I'm sorry about Peanut and this is one of the most difficult times of year. We're all getting ready for the holidays but that one thing is not here. The happy little yorkie who made our lives so complete. I'm afraid to go in the attic into the christmas bin as i know his stocking is in there. I have 3 dogs now. they all have "paw" stockings with their names on it. I can't bring myself to go up and take those stockings out as i cannot handle it. I cry as i write this. I lost spike just over a month ago. everday i live that dreaded day at the vet when spike was diagnosed with cancer in one day and couldn't breathe anymore. i had no idea there was anything wrong with him till i saw the xray with a huge tumor in his chest and heart. we were eating pizza the nite before (he loved pizza). i remember how he kissed my nose when they administered that terrible fluid into him to end his life. as he drifted away from me, i held my face against his so i felt he could take me with him as he left. i then held his lifeless body for another half hour before they took him away.

It's nice to read these other posts. it's nice that you buried peanut with his things as that is what made him comfortable in life...he took those with him in his next life....Peanut was your yorkie angel and he'll be waiting for you with that robe!
i've attached last year's photo of my pooches. spike is sitting next to santa on the left. Jenny - Spike's mom :aimeeyork

No, he wasn't. He was much like your Peanut. I got Ramsey probably within a month of Trace dying. Reese was a gift from a member here who I've become close friends with...and Reg...just cause. ;) So I have three and it's all because of Trace.

I have friends who loved Trace as much as I...and every Christmas..his picture is displayed at their house too.

Jenny...that is a wonderful picture.

You did what any loving animal lover does when the time comes. The most unselfish act of all. All of us here...at some time... who accepted the love and companionship of a pet...also has to accept the eventual heartache.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Tammy I'm so sorry you are having a difficult time right now. I know you understand it's because you loved little Peanut so much that you struggle now.

My poodle Indy will be gone for two years Christmas Day. I think of him often and his picture is in a silver frame on my lamp table in the living room.

I put his stocking out last year and again this year right next to Tinkerbelle's. I got him a present too and put it in his little stocking. His present is a donation to the county shelter where I got him as a 10 wk old puppy. I love my little Tinkerbelle very much but Indy was my soul-doggy and there will never be another like him.

Don't worry; Peanut knows you loved him and that you are sad at how he went over the rainbow bridge. He's happy htere. :)

Oh Tammy, I am so sorry about your sweet Peanut. I wish I had better words of comfort.... I know he will always be in your heart and you gave him such a happy life. It is so hard at this time of year - I miss my Tinkerbell, too. Just wanted you to know that we are sending hugs.

Tammy, I'm sorry that your heart is so sad. Peanut was so blessed to have you as his mommy. I believe that that is what this time of year is for, to count our blessings and recall good memories with those who are not with us anymore.
My avitar is our Saint when I was 7 and sis was 4. We found pictures of him this year and have shed more tears remembering him & missing him than we did as children.
When Jack, my Maltese, passed 5 years ago I kept his Christmas stocking. A year ago when Sunnie had her last litter, my granddaughter saw the little male being born and named him BlackJack. We fell in love and kept him & his name. When we were putting up decorations I found my dear Jack's sock....and hung it up for BlackJack. It gave new life, new meaning, to an old treasure and brought some healing to my broken heart.
Prayers for a wonderful Holiday Season. Hugs. jeanie

OMGod, I am so sorry :( Your post made me cry for you and Spike. He looked like such a sweet little guy. Maybe he and Peanut are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge. I'd like to think that anyway. Please take care and again, I'm very sorry.
:hug:
Tammy

Thank you so much sweetie :hug: What you said means so much to me.
I didn't know you lost Indy on Christmas day :( What a horrible thing to happen anytime, but on Christmas, that's terrible.

Hugs,
Tammy

Lisa,
I didn't know you had a Tinkerbell. Was she a Yorkie too? I'm sorry for your loss.
You know how much I treasure Abby and Daisy, so this post I hope doesn't take anything away from them. As I said before, if it weren't for Peanut, I probably wouldn't have my baby girls.

Thank You Lisa :hug: and Merry Christmas to you and your family.


Thank You Jeanie. It's so hard to lose them, but they bring us so much joy while they are here. I try hard to hang on to that.
Hugs,
Tammy

Tammy.. I am so sorry for your loss. Peanut is blessed to have you as his Mom. My heart goes out to you. I think of Grizzley Bear everyday and always shed a tear. It has been a year and two months. I find comfort knowing that him and Peanut are at the Rainbow Bridge loving life and watching over us. Sending big warm hugs to you. I will be thinking about you. Take care.

Hugs,
Mary

Dear Tammy,
I just wrote the following poem especially for you in rememberance of Peanut.
I know how hard it is, we too had to give back our precious Cassie, how very Blessed we are to have God's most loving gift, these precious furbabies, even when we must give them back to HIM, they are forever in our hearts.
Hugs and with our love, Patti and Jack and our girls.

Missing our "kids"
 

It will be hard at our house this year too. Not only our two yorkie boys who died this Jan., our Annie girl who was with us from our first anniversary in '93 will be missing this year. Their memories and presence live on in our hearts and we cherish the time they were with us. Like you, there are two more yorkie boys in our lives to help us get through this first holiday w/o our other "kids". Bob

oh my, where were you when I was trying to put all my feelings on paper 5 years ago when the vet killed my pooh..thanks for doing this patti.. how wonderful of you...

Honey I know how your feeling... our first three yorkies were recues and they too were just happy souls glad to be loved and fed and to sleep with us we never imagined when we took in our first one.. how life would take us into the yorkie world.. our first I had not even known what a yorkie was...we have lost 4 and I have three urn's.. for first lost one.. our friends buried her with their dog that died the week before.. I miss them all the time.. and I so love the babies I have but those memories will not fade until I do... sending you hugs.. I felt so alone back then, feeling no one understood how I felt.. what losing a furbutt would me to me.. I sure wish I had this place and such wonderful people back then...
Put Peanuts picture in the stocking and keep it near you over christmas.. for I know his little feet or still close by you ... you just cannot see them.. but I know they are there...

Dear Patti,
I don't even know what to say. This is the best Christmas gift anyone could have given me and it comforted me more than I can express.
Thank You Patti, from the bottom of my heart.
Love, Tammy

Thank You Anne :hug:
You are very dear to me. I appreciate your words to me here.
Love, Tammy
