Abby hasn't replaced Peanut at all, I love her with all my heart though.

Just a week after we brought home Abby, someone offered to give us Daisy. Her family was divorcing. So we now have 2 yorkies.

As MyFairLacy said, everyone is different. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer than I did to get another Yorkie to love.

At first I didn't think I was ready but in no time she was snuggling and so playful it helped ease my heartbreak a tiny bit. If you feel ready, then it is the right time. I have lost my babies before and once waited one week and then I knew I needed to love another and got another one.

Hello:
Thank you for your words. What a nice breeder to have given you a new pup after the sad loss of yours. One of my biggest issues is that I spent so much on Bella and my income is limited as I am building a new business so I really can't afford to pay some of the high fees that people/breeders charge for yorkies. That may be reason in itself to wait awhile. I would love a new pup this year.
With God's grace I will be able to.

Please, allow yourself plenty of time to grieve -- one day you will think of your beloved Bellaluna and smile -- that's when healing begins..... hugs to you

So sorry your pet suffered from an illness as I know that must have been difficult for you. I feel she is at peace, health, and happy in her new life knowing how much you loved her.

I just read this thread... a sweet little boy looking for a forever home and he is so sweet... and the price is a steal....maybe you might want to check him out.. and look at his face and see if he melts your heart.. anne

Yes, I finally found it. I find this site a bit tough to navigate but I am new and it is large. I really want another female pet. Do not want to breed her just want her for my companion. I have all of Bella's pretty clothes in pink and such so a little girl will have a full wardrobe if she comes to me. Cannot afford one right now so will keep an eye out for one in the future, maybe around Sept. (if I can wait that long).
Thank you,
Bellaluna's mom

I'm so sorry for your devestating loss. I don't believe it is too early for you to get another baby. Bellaluna would want you to continue to share your love.

firstly im so sad for your loss hugs coming to you i lost my shi tzhu last june she was only 7 years and was my life she came everywhere with me
she helped me get through a divorce after 16 years married and she was with me when we met my new hubby and goldies new dad
it was jan this year before i could get another baby and when i went to local dogs home we saw joe and that was it our little yorkie is now our new baby
he will never take the place of goldie but so many things he does are just like goldie used to do
i think this is why the saying goes dog is mans best friend because when ever you need them to love or you need love yourself they are always there for you
my heart still cries for goldie but joe brings so much love
take care and when you have love to give do so x

I'm so sorry for your loss I too have lost a Yorkie girl, she was the light of my life and I (and my husband and daughter) were totally devastated. It just left such a huge hole in our hearts and lives when Starr died My husband insisted that we get another pup right away, but I never wanted to hurt like that again and fought him tooth and nail. Anyway, HE won and got Luna and I gotta say that he was right. Caring for her and keeping her tiny butt alive and eating didn't leave me much time to dwell on Starr's death, and helped me to remember all the good times with her, so that I could smile when thinking of her instead of bawling We now have Izzy also, because I didn't want her to be an only doggie like Starr was. I learned so much about caring for pups here, and there was SO much we did wrong with Starr, but of course we didn't have YT back then.

Everyone is different, of course, but having a new baby to love really helped my heart to heal, quicker I think than if we hadn't gotten her. The only thing I'd suggest with your new pup would be to purchase a carry bag that has the little strap and clip inside that attaches to the harness so that they can't jump out. They should all have those, and I'd steer clear of any bag that doesn't. Not criticizing at ALL, as I'd have never known that either before I found this wonderful site!

Welcome to you and I hope that as time goes by, your heart will heal
