I cry whenever I think of Truffles and I wouldn't want her to think I'm trying to replace her. No one could.
My husband says I should just think of the happy times and that she is happy now, at the Rainbow Bridge. I know I should take his advice, but, all I can do is cry.
I feel so sorry for all of you who have lost your babies. I never thought I could feel this way. I didn't just love Truffles. I was in love with her. I'm sure I'm not saying something new to anyone. But, thanks again for all the consolation.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Truffles. Buster is my first dog and I am completely head over heels in love with him. I have always cared about the pets my friends and family have had, but it was not until Buster came into my life that I truly knew what is was to LOVE and be LOVED. I can not even fathom what an hole there must be in your heart after 15 years. You will not be able to replace Truffles but I am sure there is a place in your big heart for a new Yorkie someday. I think Truffles would be glad to know that her loved ones had found another furbaby to bring back that special Yorkieness into their life. I truly believe she would want you to be happy she just would not want to be forgotten. Which I know would never happen. Bless you and your sweet Yorkie Angel Truffles.

Thanks so much for your sympathy. It really helps to hear other people's stories.
I think you said it well that the pain will never go away. I'm certain of that.

I appreciate all the encouraging words I've received from everyone.

No, I don't think the pain of loss ever really does go away. I still miss Muffin. She was "special" and even though I love Kacee just as much, it would be so nice to have them both. It does leave a big hole in your heart and I can still remember even after getting Kacee that there were times when I had some trouble dealing with my grief for her, but it became more fleeting as time passed and I have been so grateful and so very blessed to have Kacee to help fill that big hole in my heart.

I am so sorry for your loss, and understand the pain of losing a beloved pet. I was almost surprised at how devastated I was when I lost my little Schnauzer girl 3 years ago, unexpectedly at only 8. The tears just kept flowing and flowing, but somewhere along the line I was able to think about her and appreciate all the happy times we had together.

I got another pup, my Yorkie Tiki about 2 months after, and it sure lifted my spirits. I fell in love all over again and eventually added 3 more fur girls.

Maybe in time you will feel like opening your heart to a new little one again. Not as a replacement, but just another little bundle of joy to light up your life.

I haven't posted in a while myself and felt I should....On Jan. 14th 2011, I had to say goodbye to my Molly. She was only 11 1/2 yrs. old. She had an enlarged liver and heart and alot of difficulty breathing. After many drugs and testing , she was diagnosed with cushings disease and possibly a tumour in her upper nasal . I had 2 opinions and with much lover for her.....well she crossed over the rainbow bridge and I am really having a hard time.
She came into my life shortly after my dad died at 58 suddenly and she gave me reason to get up and keep going. My husband had said to her one day, "thanks for giving me my wife back". She was sooo special. I have 2 other yorkies aged 9 1/2 and 7 and I know I need to keep strong for them as they are grieving also. But as you know , no 2 yorkies are alike. I will add another to my life I know, as I really love the puppy stage, but just need to come here and be with people who understand what its like.
Thankyou for reading :*(

so sorry for your loss of truffles. i know how hard it is, believe me. i lost my little nika last august and i still miss her so much every day. i still cry for her a lot. i do feel that she is still with me always through our love that will never go away. you also have 15 years of beautiful memories of her no one can ever take away. i adopted a 5 month old puppy in october and it has helped to comfort me and my other yorkie, zowi (zowi is nikas mother) and she keeps us busy. they all have a special place in our hearts and always will. i am so grateful for the time i had with nika because she touched my heart and life in a very special way, same as my other 2 girls in their own ways. i don't know what i would've done without having zowi comfort me through the loss of nika. so i wish you the best of luck finding a new baby to help your heart heal. keeping you in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. and welcome to yorkie talk, this site is full of wonderful people and very useful info! r.i.p. sweet truffles

My sympathies to Molly and Nika's moms and Sandy. They were way too young to go to the Rainbow Bridge.
Truffles and all those other little ones are truly angels.
Buster Brown's mom, you are so right. No matter how many people love you, there is no feeling that compares to our little furbabies affection.
I too, got my Truffles a while after losing my dad and it really brought me out of my depression. I often thought that my dad sent her to me from Heaven to help me.

I know I will get to love another Yorkie someday in the future.

I am so sorry for your lost of Truffles. I know the heartache and pain you are going through. We lost our Brody to kidney failure a year ago this past January after a long fight of sub-Qing with fluids at home, special diet, meds. We knew what was coming and it was heartwrenching. They are such a big part of your family and life. We got a little one memorial weekend named Louie. Louie does not replace Brody,but Louie sure brought alot of joy back into the house. The pain does lessen in time. Your in my thoughts and prayers

I am so very sorry for your loss of Truffles. It is never easy to loose them. I lost one in October and then another in December. Prior to that I had lost 5 others. It is never easy.

I look forward to adding another little yorkie to the mix here in time, but don't know when that should be. Should I wait a while yet or just do it? It is far to quiet around here and I'm not getting any younger (51). I will always grieve for my Molly Muffin , that I know.....

[Trufflesmom]

Mattie,
I know, for me, I'm not ready yet. It's only been 2 months. However, knowing that I will be ready in the coming months, I've contacted a breeder to see what's available. It's a tough decision and I don't think there's a right answer. You just have to go with your gut. If it feels right to you, then, go ahead. My house is very lonely without Truffles, but, yet, I seem to feel guilty about getting another Yorkie too soon.
I know another pup will never replace my baby, but, still, I just can't do it yet. I'm 58, so I know what you mean that you're not getting any younger. But, I think a puppy will make you feel young. And, maybe if you're really unsure about getting a new pup, that might mean you're not quite ready yet.
Hope this has made some sense to you. I feel your pain. Good luck with your decision.

Vickie,

Thank you so much for your sympathy. I can't imagine having lost that many furbabies.
How in the world have you been able to get through it? I'd love some help on this. I have moments where I can hardly breathe, I miss her so much. This has been such a difficult ordeal for me and my husband.

I am so sorry for your loss. My parents had to put our family yorkie Cody down the day after Christmas this year. He was 7 and had congestive heart failure. It was such a difficult time over the holidays but at least our whole family was there to say goodbye. While they can never be replaced a new yorkie might help keep you busy and help your house feel less lonley. My parents are both 54 and they just got 2 new yorkie babies and they are definitely helping my parents coupe with the loss of Cody and are for sure making them feel young. I wish you the best...and I am sure your baby is enjoying himself at the rainbow bridge.

[Mollysmom411999]

Thankyou, and actually my name is Debbie, sorry I didnt day that earlier.
Yes its only been maybe 6 weeks and I am still so heartsick. I cry at least 3 x a day and have to hide my tears as people don't understand. I want another baby but like you said I will know when the times is right. I feel awfully guilty talking about it right now. Again thankyou so much for listening and I wish I came to the forum sooner.

I'm sorry for your parents loss of Cody. I'm glad the new babies are helping them cope with their loss and maybe thats what I'm hoping for too!
Thanks for your kind words!
