My heart is breaking My heart is breaking and nothing seems to help. My Heidi would have been 18 yrs old in just 11 days, but I had to make the terrible decision to put an end to her suffering on Sat. morning. She has been in renal failure for the past 3 1/2 yrs and I have been giving her sub-q fluids every day along with alot of other medication. She went into congestive heart failure about 1 1/2 yrs ago but despite what her vet said she pulled through it. She has come so close to leaving this world so many times but somehow by the grace of God she pulled through. My vet always called her a LITTLE TROOPER. She got a very bad skin and sinus infection about 1 month ago and things just spiraled downhill. My heart fills like it has been ripped out of my chest. I can't eat, sleep or do anything. I don't know how I'm going to make it without her. She was my first yorkie and I loved her like my child. Please say a prayer for my baby. She is pictured in my avatar in the doggie bed with her sister that we lost last March at 16 1/2 yrs. Heidi is the one with the dark hair. RIP my baby girl.:littleang |
I just want to hug you right now. Is your name Annie? I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. What a blessing it was for your little Heidi and her sister to have had such a loving, caring and wonderful mom like you.... And how blessed are we to be given so many years with these precious diamonds. There is nothing more valuable than the love we share and it is a difficult road to continue without them. I believe in my heart that they are waiting for us and that they stay with us in spirit. My heart weeps for your loss as I still feel my own. May your precious Heidi rest in peace. Huggs |
I am sorry for your loss, but your baby lived a wonderful loving long life. The longest I have ever heard of from a yorkie! that means you were doing something right with both these babies! Please know that your baby is at peace now, and she knows you did everything in your power to give her a good life. (((hugs))) |
Soooo sorry about Heidi. Just let yourself grieve. She will always & forever be in your heart. Thank you for being a wonderful mom to her. You were so brave. It "will" get better. |
I truly believe we will see our babies again one day. May your memories of sweet Heidi sustain you during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. |
Oh my friend your Yorkie was so loved. You had your baby for a long time. I feel so sad for you. It's hard losing someone so special. They are our babies and such a wonderful part of our family. Try to think of the lovely moments you had and gradually you will feel a little better. Your little one is in a happier place now with no pain. Think of this love. No more suffering. God bless. Hugs Shirl x x |
I am so sorry for your loss. I know its very hard to loose our little ones. |
I am so sorry for your lose and the pain you are now having to deal with. My prayers are with you and all your little ones. Just take it day by day, hour by hour or even minute by minute if need be. As others have said it will get better, it just takes time and your inner strength. |
Ann i am so sorry little Heidi is gone but her memories you will always have i know how much you loved her and i am so proud that you are mommy to one of my babies. I pray that you can find peace in knowing that you was her love & her life and you proved so worthy |
I'm very sorry. My wife and I had to do the same for our 23 yr old mixed terrier Buddy a little over a year ago. I think about him every day. You'll never get over it but it will get less painful as time goes by. |
My heart goes out to you...:( |
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my yorkie in November, He was 17 1/2 yrs old. I still grieve for him. |
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I agree with many here that you must have been a wonderful mommy with your yorkies living sooo long. I will keep you in my thoughts in that you will be able to grieve and move on the best that you can. Remember, we never really lose the ones we love. We are just temporarily separated until we can join them again in the next life:) |
I am so sorry for the pain you feel now, and hope you will find comfort in the memories of sharing so many years with your beloved girls. |
I am so sorry for your loss. I can feel your pain. I lost my Jon Jon in July last year. He was almost 14 yrs old and my first Yorkie, too. Unlike your Heidi, my Jon Jon was killed. I still cry whenever my heart is aching until I feel better. You shouldn’t blame yourself of making the decision to put an end to her suffering. I believe you did the right thing for her. As others have said it, you'll never get over it but it will get less painful as time goes by. With deepest sympathy…. |
I am so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is, My heart aches for you. RIP sweet baby. |
Terribly sorry for your loss. (((Hugs and Prayers))) |
I just want to offer you a hug right now. What a wonderful loving mom you were to your babies. |
Your baby knew that whatever choice you decided would be the best. I'm sure she's very grateful to have such a wonderful mom. I am so sorry for your lost but you have gain once again another angel. RIP |
