I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. You are right, you are among the people who truly understand on YT. I still miss my Baby Chloe so much. I do get happiness from my other girls and it does help. I can't wait to see your new puppy. I hope it helps some too.

I am so glad you are getting a baby to help your heart heal a tiny bit. We can never replace our ones that leave us but we can pass on our love to another one.

I just sent you a pm. I know how much you loved your little Cherry. I feel so sad for your loss and glad to hear you are getting another puppy. When the love of my life, my little 2 year old Yorkie passed away suddenly last October I felt just the way you do. How can this happen? How can life be so cruel? I honestly felt as if I had lost a child. I actually left town for three weeks because I could not stand to be in my house with so many memories of my baby everywhere. When I finally returned home I had Cherry's sister, Dolce in my arms. Another puppy will not take away the memories of your cherished baby but will ease the pain of your loss. Take care and looking forward to pictures of you new baby.

I am sorry for how you are feeling! I am going through the samething. We just put our Jack down on Saturday and all I do is cry. I went through this before with a Golden and cried for 2 weeks!
Some people just don't understand the relationship others develope with their pets. To many think they are just pets or just animals, but to us they are family members and kids. Never feel guilty for how you feel. It will take time. It is like grieving for the loss of a family member and their is nothing wrong with that. I have already started my search for our next one! You will be in my thoughts!!

I can totally relate to the way you are feeling as my wife and I are both beside ourself with greif over the loss of our little Yorkie Poo, Spike. Other people may not understand the way you are feeling because they aren't going through the emotional trauma that you are, but that doesn't lessen the validity of your pain. Everyone deals with their greif differently so I wouldn't worry for a second what others think about how you are feeling...

Our Spike was the sweetest little boy who melted your heart and kept a smile on your face! I have owned many dogs in my 48 years, but none have ever been as close to me as my little Spikie... I love him and miss him more than words can express...

Yesterday morning I woke up and laid in bed for over an hour thinking about my day ahead and how it was going to be a great day with friends and a concert to go to, etc... When I got out of bed and walked past the doors to our pool, I noticed our little female Yorkie Poo, Gypsy, was running around the pool in a panic so I went to the door to see why when I saw my best friend floating in the pool by the stairs right by our room... I was paralyzed in horror for a minute before I could cry out to my wife, "Our dog is dead! Oh, my God... Our dog is dead..."

We have taught both of them where to get out of our pool and have watched them do it many, many times, so we never worried about them around it after we were sure they knew the drill... the water where we picked him out of the water was only 5" deep at the top step. The guilt of knowing that I was probably laying in bed awake as he died 10 feet away from me is overwhelming and the visual of his terrified panic in his last moments of life as he was counting on his daddy to rescue him has kept me in gut wrenching pain and dispair for two days straight and will haunt me until the day I die...

If losing my best friend isn't bad enough, seeing the effect it has taken on our Gypsy is hearbreaking. She had to watch helplessly as he drowned and is still looking in the pool for him. She won't eat and just lays on their blanket and waits for him...

These little guys take up a lot of space in our hearts and when they are taken from us long before their time it is devestating beyond anyone's wildest dreams. So be assured that you are in no way alone on this bumpy road and you have a valid reason to feel the way you do! ...and no one has the right to suggest the way you should or should not feel...

That new puppy will help alot. It will really help the grieving. Not only was I grieving but when you have other dogs they also grieve. When Max passed away, Mandy grieved until we brought Kayla to live with us. When we decided to buy a yorkie it really helped us all. She was so full of life that Mandy and Tina both played like puppies again and I was able to go a day or two without crying. I kept Max and Mandy's ashes and they are in the computar room. I know alot of people scatter their ashes later but somehow it makes me feel like they are still here with me. I hate when I hear people say, they are only dogs. They really have been missing out on alot when they have that mind set. Enjoy your new baby and always keep Cherry in your heart.
