it is one of those horrible days again:(
 

I am crying really hard now, all i need is Cherry, i am going through hard times in my life now and Cherry was always there to comfort me, but now she is not here..i wish she could be here, she was my best friends...
I feel so lonely without her, it's been a month but it seems like yesterday when it happened, she never leaves my head, i think about her all the time...
I seems so unfair that this happened to me...there are so many ppl with their healthy dogs, having fun with them, and i just don't think it is fair that she is gone from me so soon...
all the ppl around me don't understand me, they think that i am just exaggerating this, but they don't know what it is like to lose a best friend, we were so close, only God would understand....she just made my life complete but now i am missing that part again...i wish she would just come back, it seems so unfair...
sorry if there are so many typing errors, it is hard to type when you are crying so much..i don't want to cry anymore......

When I lost Bijou, I grieved sooooo. My dad made the comment that I lost babies and did not grieve like I did losing a "dog". Some people can not understand that though they walk on 4 legs they are much much more than just a "dog". Give yourself time to heal. Don't EVER feel guilty about grieving for your little Cherry. In mho those who can not understand the grief of losing them does not truly understand the depth of our love for them either. I kind of pity them. I pray your heartache will ease.

oh sweetie, im so sorry your in this much pain, as i would be too. just know that we are all here for you anytime ok??? im praying that god help you heal your broken heart.... i wish i could be there to give you a hug.. you take care
ok...

My heart goes out to you. It seems unbearable some days. Maybe one day you can bear to bring another on in to help fill the void a little.

Im sorry. And, I totally know where your heart and mind are. I am still doggyless. I miss mine every day. People tell me to get another or even two more. But, I know new ones could never replace mine. That's why I am still without any.

On July 31st, 2007, I lost my best friend, Pebbles...She was an English Mastiff...ironic, right? I absolutely ached in my body, I missed her so much...It took me a year and a half to get another best friend...I love my little Apple so much, but I will never forget my dear Pebbles...Time heals the pain, but the memories always stay...I'm so sorry for your loss, and so sorry that you hurt so much...My eyes are welling, thinking about your broken heart, and I don't even know you...I do know what you are going through, and "this too will pass"...Just grieve, while you need to, and then, when the time is right, start letting it go, and look beyond your pain...You'll know when the time comes...Like the post before mine, we do understand, and it's not important that other people don't...There is probably more depth to our souls than those who don't love like we do...Be happy you are capable of loving like that...I will be praying that God eases your pain...Take Care.....
Love, Maggie

My dh came in & saw me with tears rolling down my face. When he asked what was wrong I just pointed at the screen. He read all of your replies & said, "we know just how they feel don't we!" The day that Sis died, the day after my 49th bday. He came into the bedroom as he was leaving for work to tell me that Sis seemed not to doing good....he said he was going to the office, getting the guys off & coming home to be with us when the time came. Before I could put my pj bottoms on, he came back into our bedroom & said she was gone. Bijou who was my first yorkie who was killed unexpectantly as was Anna my dobie. Our min schnauzer Sis, whom we knew was going to die, still devasted us. As I said in my tribute to the 10th Anv. of Bijou death, it took almost a decade before I could own another yorkie. We have had many rescues, including one called Nugan, who was a mixed breed w/a lot of springer spaniel in him, he was hit by a Farfenuugen (?) by VW. We saw the car hit him pulled over and took him to our vet in SRB FL. No one claimed him & we paid the bill (in pymt), a yellow lab that had been tied to a post to the point the collar embedded in his neck; we called him Boomer due to the sound of his tail on the floor. He was killed by a fisherman shooting at an alligator, it just happened that he hit Boomer. Losing a pet, a "family" member where we are concerned is never easy. My heart goes out to each of you who have felt the pain that rips a heart into. Please do not cut yourself off from the wonderful world of our 4 legged babies, as there are soooooo many who needs us. The pain never gets "easy" as we lose the ones we love, whether they have 2 legs or 4; we must continue to love even though we know that pain will happen again. Not to open yourself up to another, locks you away from the love that can be. You will never "replace" nor should you even contemplate such. You merely open yourself up to love another.....giving them & yourself another chance.

Im so sorry hun, I know exactly how you feel. I lost my little Minnie Jan 9th she was only 4. I think about her every day. I do have other pets and I love them too, But Minnie was so special to me and well life will never be the same for me again.it does get a little easier, but it never goes away. and Im so sorry you have to go through this. prayers to you.

I'm so very sorry.
I do know all too well what you are going through.
I wish with all my heart there was something I could do or say that would take the pain away. In time it will get better. I still miss my precious little Kayla who I lost last July. She was the light of my life.
I will continue to keep you in my prayers and ask God to comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Please keep in touch, as there are so many of us here that care and will continue to keep you in our prayers.

I am so sorry....I know your heart hurts literally...My heart breaks for you...I am keeping you in my prayers

Hi, I don't know when you lost your baby, I'm not on here much. But I do understand what you are going through. I lost my cat, she was 21 years old, I got her when I was 17 years old, I fed her on a bottle, her eyes were not even open yet. I lost her because of pet food recall in 2006, it was useless. She was in great health, acted like a kitten most of the time. I felt I poisoned her, because I feed it to her. I did not want to live, she was my whole world, my husband and I don't have children, she was it. I cried all the time. Finally I realize my baby would not want me to be so upset, she always hated it when I cried, she would lick my face and meow at me until I stopped. We decided to get a Yorkie, if not I was going to go crazy. I have to have something to take care of. I bought Chance, she was named Chance because, I was taking a " chance " she would make me feel a little better, and she did. I am not saying I don't still cry for my cat, because I do from time to time. If you are like me it might help if you got another baby, it helps for you to taking care of something, it keeps your mind working. I lost my baby Dec 17th 2006, by Jan 8th I got Chance, not because I didn't love my cat, because I loved her with all my heart and soul. But I knew she would not want me to be so sad and hurting. It is something for you to think about . So sorry for your loss, and sorry this is so long, I just wanted to help if I could. Sandy

Sandy,
I'm with you we got Kaylee about 2 months after we lost rhenny...and she would never replace our rhen but she has brought us such joy..I was just telling her that yesterday....I still think of rhenny every day and everything reminds me of her but Kaylee has really helped our whole family to smile again..

Hon, give yourself some time, I remember when I loss CookieDough my cat she was such a wonderful cat, it was so hard:( I think is why I got Phoebe, if is anything I can do to help, please let me know, abrazos (hugs) for you:animal-pa

Thank you all of you for the very nice encouraging words...I really mean alot to me, thats why i always come here and pour out my heart here understand me very well, i wish i had other ppl around me that understood as much, but ohh well, i have yorkietalk to talk my feeling with, you guys really are so nice here, i am so glad i found this forum:)
i agree with you guys on getting a new yorkie, this is what my parents and friends say to me and encourage me to do...and i am getting a new yorkie, she is coming this monday and i am really exited about her!i am not getting her to replace Cherry at all!!! But like some of you said, i need something to take care of, something to keep me busy, get my mind of this negative thinking all the time...and i think it will help me...if not, i think i might go crazy without my Cherry:(

Such a sweet little girl yorkie. I had Harley D and DJ for little more than a year when they died a week apart Jan 08. The sorrow is still there as I look at their little resting places. I have fond memories and pictures of those two little guys and they will always have a place in my heart as my first yorkies. Zack and Zeke were adopted shortly after they died and are two different guys that are adding to my yorkie memories.

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.

My heart goes out to you....
 

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!!

Feeling Your Pain
 

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.
