My first post. In time of need.
 

Hi, I have been a member since 2008 and this is my first post. It took me a while but I really need to "talk" and need some Yorkie friends.
Last Friday my beloved LouLou was mauled at my feet by a Saint Bernard. She died from internal injuries and I'm just devastated beyond words. She was my ESA and my best friend who got me and my family though tough emotional times with her endearing personality and loving ways. She was not physically perfect by any means - many potential parents passed her up due to her imperfect bite. She found her home with us when she was 8 months old and that is her picture in my profile. As far as I was concerned, I won the doggy lottery and she was spectacular.
My husband is adamant that we need another dog soon. It wont diminish my love for my LouLou but it will fill an empty hole in my heart and on my husbands pillow where LouLou used to sleep. I have had a Yorkie since since I was 7 years old (now I'm 52!) and can't think of home as complete without one of these lovely little dogs. As soon as I can get my head above water and stop crying, I'm going to start looking. I'm old enough to know that one just needs to get on with it.
Thank you for listening and being Yorkie lovers, too.

Your LouLou was adorable and I'm so sorry something so awful happened to her. I can't even imagine what your going through. Having another precious Yorkie to love will be such a comfort for you. Good Luck with your search

I'm so so sorry about LouLou. Your heart will guide you as to the right time, but for me, personally, a new fur to love would help heal my heart

Good luck and I'm sorry this had to happen for you to make your first post :unlove:

i am very sorry for your loss....may loulou rip.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was blessed to find Gracie Ruth so quickly after I loss my sweet Annie B. It really did help to heal my shattered heart and she continues to be a blessing beyond measure. I pray you find that very special fur-baby to help your family heal.

So very sorry. Sending prayers and hugs

I'm horrified to read what happened to your LouLou. I hope Animal Control has investigated and quarantined the killer dog to watch for evidence of rabies for the safety of other animals and people in the community. I pray that you can find another Yorkie to help redirect that horror as quickly as possible to the joy of having another precious dog filling your time and thoughts. I believe that it might help you keep from dwelling on the terrible details of Friday and reliving them over and over and instead, focusing on your new dog and its personality and needs. And you need a dog to hold and love now. LouLou would want you to be happy and give another dog a home and when you remember her, recall only the best of times with her. I pray that your healing from this tragedy will begin soon and one day you will find peace.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, your little LouLou was very pretty and I agree with you there is just no other breed like a Yorkie. These little Dogs have the Heart and Soul of a Lion and they seem to know all the time when there Mom and Dad need them the most. I hope that you will find a new Baby soon the heal your Heart.
((hugs))

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
My exact feelings and beliefs.....I can not even begin to imagine the psychological horror you relive every moment, with the imprint of that event permanently etched into your mind, replaying over and over, every time you close your eyes. I only wish there was something I could say to you and everyone else who has suffered through this type of assault to your psyche. I have never gotten over watching an owl/ hawk carry off my little chihuahua right in front of me, back in 1975.....it does not take my breath away in the same sharp, jagged way it did for so many years, but I have not ever erased that from my mind's eye. While traumatic, it does not compare to the horror of what has happened to you and I am sooooooooo sorry you are scarred by this now. I can only pray for you....pray for His strength to lessen the trauma this has caused you. He led you to this, He will lead you thru it.

My heart goes out to you on your tragic loss. I hope you can find another yorkie when your ready that needs you as much as you need him or her.

I, too, am so very sorry that you had to witness this traumatic event. Your LouLou was beautiful! She is your very own Yorkie Guardian Angel now.

I really believe getting another pup will help your heart to heal...do it in YOUR time though. Follow your heart and you will know. Just know that LouLou will always be in your heart and she definitely would want you to heal and move forward - and give that love you have to another precious pup.

Rest in peace, Sweet LouLou

I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Loulou

I am so very sorry. Sending deep sympathy...

