I dont think that what all I wrote would help anyone, because im so confused my self. all I can say if you dont feel like what your vet tells you then please keep going to another vet. if they say your baby is dehydrated. then make sure they give her/him Iv's. we didnt have much time after seeing two different vets. and I knew what they was telling me was not what was going on with my baby.I do believe it was in her head, but dont understand why they could not help her. and I feel like they could of did more for her. and not let her suffer like my Minnie must of.

Deb, This has got to be the hardest thing you have ever had to write. I am so very sorry for you. We are all feeling your pain, and wish we could help take it away. We have all been praying for you and your family, not knowing really what to say. I do wish the doctors could have kept Minnie out of pain, and found the problem, corrected it, and had her back in your arms. All I can do now it send you lots of hugs, and prayers for you and your family. Love, Darlene.

I cried so much after reading about sweet little Minnie. I am truly very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through right now. You all are in my prayers. Rest in peace sweet little angel.

Deb, I am so sorry. I think your story might help someone. If for nothing else to push the vets. I am a big believer in what a holistic/acupuncture vet can do - but only because I was at a point where I had to keep seeking out advice from vets. I used to raise Bichons & I had a male who had odd symptoms & had a a stroke. One vet gave him cortisone and sent us home with little hope he would live. But we went to see an acupuncturist - with herbs & acupuncture my boy's life was changed. He went from being paralyzed to walking. But it was only because I kept pushing & seeking out a vet.

But we had more time on our side than sweet Minnie did. Unfortunately these vets do not know it all & there is so much they can not control. You can not blame yourself. I know you miss her so much, & that it is so painful. This tells me what an incredible heart you have and how much love you have.

again i'm so sorry about minnie.

it seems that whatever plagued her happened so fast. whatever was bothering her was neurological it seems and an MRI probably would have told you more but unfortunately there wasn't enough time. maybe if you had a 24 hour er vet they could have kept her but i think the vet was right, there was nothing they could do at night that you couldn't do at home and she was happier with you. very sad but at least she was happy with you the last day and not alone at the vet.

Deb, I know how difficult that must have been to write...I bawled just reading it. But some how, some way, Minnie's death will not be in vain. She was a little trooper 'til the end. Somebody out there will read this, somebody with a sick baby...maybe even me, and will understand how important it is to continue to seek, until you are able to find medical care. I too do not have easy access to a 24 hour emergency vet...I would have to drive for hours to find one. But after reading this, I think if anything were to happen to Winston, and the vet told me to take him home and keep him comfortable, that there would be no one at the office to stay with him ...I would immediately be in my car looking for that 24 hour ER Vet...and I'd keep driving until I found one or he took his last breath. I will always and forever keep this in my mind...Minnie lived for a reason and she died for one too. May you some how find peace and comfort...Minnie would want you to be happy and smile when you think of her. Of course I know it's the hardest thing in the world to do right now, but remember her and do it with a smile. Love, Kathy

