I Got A Call Today From Dexter's Vet And He Told Me That He Suffered Seizures Yesterday And Passed Away. Our Poor Baby Dex He Would Only Be 4 Months Old On Tuesday Feb.1 2005. I Don't Know What Was Wrong With Him. He Was Sick Since The Day We Got Him. Now I Have To Tell My Son, But I Don't Want To Break His Little Heart. That Was His Christmas Present And He Loved Him So Much. Just Yesterday He Said " Can We Bring Dexter Home Tomarrow? How Am I Going To Tell Him That Our Poor Baby Died? We Already Miss Her. Please Say A Prayer For Our Little Baby. Rest In Peace Beautiful Baby Boy!

Gentle, gentle hugs for you and your son. I am so sorry to hear about Dexter. At least his struggle is over and he is at peace.

Oh I am so saddened to hear you lost Dexter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ...

When I lost Half-Pint, this poem was given to me to help with her loss. Id like to share it with you

"Fly"
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise the sun will set
But I won't forget.

I am so sorry for your loss. I posted to you the other day about how I lost my puppy on January 16th. It was so very sad for us as well. And like you said mine was sick since the day we got him. My daughter is 4 and I told her that our dog needed extra care that we couldn't give him so he had to stay where he was so that he can get the care that he needed. I am sure my daughter thinks that the Vet is taking care of him, but I didn't want her to go through the pain right now of telling her he was in heaven. It is a personal choice depending on how you feel your son will best handle this. I told my daughter one time that I had a dog and when she asked where he is I said in heaven because he had died and to this day she stills talk about him and asks questions. I can tell it really really bothered her that he isn't here anymore, and I knew she wouldn't be able to handle the pain of our puppy dying as well. I just wanted to give you some options, and tell you what worked best for us. I since bought a new yorkie pup this weekend and he seems to be doing very well. I bought a bigger one this time, (weighs more) and he is very playful. I now have to take legal action against my breeder as I found out she has done this to others and refuses to make things right.

Good luck to you and your family and my prayers are with your Dexter and my Mickey who are in heaven together.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. My Oscar is 4 months old and I can't even begin to think of life without him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son during this difficult time. Jesus needed a little Yorkie baby named Dexter to play with all those human babies in Heaven! I am sure they are all overjoyed with his precious presence...Rest in peace, baby Dexter...rest in peace.

Debbie, Oscar's Mom

I too send my sympathys. I have lost a dog in the past and know exactly how you feel. even the loss of yours brings a tear to my eye. someone told me the best way to handle a loss like that is to get another and put your energy into a new one. you can never forget or replace the one you had but it somehow makes it easier.
we will also join in the prayer for baby dexter

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 01-31-2005, 10:48 AM

I can not even imagine what you are going through...we have a 4 month old and just got a new baby and can't imagine anything happening to either of them...you are in my prayers and hope that greater things can come of this....

PixieMama · 01-31-2005, 10:54 AM

How awful... I am very sorry about little Dexter. My heart goes out to you and your family...

Give a big tender hug to your son for me... maybe Dexter was just to good to be here among us and deserved to go above as a little angel that now he is forever...

My prayers are with you...

Dexter's Mom · 01-31-2005, 01:02 PM

Thank you everyone for all the kind things you are posting. My son is not feeling well today so I haven't told him yet- he is about to turn 5 so at that age it is still hard to understand why things happen. I am going to wait till he is feeling better. I contacted the breeder and they said I need to bring Dexter to their vet for an autopsy and from there they will determine if we get a new puppy. I don't want to pick Dexter up and see him like that. It will be so hard. And their vet is more than 1 hour away from where I live. Sometimes life is so unfair. Thank you again for all the prayers.
