Jersey Girl 3/2/07 - 8/13/08 My husband and boys brought Jersey to me last Mother's day to ease the pain of losing our beloved Newman. He was 10 yrs. old and had just been diagnosed with cancer. He was our first Yorkie. I was taking it very hard and so Jersey came hoping to eare our pain. She was 10 weeks old when we got her and a year and 6 days after putting our Newman down we had to put our Jersey Girl down. Jersey developed an aggression out of now where and started attacking. Originally, it was thought that since hitting maturity she may have developed dog aggression. It broke my heart but in the best interest we listed her for adoption to a home with no other pets. Things were not right and I just was not convinced so I chose to hold off placing her. She seemed better for a few days then got progressively worse. Had a small convulsion, cried out in pain and then started to growl. She started to turn her aggression on me. We went further and after speaking to our vet in great lengths it was told to us that there was a brain abnormalty found and the had also felt there was a liver problem. We spoke about trying to fix it but he said the best we could do was to put her down as she would get worse and get sicker. He said it's hard to fix the brain and usually when symptoms start like this it is too late. We put our little girl to rest yesterday and this is the first I am able to write. My husband and I could not bring ourselves to tell her sons. They went through so much just a year ago with our Newman. Instead of telling them the truth we told them that we found Jersey a great home with the vet tech. that she lived a lone and had no other pets and Jersey loved her. I just couldn't tell them the truth. I don't know when I'll be back on YT. I just can't bring myself to even go on the computer right now but wanted to let everyone know that Jersey is in a better place now. Her brother Newman is looking out for her and she's at peace. I pray that I can find peace with all of this. I always thought that putting Newman down would be the hardest thing I had to do but now a year later having to put down the little girl who was to ease our pain and at only 17 months old has just destroyed us.

Oh dear God, not again. Elaine, I'm so sorry that you lost your dear Jersey. Prayers for your broken heart. Hugs. |
So very sorry for your loss and the awful pain of having to make the decision to do this. God Bless you and ease your pain... |
Oh Elaine, how sad:( My heart goes out to you and your husband! I remember you asked for advice a while back to see what your options were! Yes, her brother is looking after her and they are both playing in heaven:littleang:littleang I hope you're not blaming yourself and your husband. You had to put her out of her misery!! She probably was going through a lot and couldn't convey it to you in any way other than anger and frustration!! Please stop by and check on us here and there!! This is an amazing forum with beautiful people. If no one else, you're always welcome to come say Hi! to me;) Take care and hope your heart heals over time... |
I am so sorry. ((hugs)):( |
My heart just breaks for you, I wish I had words of comfort to give you and your family. I had been thinking of you lately and about Newman, and I remember your posting of Jersey's issues...what a hard, hard year you have had. May God bless you and may you find some comfort in your grief for these two furbabies. You take care of yourself, and perhaps sometime later you will be able to come back and let us know how you are doing. I will be thinking of you. |
I'm so sorry for your loss. Believe me, Jersey knew she was loved, and you made her short time here worthwhile. A short life is better than none. I hope you can take some time and then find a new pup to fill the hole that's left in your heart. I really feel we need something to do with the love we reserve for our pets. |
i am sitting her- tears just running down my face for you! You did the hardest thing there is to do, but you did it because you loved her to much to let her live like that! i am so sorry for you and your husband! |
Oh Elaine saying I'm sorry for your loss isn't enough..:(:( |

Im so sorry for your loss and your pain. |
I am so very sorry. |
I am so sorry you had to go thriugh such a tragic loss again. My heart goes out to you. |
Oh Elaine when I saw her name in the RIP section I just couldnt believe it. I had been following your story about Jersey and was hoping things were working out since you didnt rehome her. I am so very sorry for your loss and i am praying for you. I hope you come back to the forum soon because I know youll have alot of support here |
Elaine, my heart aches for you. I am so sorry to hear about Jersey. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. My prayers are with you and your family. |
Elaine, I am so sorry honey. I was hoping that hubby's cousin could take her. I know I hadn't spoken to you in a few days because I have been MIA. I am so so sorry for your loss. Please know that you did all that you could to take care of Jersey. Sending you a big old hug. I will email you. |
Oh Elaine, I am so sorry! I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. |
Thank you everyone. Beth (Bizzymamabee) It's alright. I'm glad your cousin didn't take her. I'm glad that she stayed with me. I would have felt even worse had I rehomed her not knowing she was sick. How the poor new family would have felt. I would not have wanted to put anyone through this. I just wish. I wish we would realized and believed what our gut was telling us in that this was not her not liking her sisters. They grew up together. It made no sense and my gut kept saying something was wrong and this is why I pulled her from petfinder and YT. I just knew this was medical. I just knew it and I'm so sorry that I could not have helped her. I contacted the breeder where she came from. Right from my neighborhood. I never realized she was bad. I always thought how educated I am and I'm always telling others about being careful and here just because she was in my own little neighborhood we never investigated her. I called her yesterday and sobbed and begged her not to ever breed them again. I don't ever want to see anyone go through this. Thank you again. Elaine |
Elaine.. I am so sorry. I think you did the best for you and you gave her the best life you could of ever given her. I bet if she could she would thank you. She loved you and Im sure you know that. She had issues beyond yours and her control. Shes at peace now |
Two tragedies in such a short time - it's breaking my heart. I can't even begin to imagine what it is doing to yours. I think you have done the right thing as far as your sons are concerned. At least until they can understand and will be able to deal with it. They are probably still grieving over the loss of Newman. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jersey was lucky that her life, short as it was, was with a forever family that loved her so very much. Now she can spread her little wings and fly right along side of Newman as they chase butterflies over the Bridge. I'm so sorry - (((Hugs))). |
I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Little Angel! I am sending prayers & hugs your way! |
Elaine, I can't stop crying....I am so very sorry, I know how much you love her, I could tell in every post you made, she is a special girl and you knew it and you tried to do everything you could to help her. :( ...I don't know what else to say. :cry: Thank you for sharing her story, as this may help other. RIP Jersey Girl :littleang:littleang |
I'm very sorry for your loss, RIP. |
Oh My heart is sick for what you and your family has gone through. You made the best choice possible and I know it doesn't make this any easier. Just know you and your husband are being thought of and prayed for by many many caring ppl and we feel your pain. You are loved and may God ease your pain and bring joy again to you when appropriate. |
I am soo so sorry about Jersey:( She is in a much better place now |
I am so sorry for your loss:( I hope your heavy heart gets lifted soon.....(((Hugs))) Jennifer |
Elaine, that is devestating. I know that you were having some aggression problems with her...who would have thought it would be so tragic? My prayers are with your family in this time. Thank you for loving her and doing what was best for her. |
