Roxy gone without a sign or warning
 

she was only 5. She wasn't sick or anything. I left to go to work and my daughter called me about 8 hours later saying that she was scared and blood was everywhere. I left work, no questions asked. i work about 5 minutes from home and the vets office is literally around the corner from my home. I rushed through the door and Roxy was laying on the floor barely breathing. I was so scared to touch her I didn't know what to do. I was in total shock. My daughter picked her up and put her in her bed and we rushed her to the vets office. They rushed her in the back and put her on a ventilator... between home and the vet she was gone but they brought her back. I was too scared to see her. I have lost a child before and because of it, death and me don't understand one another. My Roxy, my rose turned out to be brain dead. I fell to my knees crying what am I suppose to do with out her. My husband left to be there for me and with me, and so did my best friend.
Dr. Knowles told me that he may see this case once a year, some animals can get a rare bacteria from eating grass, dirt whatever and it takes over and there are no signs and their vital organs begin shut down. My baby... gone without a sign or warning.
i have some relief in knowing that she waited for me to get home before she left. but I cant help but think... what could I have done. what did I do wrong... I miss her oh Lord do I miss her. She was my 3 pound baby... a small Yorkie with a big breed mentality. I will and can not ever forget her.
i have not taken this well. My husband and kids did bring me a new Yorkie. I named him Yoda. He is my heart. He was not to replace Roxy, but to fill in that hole that I will forever have.
Sometimes I think I can hear her bark. I miss her greeting me at the door. i miss her fussing because she wanted me to pick her up, I miss her chasing my cat. I just miss everything about her.
I love you Roxy... from the day I met you at 4 days old until you turned 5 years old. I will forever miss you!!



My Roxy
September 14, 2004-September 28, 2009

I'm soooo sorry. I'm holding my little 3 lb. one in my arms as I'm reading this. Am holding her extra tight. How devastating this must have been for you. I'm glad you have another to fill the void but that still doesn't stop the hurt. May you find comfort in the memories you made with your little Roxy. ~Joanne~

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry the you lost your baby. Have peace knowing that you gave her a loving wonderful life.

thank you so much. you have no idea how kind your words are and how much they mean to me

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet baby Roxy. I lost my beautiful 5 year old Nala just as suddenly 8/20/2009. I got chills when I read your post. I feel your pain. I still can't believe that she is gone! My heart is broken. It is very hard to accept, and simply impossible to understand. Of course no-one will be able to take Roxy's place but I think that is was wonderful of your family to bring you Yoda, not as a replacement but to help fill the void. My daughter brought me my beautiful Bella just 4 days later. Bella will never take Nala's place in my heart but she has done a wonderful job in helping me to heal and I am sure that Yoda will do the same for you.

I am so very sorry about yr loss of Roxy. I have tears reading yr story about yr precious little girl gone too soon. May talking and sharing her story and the love for her help to ease the pain. So glad u have a new baby to love. I'm glad u found this site & hope to hear more about Yoda. Hugs!

I am so sorry for your little one and what a heart breaker. I do know she is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you.

Im sooo sooo sorry. I have two on my lap right now and tears in my eyes feeling your pain. I too know death and the pain it causes. My deepest sympathies and prayers for you.

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss of sweet Roxy. Wishing you the best with little Yoda... may he keep you smiling.

I am so very sorry for your tragic loss. Sending prayers upwards for comfort and ehugs your way :hands: :hug:

I know the pain of losing a beloved Yorkie and it is a gnawing pain.

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending deep sympathy....

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my little Sophie, and like you had no warning signs. She even acted completely normal 5 min before she passed. I think it was something like you said..a bacteria or some sort that took over her little body:( She was my everything..so I understand what you\'re going through. My heart goes out to you

My heart goes out to you on the loss of your little Roxy.
