I am tired.

Yep! Muffin got really sick when she was quite young and it happened to me, too. We had one heck of a bond. The bond is amazing. You know when something isn't right, but you really do know what to do that is right for them!

Your poor thing, I cannot imagine the stress and strain you are under. I will pray that everything you're going through is going to bring your baby that much closer to the day when he is all better.

Prayers heading from Indiana to the two of you.

You have been through a lot - emotionally and physically (without good sleep, etc.) and you're tired. Hopefully, your little guy's health will improve, and you can get back to a normal life again.

Don't feel guilty. I remember my second child keeping me up night after night after night - and getting a little irritated with that little guy - feeling that way made me feel guilty too. I think we've all been in similar situations.
We get tired and we don't have our usual patience.

Wish I lived near you - I'd take him for a couple days so you could sleep nonstop. Wouldn't that be nice.

I lost one of my dogs and two cats this past year. I still have one dog, got a new bird, and have my new Yorkie --- and, I have found myself worried (more than I should be) about their health or that something might happen to them. Luckily, my are very healthy so my fears are beginning to disappear. But, you're weren't as lucky as I was. I think your losing one pet and then having another that is very sick is an unfortunate thing for you to have to go through.

I wish you and your little pup the best of luck! Keep in touch with us.

I remember when we had pups, I didn't get hardly any sleep for 6 weeks, then after 6 weeks, I would sleep a few hrs at a time, until they went to their forever homes... I can imagine how tired you are.

Take some time to get a good rest- have someone else watch your yorkie for a night- you need to also take care of you.

I can't imagine all the different emotions you are going through.

but please take care of yourself also.

You know after I got off YT last night Matise got so excited and hyper he played and acted silly for like an hour. It was as though all your prayers and thoughts lifted him up. Thank you so much for everything.

Kara, I understand the strain of living with a sick baby. I know you are completely exhausted, both emotionally and physically. The incredible bond that develops, when you must pour so much of yourself into their care in incredible. Is it possible that you could find someone to come into your home and babysit with Matise for a couple of hours and maybe you could go get a massage or something? Maybe even some from here on YT. Good luck, Sweetheart. It sounds like Matise is trying, and is doing the best he can.... they have such strong spirits.

My first Yorkie, Laciebug had a very very rare (so rare in fact that my vet had NEVER EVER seen this condition in a living dog). She was expected to live 3 weeks after the diagnosis, but three years later, my little braveheart Laciebug was still going strong.