How horrible...I am so sorry. Only you can decide when it is time to get another Yorkie, but by all means, do it if you feel you should...don't feel guilty or that you are 'replacing' her because you want a baby to love or feel empty without her. There must be one waiting for you that needs you more than LouLou did...perhaps it is time to find that baby and give it what it needs, too. Again, I am so sorry for your loss and the horrible tragedy that preceded it...things like that should never happen. {{{Hugs}}}

I am so sorry for the loss of your little one! No one can ever take her place but having another to cuddle will help.

I'm sorry and I do know how difficult it is to not only get past the "mind movies" but the loss of one animal/human that we love so much...but I will say that time gives way to happy memories more often than bad ones and that no person/animal is replaceable, but there is always room in our lives for another being...to make more happy memories and above all else...to LOVE...

I wish you peace and I hope you get another baby sooner rather than later....there is a baby out there waiting for you!!

so sorry for your Loss. there is another baby out there wating for you to love

I'm so sorry to hear about your LouLou. When a dog dies it's heartbreaking but when it does from injury from another dog it's much worse. I didn't think St Bernards were vicious they always seem so laid back. Well I guess there's always one that breaks the rules. Anyway our prayers and love to out to you.

[QUOTE=Qu33ni3;4205260 I'm old enough to know that one just needs to get on with it.

It has nothing to do with age, and no you can't just get on with it. Yes when we get these little guys/gals we know their time with us is limited, but you suffered a tragic loss of your beloved family member. Yes I am, and I'm sure everyone else here, is of the school of thought they are family members first and pets second. So don't feel bad about feeling bad. Don't kick yourself over not being able to "get on with it" right away. You need time to grieve, it's all a process, 4 or 2 legged family. This is just my first yorkie and he is only 5 months old, but I cannot imagine life without him. I definitely cannot imagine what you are enduring at this moment.

Take a deep breath, allow yourself to go through the process. When you finally find some peace LouLou will see to it the right yorkie is placed in your path. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP LouLou

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little girl. There are no words that can help you but I do pray that God will comfort your heart at this time of distress.

As was already mentioned I do hope that the dog who did this to your baby has been reported and that this will never happen to another dog.

If you feel you are ready for another pup then by all means start looking. Take your time and make sure you know who you are dealing with. There are so many fakes out there selling little dogs right now. I want you to have the dog you really want and not one that someone has pushed on you in order to fatten their pocketbook.

Please let us know how you are doing. You know that everyone cares very much about what you are suffering right now.

I'm so sorry for your lost may your sweet Lou Lou rest in peace.

Very sorry for your loss. Prayers that your perfect Yorkie comes soon.

So Sorry you lost LouLou! She sounded like a very sweet girl! I hope you find another pup. **Hugs**

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and your hubby. XoXo

I feel so bad for you and your family. When our sweet Charlie was killed, I called a breeder 2 days later. My husband wasn't sure about getting another puppy so soon, but like you, I could not stand the thought of coming to our house without a Yorkie there. Then, Barney entered our lives. He did not take Charlie's spot, but he does provide us with laughter and joy in a time of terrible hurt and pain. There are still days that it is so painful. I cannot even imagine how it would have been without Barney. You have to do what is right for your family. I understand your desire to get another puppy.

Little LouLou blessed your life. It is so tough to lose a family dog. My heart was broken when my Yorkie Teddy Peanut left us. I got another Yorkie, JoJo and you really should do that too. I am praying for comfort for you and your family. Like the rainbow bridge poem says, "She is long gone from your life but Never gone from your heart." Treasure her sweet memory and pray for another little Yorkie to come into your life and bless you like LouLou did.

Oh dear, what a tragic memory to have of your dear LouLou. My heart is breaking for you. I hope that you find another furbaby to love as soon as you are ready.

I am so sorry for you loss

My heart is breaking for you, I can not even imagine the pain you must be feeling. I am sure your fur baby LouLou would want you to shower another little Yorkie with your love.

Rest in peace precious Lou Lou :angelyork

Oh sweetie I am so so sorry that you lost your baby especially in the manner in which you did. I'm sending love and hugs to you and saying a prayer for you tonight. May you find some happiness in another little one after you adjust to losing your Lou Lou. May he rest in peace.
