Tragic News

[LAD]

I know how you feel, I did the same thing = rush out to get a new pup to ease the pain. It will take time. It has been over two years that I lost my best friend April's Bean at 13 1/2 years old. She was 2.5 lbs and was "fearless' and travelled everywhere with me.
STAR is now 2years old and I LOVE her, but sometimes (rarely) call her April and I am soooo sad now thinking of April (I try to avoid thinking of her).
STAR is "fearful" = hates to go of her home! I feel bad that I took her away from her sibling. We "pet sit" for friend's dogs and STAR loves the company, as April also did.

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. tragically, accidents happen, which keeps me so scared much of the time with my baby. I know that even in the house it can happen, and we can't punish ourselves when it happens. I'm sorry this happened, and know that you did not do anything wrong.....I know that you need compassion right now not a lecture............

My heart and prayers go to you and I know that your new baby will never replace the little soul that was lost. But the good news is we can have more than one dog in a lifetime, and that you can create something new with this new soul that has been given to you to cherish.

Pray for the thoughts and memories of the accident to leave, and be replaced with the good memories of the time you had with your baby. Although it was too short, it was ever so sweet................Love, Darcey

As for the new pup, I think it's different for everyone as for the amount of time they give themselves before they get a new furkid. When we had to help our Appollo to heaven, I waited 3 months. For 3 months I grieved so hard, tears everyday, but finally, not hearing the pitter patter of a furkids paws on our floors just drove me nuts. I'm an animal lover through and through and as long as I live and am able to care for a furkid, I know we'll have them. When we finally got another furkid, at first I felt guilty, like I was being unfaithful to Appollo, then one day the peace finally set in and I was able to give my heart to this new furkid. I knew the love we gave Appollo was special and he adored us, he wouldn't have wanted us to deprive another furkid of that kind of love. I came to love Isaiah, but not as a replacement for Apollo, just as another angel that God blessed us with and sent into our lives to help our hearts heal and love again. Keelyn wouldn't want you to deprive a furkid of the special love you gave to her, she'd want you to give that love freely and make this new furkid feel as special and loved as you made her feel. It's gonna take time, but it is ok to love another furkid again.

Ditto on everything said here.

Your little Mya is blessed that you wanted another puppy to love and that you found her.

I agree with that and I'm so sorry for what your going through right now. These little yorkies might be small but their love is BIG. I'm sure your new little one's love will help you heal. Thoughts and Prayers are with you.

I can relate to your circumstance. A month ago my Lhasa Poo of 10 years suddenly became ill. I had to put her to sleep a few days before her 10th birthday and a day before our son's birthday. That's how I became a Yorkie owner, I still cry over Millie but Audrey-Belle is sweet. She is a 4 year old breeder release so she's not a spunky pup like our last dog. But she has come a long way since we got her and she isn't meant to replace Millie. But I know in time she will be as much my baby as Millie ever was. The family decided that I needed another dog, and I was still grieving so I wasn't sure. But I'm glad to have her even though I still cry over Millie some days. Hang in there, it just takes alot of time.

I know it will be a while before you get back to normal, in the meantime feel free to share your thoughts and ask for any advice!! We're all here for you
Keeping you and Keelyn in my prayers.

So sorry for your lose Hopefully it was instint, and she did not suffer. Congrats on your new baby and she will help in your healing process, I am sure. My Rosey delivered her first litter on 7/16/2008 and 3 1/2 days later we lost the "runt" of the litter, although he was not very old you do get attached real quick, I had to bottle feed him every 3-4 hours and losing him was had, but he is in doggie heaven and will always has a place in my heart, just like your baby will

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost Max last November to a coyote and was devastated - he was so much a part of our lives. Let yourself grieve however you need to. 3 weeks after he died, my husband had some friends who had just had a littler of yorkies and they talked us into coming over just to look, well, Abby licked my nose and I decided then and there I still wanted a furbaby in my life. We brought her home a few months later. She has her own personality and has not replaced Max, but has brought us so much joy. Please don't spend time feeling guilty, I went over and over the scenario in my mind - what I should have done if I could change things, but it only caused more pain. All you can do now is honor your baby's memory and love your new puppy.

The car didn't stop either.

I have worked in Emergency rooms were similar accidents have happened to children.
The underlying issue is accidents are accidents and we can't kick our selves for what we did or did not do. The loss of a loved one the pain of our loss is punishment enough. I think it would be a great idea to use tragic stories to help us be more aware of safety and maybe we can be more diligent in the future ourselves and pray for those who have lossed loved ones to heal.

nicely said!

To the OP i too am sorry for you loss!

All I can say is Im terribly sorry and I dont want to imagine losing any of my furbabies and even worse witnessing their death. The only advice I can honestly give is to make sure that your furbaby wears a harness everytime she goes outside to potty. My husband doesnt seem to mind to let Cookie our 4 yr old ,walk outside with him to the driveway without a harness! This is something that I DONT allow and I flipped out when I saw him just run out after my husband. It is a pain to have to put a harness or collar everytime on him but I keep imagining that something like this can happen to anyone.So I put a collar on him or a harness.
There is no other puppy that can replace your little girl but it may ease your comfort in the days ahead.
These little furballs STEAL your heart immediately.
