Is it just me............
 

Is it just me being over emotional or does anyone else react the same way I do.
Everytime I read where one of our fellow Yorkie Talkers loses a furbaby, I am in tears. It brings back memories of the day I lost my precious little Kayla last July. My heart breaks all over again and I feel their pain. Am I strange? (Nope, please don't answer that last question.) :)
I am so glad to have found this site as there are so many caring and supportive people here. The out pouring of care, concern and support when there is a sick furbaby or a loss of one here, is awesome.

It's not just you.

I've never lost one but I feel so sad for others when I read of their loss.

No, its not just you
 

I get sooo upset when I read those postings, then, when I read about sickness or illness I get scared, luckylady here on YT gave me some good advice, stay away from those threads for awhile.....I was driving myself crazy!!!:rolleyes:

Me too:cry: If I log on and there are no new losses, it's a great day! I tried not to look at that section for the longest time, but felt that it was important to help support those that lost their babies. Everyone here was just amazingly sympathetic and supportive when I lost my little Starr, almost 3 years ago.

So it's not just you:love: I think that Yorkie people are just more tender-hearted and empathic than most. It's one of the reasons that this board is so successful and wonderful!

Sometimes I have a weak chi & I cannot open them. It makes me feel bad because I feel like I sould be supporting the mum/dad but I can't...not that day. Sorry!

It's not just you...I get very upset and usually talk to my hubby about it. It's just sooo sad and devastating to lose a pet, so I really for others when it happens. :(

I can't go the RIP Section very often at all -- and I really feel terrible about it! But it just breaks my heart.

It's not just you. My heart breaks every time someone has to say goodbye to their little furbaby. It's the only bad part of having pets. We raise them from babies right through old age (if we are lucky), then we have to say goodbye, often helping them along the way. It is hard and it is sad.

No, it's not just you, it breaks my heart when someone loses a pet.

I was just wondering the same thing a minute ago. I was reading a post about a little one who didn't make it. I feel so sad and heartbroken every time I read a post like that. It is so painful to lose a pet. My heart goes out to anyone who has to go through this.

I agree, It's soo sad, brings back terrible memories. But, we all do care or er eouldn't be here

You are not alone. :D We are a big yorkie family...even when it is a different breed of dog we feel for the person who lost their loved one.:aimeeyork I cry every time and truth be told it is very hard to visit certain sections because it brings it all back. No one wants to post that their pup is gone but in a way it was healing to find support in others that feel the same way as we all do.

Crying
 

I'm the biggest crybaby around. I cry evertime I see a dead animal alongside the road, or hear about animal abuse. The older I get, the worst I get. Lila & Mia

Nope, I'm a cry baby when it comes to pets. I've lost some too one less than a year ago so it's still fresh. I feel the loss.

It is also very comforting to know that there are people like us who really do understand and care. As heartbreaking as it is..we cry with the person who lost their baby. Alot of people just don't understand what it is like to lose a pet. We are there to lend an ear and say a prayer. It really does help.

It's not just you, I think we all feel for anyone who has suffered a loss of a furbabyoe loved one. I find myself staying away from the R.I.P section often cause it's so emotional.

You're definitely not the only one. I try not to read them because I worry, and fret, and can't get the animal out of my mind. We watched "on demand" tv last night. I knew I couldnt see Marley and Me at the theater. My husband and I watched it at home. I was sobbing out loud at the end. The only reason I watched it was because my daughter said the rest of the movie was really good. Tucker'smom

My eyes just fill up. I start to read the story and sometimes find I can't finish it as it is just to sad to deal with.

I also tear up everytime I read about someone's loss. It brings up sad memories of what we went through last July, and I feel for the person going through that.

I feel the same way. It is just too soon after losing Sadie and when I read of another loss it just opens the wound. But some days I push to do it anyway because I know how much it meant to me when people offered their heartfelt condolences. But like you said, some days you just can't do it.

