I feel your pain because I lost my little 6 month old Mya to an accidental drowning. I wanted to die too because she was my constant companion who was by my side every second of the day. Everyone told me to get another & I felt just like you - unsure if that would disrespect her in any way but that feeling of lonliness was too much & I felt that she would want me to share all that I had to give with another so I did not wait but a few weeks and we got Lexi who is nothing like her but helped with the pain tremendously!

Oh, I am so sorry for your tragic loss. In her short life I can tell she was deeply loved and I'm sure she felt it too.
You will know when you are ready for another. There is no right or wrong time to do it; it's totally up to the individual. I know I would probably get another as soon as I could, not to replace the yorkie I lost, but to fill the empty void I would surely feel.
Hugs & good luck in your decision.

I am sorry for your loss.:girl_hug:

Dearest Belinda:

I read your story about your darling yorkie. It happened to me also. Last year I had a tiny maltese baby in her crate. I should have never left her alone for 7 hours. I had to take my friend to the hospital for an operation and wait until it was over. I should have taken the baby doggie with me. Well, when I came back her tiny neck was stuck under the rail and she had become stuck. Apparently she had choked to death. I screamed bloody murder and tried to revive her but she was gone. I cried for days and days and couldnt get it out of my mind for a long time.

I got my little Boobah and then I decided I would get another yorkie companion for her, Gina. Gina arrived from Florida. When we went to pick her up at Los Angeles Airport, I had to go through all kinds of procedures to get her. Finally I picked up her little crate and all I saw was this tiny head bobbing up and down. She was so little, apparently she had a turbulent flight because she had thrown up. Poor thing coming from one coast to the other. I take both of them to the doggie park and they love it. I love them every waking hour and every minute of the day!

But your heart will heal over this, accidents happen, I know that is easy to say but listen to your heart like I did. I went out and got another dog some time later and now I have 2 darling daughters!!

With kind regards,

Accidents
 

Gelise:
Thank you for sharing your moving story. Accidents do happen and its so hard not to blame ourselves. I always had Bella on her leash or with me, she even had a car seat with a seat belt. The day she died she had been on her leash but for the moment it happened, I had let her sleep in her bag without her leash on for some comfort. I think we often think they would not be comfortable with a leash. He leash would have protected her that day. So, in the future, I will be more mindful of this. Sometimes we do things that don't treat our babies like dogs. We feel they are like our children. We must remember they are dogs first. By treating her more like a dog on that fateful day, she might still be alive.
I am feeling like having another one sometime this year.
I saw a woman yesterday at an upscale mall and on the back of her car she had a sign that read,"Yorkies For Sale". My heart started pumping. She got out of the car and was holding this adorable puppy. I was on my way to an appt. and could not park close to her. I was hoping she would still be there when I got out. She was not. Not meant to be. Timing is everything.
So sorry for your loss and glad you have a new family. Thank you for your words, they mean alot. We had beautiful weather here in Austin this weekend and I teared up alot as I would have loved to take Bella to some new walking spots I have discovered. She was my source of excercise too.
