We've just put him down

So sorry for your loss

I too understand the feeling, having lost my girl Bibi in 2012. Like others have said, everyone mourns differently. Do whatever feels right for yourself and know that you gave your boy Harvey the best 13 years of his life! He loved you lots before and he will love you lots forever and will watch over you like a little angel over the rainbow bridge. I know it's very hard. But you will be okay.

Rest in peace little man, Harvey

I think each and everyone of us know how you feel. Remember, everyone grieves differently!
We lost our Izzy 12/13/15 and I am still grieving. It has eased but I still cry at times....
We are here for you...RIP little boy....

So sorry for your loss. I lost my last Yorkie due to the exact same thing. It's hard especially when they've been with you that long . Just know you made the best decision for your boy and allow yourself some time to grieve. I agree with Matese. 2 weeks later I got another Yorkie and while I still miss my first, getting another one really helped me feel a little better.

Bless you all.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I have removed all his things but I am still sleeping next to his little bed. It still smells of him. Each day it's getting easier.

What everyone else said and I'll add I waited well over a decade before allowing another dog in my home.... Looking back at what I did, it's more like I cheated myself out of all the joys, and struggles, of owning a dog.... If you're a dog person, and I think you probably are, don't cheat yourself out of years of joy. Take time to grieve, but get another as soon as you're ready. I waited way too long, don't do that!

Harvey was lucky to be loved so deeply.

Mark from the sea Amen to what you said. I waited about 12 years to let a dog into my life. I swear now that I was punishing myself.

Life without a Yorkie would be oh so boring

Thank you all so much for your kind words.

I would like to give you a little update. We picked up a new baby boy on Tuesday! He's 6 months old and his name is Monty. We are over the moon. I tried to upload pictures but it says I've exceeded the limit everytime which is weird.

I am so sorry for your loss - it is the most difficult hardest Thing to ever do 'put your baby down'. I had to so same w/my 13.5 yorkie broke broke my heart - but her look at me told me she could take no more suffering or vet drugs.....Has taken me since last Oct. to be ok with it KNOWING I DID what was best for her... keep the good memories in you and know what - yr dog is nestled in your heart and spirit hovers over you always.

I've been confronted with all of his things. My bed was cold last night. What on earth do I do now?

You did him a great service...you wouldn't want him to suffer any longer.
Give yourself credit for giving him a great life with lots of love..
It took me 15 years to get another one then 17 months later ANOTHER ONE!
I thought I couldn't endure that heart break again but I gave in and wished I'd done it sooner. There is another baby out there for you that would love your loving heart....
Best wishes....

Congratulations! That's funny, my brother's name is Monty. Thanks very much for the update.

Photo size limit is 200kb. Either set your camera at a lower size or resize the photo... I had a lot of difficulty with the latter until just recently. Do you use your phone or a PC to access yorkietalk?