No, It's not just you.....Everytime I read about someone losing their furbaby I choke up and get a knot in my throat...I try to stay away from the RIP boards now. I lost my Sheltie "Fussie" :rip: nine years ago due to old age, she was 15 and it took me 7 years to finally get another dog. When I first got Lil' Miss Izzie I even caught myself calling her "Fussie" on a few occasions. I guess when we lose a beloved pet we never completely get over them. Even though Lil' Miss Izzie will never replace "Fussie", she is such a wonderful, smart, cooperative dog, actually the best dog I have ever owned. I would be completely lost without her.... I just love her soooo much :hearts6::hearts-xx :hearts6:

I am so sorry about your little Kayla. We also have a Kayla. Don't ever feel bad about being sensitive. I had rather see someone with feelings than some of these people that are so heartless. And you are not strange. You may think I am when I tell you that about 5 yrs ago I saw a little toy poodle hit. I had never actually seen a dog run over. The person did not stop and the little thing was screaming. I was crying so hard and shaking even after I got home. To this day when I go down that street I think about that little thing laying in the road and finally laying its little head down and dying. I don't know what it has done to me but I will never ever forget that. So, no you are not strange just very sensitive like me. It breaks my heart everytime I read about someone losing theirs because we lost 2 in 2 yrs. and I know how horrible the pain is to lose one. Bless you for caring.

You are not alone at all. I hurt for the people who's little ones have died (I've had to say goodbye to several over the years), or gotten lost. I still think about the dog that the person had shipped to her and they were disappointed and didn't want it. I wonder what happened to her. When I hear about rescue's from puppy mills and realize what conditions those poor animals are living in. They haunt me. I feel sorry for people who don't feel love for animals. They are wonderful creatures who take over your heart.

Amen! Offering our sympathies is important and extremely hard to do. I mean it's there, in my heart, but when I try to share I get wiped out sobbing and crying. I'm crying now just knowing others feel the same way.

But then I think of how many owners this site has helped to steer in the right direction concerning the care of their pets in all the different forums and how many lives have been saved. Wow! You all do a really good, and very important job in the saving and making better of the lives of the little ones we all love and hold so dear to our hearts!

When I first joined YT, I thought oboy I can compare my Beautiful Boy with all yours, kinda like a contest. Instead, I've fallen in love with EVERYBODY'S furbabies! I want them all (jk) and I feel good if I can help.
It always makes me feel good to look at the photos, I always find a new one that makes me laugh!

Pets are a huge part of our lives. A comfort, and unconditional love they give us is why we grieve for the loss of our beloved animals. Yes, I cry, Yes my heart is filled with sadness each and every time one of our fellow YT'ers lose a baby. It touches us all. For the love of a animal. It hurts us greatly, to know it is a Yorkie, a part of our family, a treasure that has passes into animal heaven. I beleive their is a spirit world for them.
My kitty cat, one that was my baby and I knew from birth, who followed me everywhere, I loved Mario with all my heart. He was my friend. I recently found out a couple weeks before that I was pregnant. Was young, umarried, and suffered a very terrible Eating Disorder at the time . I was crossing a bust intersection to catch a bus to work one am. My beloeved cat saw me, and tried to follow. I watched in horror as he was run over . The car never stopped. I stood there, and screamed my head off, as other people waiting for the bus froze. A man jumped past the traffic to the other st. and moved my cat out of the road, and a woman, a stranger grabbed me, and just hed me as I sobbed and cried. That was over 16years ago. :( STILL very painful to lose my Mario. Yet it happened. I thought i could not be a parent after that. I was terrified, and so upset i could not go to work after witnessing ,my friend getting killed.
Now, I have had other cats, I have loved them too, however, Mario , is still so special to me. I have my Suzi NOW. She is MY first dog ever, and my first YORKIE.
I love her to pieces, and she is a joy. I have not felt like this since the birth of my son.
When our fellow yorkie's pass , it brings tears to my eyes, and makes me sob. I tremble , and become scared for the health and safety of my little Suzi. I give her extra hugs , and hold her and pet her more , and allow her to kiss me all over my face as much as she wants to.