Default Sharing some storys about My Minnie

I am so heartbroken over the loss of my little sweet Minnie. so I thought I would write a little on my life with such a precious baby. she was one of a kind, I can say that. we drove 2 hours to see her. she was just getting back from the vets having her shots with her litter mates. that's the first time we set eyes on her. there was 2 little girls and 3 boys in this litter. this was the mothers Sara Jane's first litter. We wanted a girl and looked at both the little females, Minnie was a little smaller then the rest, but not by much. I knew as soon as I saw her that she was our Minnie. named before we even saw her. ( My DH said we now Have Mickey lets go find our Minnie, and that's just what we did.) She was only 8 weeks old and was such a calm baby. we were suppose to go shopping on our way home. but we had Mickey and Minnie with us now so I sit in the Durango while my DH and DD shopped. when we got home. my DD turned Minnie upside down on her lap and she just laid there sleeping like that, Mickey would never allow us to do this to him. he was not comfortable in that persision.well from that day this is the way Little Minnie would often sleep. I remember sleeping many nights on the living room floor so I could be there with both of my baby's. then they both started sleeping with me and DH. and there has never been a night in those 4 years that we slept apart other then 2 nights I stayed at my mothers.and 3 nights in Fl. and for the birth of my grandbabys. any other time I was with them 24/7...Minnie was a smart girl. she knew so much . she knew bye bye meant we were going for a ride, boy did she love car rides, she would run as fast as she could to the car and wait for us to pick her up to put her in. we live in the country on 5 acres. so we were very far from the road and was able to just let her run out there. she knew outside and potty. she knew no but we never really had to say that to her much for she was such a good girl.she knew what want a bite ment. Dadys home.bed time. wheres your ball, go get a toy. lets play. kitty cat. and so much more. when I would mop the kitchen, Mickey loved to play with the mop. I would say no Mickey and Minnie would come and grab him by the leg and drag him out of the kitchen. it was so funny. Minnie was my lap baby. in four years if I was sitting down , she was in my lap. no matter how many times id have to get up for some thing, she wait and stood on her back legs to get back in her spot. when she was around one year old and not knowing much about Yorkies, DH feed her and Mickey some fatty pork. they was sick for 3 days. it was such a scare. Minnie loved the extra attention and would just roll over on her back for DH to rub her tummy and make over her, ( he would say aww my baby min min she fell over and cant get up) you could see her lay very still yet her stub wiggled a mile a minute. she had never for got that. the next few years she would often hear Dh come home and she would run to the door way so he would be the first thing he saw when coming in and she would flop over laying so still waiting for him. you could tell she was so excited yet she laid as still as she could. as soon as DH would see her he would run over too her. saying those same words. aww my baby min min she fell over and cant get up) She knew she not only had me wrapped around her little paw but she had daddy that way too. She was never much of a kisser, but some times she would see Mickey, Hes are Kisser) kissing us and she would get a little jealous and run over and kiss us too. she wanted him to stop and as silly as it sounds she knew how to work him to get him away from us. she would sniff him below, and get him excited and once he jumped down she would jump in his place a give a little growl. ( poor Mickey) but mickey some times did her that way too. running to sleep in her spot and watching to see what she would do, then he would just go ahead and let her have her spot.
after baths was there fav play time . Mickey would wait on Minnie to get hers done and the chase would be on, I would say get him Minnie and around and around they would go. I never had Minnie fixed and when in heat Mickey would start to hump her and even though she was allowing it, all i had to so is say no. and she would then give him a little growl. like it was all his fault.lol. She knew the sound of the computer shutting down, even if you made that sound with your mouth she knew it and she also knew, its her turn to play and would run off to get her ball. her ball never laid far from her, many nights she slept with that ball. she was very protective of her ball and didn't like other dogs playing with it. but if the grandbabies would grab it up she would sit quitely until they laid it down then she would run and get it and hide it in my lap. She loved to play fetch and would always bring the ball back to you. some times Mickey would grab it before she could and off he would run with it, she would pace back and forth not knowing what to do. but if you didn't chase Mickey with the ball he would soon lay it down right in front of the stove and it would roll right under neath. Minnie would lay on the floor looking under there at her ball. begging for some one to get it for her, if you didn't she would come to you and sit up and beg an if you would say what baby? she would run to the stove to let you know her ball was under there. this happened every day. lol I had never heard Minnie yelp ever. even playing roughly with her ball she once ran so fast she ripped her nail. blood every where, you know it had to hurt but yet she was not done playing, she held her little leg up and wanted you to throw the ball again. she was a little crazy with that ball some times. she didn't care if she hurt her self getting to it and bring it back. so you had to really be careful to where you threw her ball. in the 4 years I cant remember a time that I watched a movie with out sitting on the floor to throw her ball for her. while playing tug of war with Mickey. some times I would even say you two are driving mommy crazy. but now that's shes gone I miss those times so much. Mickey loves my Dh and My mom and my kids . and will also sit on their laps but hes not a lap dog, so he dont stay for long, hed rather curl up next to you. Minnie she was just mine, the only time she was with DH is if I was busy cooking or wasn't home. I have never been as close to any dogs as I have these two. yes I thought I loved them all the same, and I've cried for each one of them when they passed. but I now know that My Minnie was more special to me then any. we had such a bond.She was my life. She never liked to hear a newborn cry, she would pace and run to me and then the baby wanting me to help it. she kissed and loved all small children, even though she was not a kisser she kissed each one when they came over and then she would run to my lap to protect her. we use to go for drives in the summer. fishing with my husband. she enjoyed those times so much.she hated the vets like most animals do and would start shaking even before we walked in. I wished I had more years with her. I'm so lost with out her. it was so hard to sit at first, not being able to feel her on my lap that I would find myself dreading to even sit down, but with a bad back I soon would have to. the nights are the worse, I lay and think about her all night. not fallen to sleep until 7:00 -8:00 am . and the worse time for Mickey was 9 days after she died right after his bath. he went looking for her and was so confused. he would just stare at me ( made me feel like he thought I did some thing with her) it broke my heart to watch like this. he seemed to stay away from me for 2 days. I was heart broken. every time I reached for him he would run to my DH.then one morning i woke up to kisses on my face, so many that it took my breath away. I knew My Mickey was back. I know hes so confused and misses her so much. I some times see him just laying in the window where she use to lay at times and wonder what hes thinking. I been trying to keep him busy and to help him heal. My DH took it hard too and I have never seen him cry so much as he did that first week. I know our life's will never be the same with out our Minnie. and that I have to try and be strong for me, Mickey and My family, together we will get over all this pain.and some day just remember all the good times. I dont know how but I know all this crying is not good for us, and so we must stay strong.

Oh Deb, I cannot tell you how sorry I am, and how much I wish I could take your pain away. We get so attached to our babies, that they are like an arm or leg to our bodies. The love that we feel for them are unconditional, and the same for them to us. You don't get over the loss, you just learn to move on, and cope, which will take a while. Take your time. We will always be here. My heart goes out to you and your family. dar.

I am so sorry that you lost your little Minnie. I also lost my little Jag on Monday the 19th. I still cannot believe he is gone, it all seems like a bad dream. I have been so upset since this happened. I have had to take a week off from work to try to get myself together. I totally understand how you feel. I also had that same bond that you describe you had with your Minnie. Jag and I had been through a lot together.... just the two of us, before I met my husband. I think it was making it through those really tough times that made our bond so strong. I always knew I could face anything life threw my way with him right beside me. Im praying the Lord will help you and your family through this terrible loss.
