I'm so sorry for your loss. My BIL was here last week playing with my two and he said he is not getting another dog until he is so old that he will die before the dog. :D. We had to ask him, so what will happen to the dog? He looked totally confused. His dog had gone into liver failure and died about 15 yrs ago.

Elsa so sorry for the loss of your lil April. I had to put my sweet lil girl down this past Oct. 2013. I know the pain you are going through. I have lost to many but she was the last of my brood and was 16 y/o. All I was doing was crying, the house felt so empty, I have not been with out a baby for 35 + years. This last girl Matese was gotten as a companion for my other baby. In 1996 I had 3 babies, all females, in Feb. 96 I lost one she was 13 y/o, the 2 remaining had each other although you could tell they missed their sister, but they still has each other, 6 months later the 2nd older one passed away in the house, age 10 y/o, the last one was the baby of the 3, now she was alone, she was pining away for her lost sister, was not eating, not playful, not so happy to see me when I would come home from work. I gave her 6 months to adjust, she didn't, so in 1997 I got my beautiful Matese to keep her company. It was an immediate bond, my Schnae adored Matese so much. Schnae had to be put down in 2005 age 13 y/o. Being they were extra, extra close Matese took it very hard, I was now not in a position to get her a companion as my work kept me out of the house 15 to 16 hours a day. I could could not raise a puppy being gone so many hours. It took Matese 9 months to adjust and she just got closer to me. So loosing this lil girl for me was very over whelming. I swore no more dogs, loosing them is too painful, I can't do it anymore. As it turned out 6 weeks after having to put my sweet girl down I did adopt a 2 1//2 y/o yorkie male all unplanned and a surprise. He rescued me, I needed him, he helped me cope with the loss of my lil girl. You need to grieve, cry, talk. They say in time the pain lessons, I don't know for me how that would have worked out. I have a memorial of my Matese, and I still cry for her 8 months later, but then my lil Cody boy will jump at me and give me lil yorkie kisses, and puts that smile back on my face and eases the pain in my heart. All of us on YT have lost a beloved baby, we know the pain you are in and we are all here to help you get through this. I know to write about your lil April is painful, I cannot write, or even talk about my Matese without crying. But we are all here for you. I will keep you in my prayers to help you stay strong to be able to get past this. Give your other baby lots of love and extra attention for she is also grieving and missing her lil sister.

I am so very very sorry for the loss of your April may she RIP.

Sending prayers of comfort for you, Elsa. You really did the right move for your sweet Yorkie. I don't like to say I put my Teddy Peanut down. I handed his precious little spirit back to his creator. Animals are given to us as a gift to have in our lives temporarily. When their job is done, it is time for them to go home. Just like us. Home is where they are the happiest, no suffering, no pain. We do not know why their lives end when they do but it is a heartbreak for us. I know in my heart when we are called to our eternal home will will see them again. The Lord loves us and all of our precious Yorkies.

I am so sorry. It is hard to loose one you love.. but it is still better that you had that love. I read somewhere the best way to show that love in memory is to save the life of another. I hope you find you way to remember April.

take care

I am very sorry for your loss. I know this must be a hard time for you. I see you are from sc. I grew up and lived in summerville until I moved to wi 5 year ago. I miss it there.

April's mommy

I am so sorry for your loss, I share in your grief as I just lost my own baby this past December. It's not easy seeing the every day things that remind us of them and our loss but I can tell you that it gets easier with time. Just try to remember that she is in a better place now and that she is with you in spirit.

April 4Ever,
What helped me was having my baby's ashes like you have your baby's ashes. It really gave me comfort. I lost other dogs in the past but never got their ashes and this helped me cope with her loss more than when the others were gone and I had nothing of them anymore. As all said it will get easier as time passes and you do have another love to share your grief with. I used to talk to my Joey about my Lacey and that helped too. It helped me to have him to be there for me when the pain was too much. Your baby you have now will no doubt be a great consolation for you. Best Wishes

I am sorry for your loss.
 

I, too, lost my baby on June 10. It was the hardest thing of my life but he needed to be with my late husband. He had kidney failure and hung on for me for 7 years. I know the feeling that you have but it will get easier. you are in the right place.