I am sorry for both of your losses. Anyone who takes care of an animal for 18 years really does develop a major attachment to it. It does take a very devoted person to take care of anything, person or animal, that's ill. I know i don't know you but i am sure they both had a wonderful life. I just hope that my little one gets to have a great 15+ years the same as yours did. RIP little ones. *HUGS* |
oh my goodness, I am terribly sorry to hear of this bad fortune...I totally know how you feel. My lab mix, Tasha, was 15 when she died. I was 18, and I got her when I was 3...I was actually at college when she died, but my mom called to let me know. It was only 3 days before I was to go home for Thanksgiving break. Sorry to give you the story, but just know that I feel so badly for what you are going through, but it will get better with time. There are times that I talk about my baby girl with tears in my eyes, but other times I'm able to talk about her without crying. I guess it's good that she won't be suffering any more - she will be totally healthy in heaven. May your little Heidi rest in peace...who knows, maybe she'll be friends with my Tasha up there? |
I honestly wish I knew how you feel, it hasn't happened to me yet. But I know I'll feel like how you feel when I lose my first love too. It just crushes my heart knowing the pain it must be. I truly commend you on even bringing up a yorkie as long and beautiful for almost 18 years. I only hope to be able to do the same thing for my own furbabies. Be strong, and remember the good times you shared. |
Words cannot convey the sadness I feel for you. We also had to put our first yorkie "Baby" down who was just over 16 years old. Nothing will fill that spot in your heart but we opened a new spot in our hearts after a few months for our Sophie who helped us heal beyond our expectations and who we love beyond words. In time maybe you can find it in your heart to love again. Prayers go out to you :animal-pa |
My baby I just want to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. My heart is still breaking but hopefully it will get better as time goes by. Just to let everyone know if your ever faced with having to let your little ones go please get your vet to place a IV catheter in your baby to give the medication through. My vet used a syringe and because Heidi's little veins were so fragile they kept blowing and it took three attemps for her little heart to stop beating. I was holding her and that was just about unbearable. I had my darling little girl cremated and she is wrapped up in her favorite blanket and she is with me all of the time, but I miss her so much.:littleang |
I am so sorry for your loss. It is one of the hardest things to go through is to lose a beloved pet. Know that you will see them again in heaven should give you some comfort. I lost a Golden retriever 5 years ago and I still miss her and I know that when I get to heaven she will be waiting for me and recognize me. They touch our hearts with love, and we are never the same.;) |

A huge hug to you Ann. I know right now you are filled with so much pain that you can't even imagine that things will get better. You will never forget your baby girl but things will get easier in time. Almost 18 yrs is amazing and most of us might not be so blessed to have a furbaby that long. My Cookie has been missing for over 2 months. The not eating or sleeping is completely normal. Dont try to rush yourself to get back to normal. Cry every moment you feel like it. I still pray with all my heart that he is returned to me somehow. I felt actual heartache that you must be feeling. Gen |

Sorry about Your Wee one. I miss my Cassie everyday, when she died in my arms It was like my heart stop too. I had to be strong for my wee one. I had a Pink Coffin I got online she loved pink. she had pics off our family and wee note from everyone an angel Crystel with her.Her Favorite Blankets,I washed her 2 hrs later and hairdry her and brushed her it was hard but i wanted her to be clean the way she always like to be. I then put her in the coffin she just looked like she was sleeping hardest thing was putting the lid on the coffin when i started to screw the screws on the lid i wanted the lid open one more time just didnt want to let her go. it was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do in my life. my Father got the hole dug and when i had to put her in the ground I just cried and cried, Its been the most hardest start to this year ever. I understand your loss. It doesnt go without me Thinking everyday and night about my Wee princess. Hope we meet our love ones again. |
My heart goes out to you. It is so hard to lose a loving companion, and it takes time for the grieving process. In time your grief will start to wane, and the happy memories that you shared with your baby will fill your heart and when you think of her, more smiles and happiness will fill you. big hugs!! |
I have tears in my eyes reading your last post - I know losing a pet is terribly hard. I have my first yorkie now, and have only had him about a month, and I am so attached that I can't imagine not being without him. My husband grew up with a yorkie that they had to put down at 16 years old, and it was really hard for his whole family. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Leslie and Rucker :aimeeyork |
