Dexter
 

I am so sad and jealous of all of you. I am sitting here reading all of the cute stories and I have nothing to share. My poor puppy died. Even though he was only with us a month, he touched my life so much. I am crying like a baby right now because I miss him so much. He didn't do much but the one thing he loved so much was to be hugged and cuddled. I would pick him up and hold him on my chest and he would get close to my neck and just snuggle up to me. He loved being close to your heart. I would lay on the ground and have my hands folded and he would stand there looking at me and wait until I opened my arms to him. The second they opened, he would walk right in and put one paw on my arm and his face resting on it too and fall asleep cuddled up to me. I wish I could have one more minute of that. I can't beleive he is really gone. I am in shock and I can't even think straight. The pain of my loss is so unbeleivably raw! I want you all to value each day. Not only for the beautiful animals in our lives, but for everything. Take nothing for granted. From the kiss your dog gives you to the kiss you give your child. Every moment is a gift from above. Thank you all again for your support!

So sad for you!!!
 

Dear Dexter's Mom,
My heart absolutely aches for you and little Dexter. I know that someday i will hurt too but i absolutely dread the thought of it. When i even think about it, it brings tears to my eyes and tremendous pain to my heart. We are all here for you in this time of need. I'm sure Little Dexter is looking down on you with a big smile on his face knowing how much he was loved and missed. He will always have a place in your heart. Take those memories you have of Dexter and treasure them always. Hope you can fell better soon !!! Keep your chin up and rest assuringly knowing that little Dexter is not hurting anymore!!! God Bless you !!! HUGGGGGSSSSSSSSS & KISSSSSESSSSSS!!!! :(

Yes, it's just as if a human baby died, I can see how you got so close in just a month. Did he die of a disease or an accident? May little Dexter rest in peace in Yorkie heaven now.

Oh Dexter's Mommy, you are in shock, that's ok. Don't expect to be healed immediatley as all this takes time.

I cried everyday for months over the loss of Half-Pint, I had her for only a week. Trust me, as time goes by you will be experiencing so many emotions and don't fight them. You will be sad, angry, guilty, then sad again, then angry again. This will go back and fourth for quite some time.

I am only telling you this because I truly know what you are going through. I didn't know about Yorkietalk back then, you have been blessed to be able to tell others how you feel and comfort your feelings over your loss.

Take your time in Dexter's loss, eventually it will get easier, I promise you this.

Eventually your heart will heal better and you will all of a sudden be at peace with knowing Dexter is in doggie heaven not being ill anymore. And a space in your heart will be opened to love another Yorkie baby. But, right now you are grieving and take all the time you need to do so.

Don't feel like you have to go through this alone.

I wish I could tell you the magic words to make it all better.

I'm so so sorry - I know this is hard, but you WILL find people here who understand your pain. I've had many dogs in my life through the years, and I'll never forget each and every one. At least you gave him all the love possible in the time you had him. My heartfelt condolences go out to you.
