How Much is YOUR Yorkie Worth? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MomtoJasper · 10-26-2013, 05:23 PM

I am very, very sorry for the loss of your Bentley. I know what if feels like to have lost your precious pet because of a decision that you made. Please forgive yourself. You did what you felt was best at the time. I have no doubt in my mind that you loved him with all of your heart. I pray that you will find peace and the strength to be able to let your heart heal so that you may move forward, in time, and be able to give your love to another yorkie. Bentley will always have a place in your heart.

I, too, would like to thank you for your service and the sacrifices made by you and your family.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you!

Rest in Peace, Bentley.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Please go easy on yourself. Heart failure could have happened even if the surgery had been done earlier.

Did you ever notice how loyal and loving dogs are? An owner can beat their dog with a stick and it will still come back and lick the devil's hand.

You have learned a valuable lesson by what happened and you have hopefully saved more than one Yorkie's life by sharing your painful story.

Now, remember that your little guy does not hold anything against you. These babies know we are not perfect and they love us anyway.

I firmly believe that God has a special place for our loyal pets when they pass over. He's not suffering now.That spirit that made him what he is was not just a body. The body is just a bunch of cells that house who we are. I'm not trying to give a theology lesson but I know you could not look into his eyes and believe he was just a bunch of cells loving you and being your friend.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to forgive our selves. I guess we need to take some lessons from our pets on that.

Marty, thank you for your USAF service.

I am deeply sorry for your loss of Bentley, and also deeply touched at your telling us how much he meant to you. We all understand how these little furry beings mean the world to us.

This was an accident and I pray that in time your heart will heal from his loss.

Your story and your love for Bentley really touched my heart. Thank you for your wisdom and for your service. I agree I with Ellie May. Please be kind to yourself. Had you known he needed immediate care, you would have done anything to save Bentley. He will live forever in your heart. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss, Bentley sounds like he was a wonderful boy.

Prayers and good thoughts with you and please know that what happened was an accident, it could have happened to any of us. Please take your time to grieve Bentley and remember how happy he was.

I probably shouldn't have read this first thing this morning. Poor Bentley and I'm sorry for your family

cindymevers · 10-30-2013, 01:00 PM

First, I thank you for your service to our country. Second, you did what you though was best at the time. We all wish we could do things differently. I know this won't bring Bentley back but you had good intentions. I hope and pray that you will find peace. He was a very blessed dog to be loved like that.

My first Yorkie, Lexie, died last January of her liver shunt. I was beyond devastated. I went out of town the day we brought her home and buried her. When I returned the next day my husband had purchased another Yorkie and surprised me. At first, I was angry because I did not want a dog to replace Lexie. However, when I picked up Lacy (8 weeks old and 1.7 lbs) my anger melted away (He knew me better than I knew myself) and she has been a huge comfort to me. I hope in the future, when you are ready, you get another dog to love like you loved Bentley. It is very healing.

keeping you and bentley in my thoughts. i'm so sorry, but thank you so much for sharing this story!!!

wisteria · 10-30-2013, 02:44 PM

I could hear your hurt in your words....You did what you thought was best at the time. If your words may save another yorkie and I hope you can find some comfort in that. Bentley was loved and you will miss him, may you find the courage to fall in love with another one..........God Bless!

citygirl123 · 10-30-2013, 03:45 PM

Your story breaks my heart. For you. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how these little ones can wrap themselves around your heart. We have been in emergency a couple of times for various things. I cried all the way home one of the days I had to leave Copper overnight. I thought we were going to lose him and I blamed myself although I have no idea what he ate that caused the symptoms he had. We picked him up the next day. He was weak and tired but ok, thankfully. I cried all the way home in relief. It could have easily gone the other way.

It may be too soon, but please consider another companion. Forgive yourself. I will pray for your hurting heart.
