Ah, that is so sad, poor thing, but I believe it wasn't meant to be,, and when it is you'll have your baby.

Bless that poor poor babies heart. She probably never knew a happy day :( and would have had that with you. I hope she has nothing but happy days where she is now. I'm so sorry.

I am sadden by your note but unfortunately many of these Yorkies that hit animal control are in very rough shape. We (Yorkie Rescue in our town) have been fortunate to have a wonderful working relationship with our animal control and they have helped us get some of the very sad cases out before the mandatory time. Even though we have gotten some out early they have still passed on to the Rainbow Bridge or we have had to end their pain which is a difficult thing to do. It is heart breaking to think people (owners) just don't care as witnessed by the shape the animal is in but we do what we can do to help many of these dogs.

I think it is a wonderful idea to adopt a Yorkie in her memory and there are many great reputable Yorkie rescue's out there. If you go to www.petfinder.com you will still many, many available Yorkies who need a second chance. Some are listed under the national rescue and some are in animal control but I know there are many listed in Florida and with patience you could find a Yorkie that you could honor this little girl's memory in.

If I can help you in anyway with rescue please let me know or PM me.

By looking at this baby's pic, i can see why you wanted her so bad. To love and care for a baby that has been neglected all it's life is a challenge. You did all you could, i sure wish there were more people like you in this world!

What a life did that poor child have :(

Very Sorry............
 

I am also very sorry for your loss. You are very special person...... I hope you get a new furbaby soon. Hugs to you...........hang in there

That is such terrible news. At least she is no longer in any pain. I'm so sorry that things did not work out.

You did all you could, but sadly it was not to be. I think it would be a great idea to look into yorkie rescue ,as you were prepared to go 110% for this little one it would be nice for you to put your efforts into another little furry friend.

i am so sorry to hear about your loss...i can see why you wanted to give this poor baby a good home and there is no doubt in my mind if you would have got her she would have had a wonderful loving home with you....you will find another baby soon to love and look at it this way everything happens for a reason *hugs* my prayers are with you

I have made a memorial page for the Yorkie at the link below. Originally, my Pets by the Pond site was going to be set up as a memorial site for all animals but last year's Gulf hurricanes changed those plans as I used it for animal rescue information.

Pets by the Pond Tribute

Here is a tribute poem I wrote as I thought about things. It is for all the sick, abused, neglected, and lost animals:

--------------------------
I Know You Were a Good Dog

Although I never knew your name,
I know you were a good dog.

Although I knew you only a very very short time,
I know you were a good dog.

You deserved a safe and caring family full of love and fun, walks and playing.
I know you were a good dog.

Your last chapter of this life found you on the streets trying your best to survive. You did the best you could. If your past was a past of abuse, neglect, and other terrible things, I apologize for those person or persons in your past that did that to you. They had no right to do that.
I know you were a good dog.

In your final days on this earth, please know that you were loved and cared about. When your journey here was finished, you peacefully went to the Rainbow Bridge. You are now free never to be hurt again.
I know you were a good dog.

...

I'm so sorry that it didn't work out for you to get her. Don't beat yourself up over it. I love the poem.

that is so sad! I'm so sorry this happened, but kudos to you for caring so much! Just know she is no longer in pain or hurting from a life of being neglected. I bet you anything she knows you were there for her.

I'm so sorry. I know you were trying so hard to get her home, and to your vet. Don't you shouldn't blame yourself. You did all you could, and were very persistent in letting them know this pup had a home as soon as she was over her 7 day quarantine period.

I don't know how in the world people can be so cruel. And to me yorkies are such loving and giving litle creatures.
May she rest in peace.

I'm sooo sad for that poor little baby. I hope she's happy now. Bless you for caring so much!

Oh this is so sad. I'm so sorry for you. This poor little girl. Please don't berate yourself. You did the absolute best you could under the circumstances. Did you have a name in mind for her? Even though you never effectively 'had' her, perhaps it will make the grieving process better if you know that she had a name and that she was yours. I think she knew that she was loved and the staff in that shelter sound wonderful. So sorry again. Please let us know how you're getting along and I do hope you consider looking for another in time

Lots of love,

Annie & Badger X
