Need support had to put down my yorkie (my baby)
 

Hello-
I'm asking for support. I had to put my baby yorkie the love of my life down. I'm grieving and asking for support ( yorkie lovers). I can't stop crying every time I think of my beautiful yorkie April Dinkel.

So sad...
Elsa

Hello Elsa, I am very sorry you had to let your April go. You have come to the right place for support.

Tell us about your baby. Share some pictures too.

I hope that in time that the happy memories of your special girl will comfort your grieving heart.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart I would to share. I'm taking it really hard. I have asked my family not remove her bowls. I have another doggie and she is looking for her sister. Thank you for replying!!

I'm so sorry honey, I do know and it is very difficult, so many reminders, but I promise you, that in a little while suddenly allllll the good memories will start popping into your mind and the sadness seems to lessen. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We went through it a few months back, just remember you did it for her, not you. We kept Sig alive 2 years and 4 months after kidney failure(Doctor said she had 6 months). She even chased her ball the final day, but I will not keep a friend alive just for my wants. As long as she had quality of life we would do anything, but we would not let her suffer just for our selfish wants.


Remember the good times, cry a little, but remember she knew you loved her

I had to have my little put to sleep December 1st 2013. After the death of my parents, it was the most painful thing I ever had to do. It is definitely not easy but it does get better. For the first 3 months I could not stop crying. I left her blankie, sweater and her bed alone as if she was still here. I have her ashes on my nightstand next to my bed. I still take out the lock of hair that I have and just hold for comfort.

No it will not be easy but believe it does get better. I know there times when she comes to visit me. Sometimes I can sense her presence and brings a smile to my face. I know she is checking on me to see if I am okay. She was very protective and possessive of me. She cared for my well being as much as I cared for her's. While I don't cry as much, there is still a sadness but it is slowly turning into beautiful memories of our time together. I know that we will see each other again and that is what gets me through.

I have open my heart up to another little girl who I am building a bond with. She is definitely not a replacement. My Brandi has opened me up to what it's like to live with and love yorkies. I just wanted another opportunity to share that love with another beautiful yorkie. Allow yourself t grieve and if you feel like crying, go ahead and cry. I still haven't put Brandi's stuff away although I let my new yorkie have her blankie (I'm sure Brandi is not too thrill with that:rolleyes:).

Thank you so much. I would love to share pictures of April. She made very happy and was always there for me!!

Thank you so much!!
Elsa

I can imagine how hard it is to see your other doggie wondering where her sister is. Sending you both gentle hugs.

How sad.....I can feel your hurt. :(

Elsa, my heart breaks for you. I'm so sorry. The pain will eventually lessen and you'll have your beautiful memories.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss :( I've lost two several years back, one from old age and other from sudden complications. It saddens me that our pets live such short lives.

I am so sorry for your loss,but glad that you came here for comfort. I too lost my baby 3yrs ago and that is how I found my way here.
I would love to see pictures of your baby when you feel up to it.

I'm so sorry for your loss you are in my prayers

I'm very sorry for your loss.:(

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.

Elsa, I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved April.

My heart breaks for you !!! Be strong,and remember all the good times !

I am so sorry for your loss. :(

Elsa - I am so very sorry for your loss - it's indescribable to lose a pet; it's a kind of love that is unmatched elsewhere.

Please do tell us about your lovely April, if you feel so inclined. We're here for you.

Btw, we also have a Rest In Piece/Grieving section that has some articles on surviving the loss of a pet: In Memory Of... (R.I.P.) - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

I received baby April's ashes! I the pain in my heart just hurts! I can't even open my eyes! I thank God for guiding me to this website! This is helping me cope! Thank you (all) for helping me get through this challenging day!! Thank you God for all of you! April's mommy ( elsa)

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.

Grieving for April ( my yorkie)
 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of YOU! You are helping me get through this challenging time ( my baby april) is the love of my life! I received her ashes and I didn't know I had so much pain in me! Thank you God for guiding me to this website! Hug your babies and give them a lot of love!

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.
