| We've just put him down Yesterday evening we put our 13yr old beloved Harvey down. His legs had given up and he had lost control of his bowels and bladder. Today I've been confronted with all of his things. My bed was cold last night. What on earth do I do now? |

| I am so sorry. We lost our Sammy a few months past so I understand. I think it is important to always acknowledge your grief... remember your love. I am happy you had 13 years... sad that you only had 13 years.

| I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my 14 y/o Teddy in 2013. I went through the whole grieving process. I threw all of his things away--clothes, toys, collars. I just couldn't stand having them. I felt very disloyal even thinking about getting another Yorkie. It was like I was trying to replace him. Finally this past March I decided I was ready for another Yorkie BUT it had to be a female--which wouldn't seem like I was trying to replace Teddy. He will always have a special place in my heart. Just take your time grieving Harvey and when the time is right you will be able to make a decision on getting another Yorkie. |

| I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. It will be a week tomorrow that I lost my Holly. She was only 5 years old, so losing her didn't even seem to be a possibility to me. I can only say be gentle with yourself. Grieving takes time, and it doesn't matter if it is a person or a beloved pet. I will say that last night was the first night I slept, and it was because I changed my position in the bed. Sounds silly but it worked. What you do now is grieve the loss of your sweet boy. I haven't moved her toys yet, but it was suggested to me to maybe put them out of sight until I feel strong enough to give them away. Hugs to you. Just know you gave him a wonderful 13 year life. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Grieve as long as you need to. Don't worry yet about another dog to bring into your loving home. When that time is right, you will know it. No new dog what-ever sex will ever replace a lost dog. Each brand new dog comes with their unique personalities and foibles and it is our joy to find out all about this new being. I ended up keeping most of Zoeys things. Many toys have been replaced now as Dara has grown to be 2yrs old. But they are no longer Zoeys' but Daras' now.

| As gemy said now is your time to mourn. In whatever way you want to. Every person is unique. Get rid of his belongings or sleep with them. What ever feels right for you. Remember him when he was healthy, that is what he would want. He is at rainbow bridge waiting to thank you for the best 13 years that a furbaby could ever ask for. My heart cries with you over your loss.

| So very sorry for your loss.I lost my little girl in 2013 it still seems like it was yesterday. I donated all her things and all my passed babies things to my local no kill shelter, I could not bear to see them.I do have a little memorial for her that will always remain there. I SWORE NO MORE dogs. Losing them had become to painful. 6 weeks after her passing my vet gifted me with a 2.5 y/o little boy that was a surrender, it was so sad to me that someone could give away this precious boy, I took him home, I KNEW I could give him a loving forever home. He helped me through a very dark time in my life, my girl was 17 y/o when I had to let her go. Cody filled that empty hole in my heart and made my house a home again. Everyone grieves differently, there may come a time when you feel the time is right and you can open you heart to another baby. (((hugs)))
