I lost my Yorkie Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I lost my Yorkie, Truffles, on 12/24/10. That was one day after she turned 15. I guess she had been 'going down hill' the last couple of months. And, finally, when I woke up that morning, Christmas eve, I knew I couldn't let her go another day. She wasn't suffering, but, her appetite was so bad the last few weeks and she really wasn't doing much. With the holiday and some family issues, we knew we had to 'do something'. I called my vet and he told me to come right over and an hour later, it was all over. It's been a very hard couple of months ever since and we miss her more than I ever thought we could. It's just me and my husband now and it's very lonely without my spirited little girl around. I guess I'll post an 'introduction' on another thread,but for now, I figured I'd post this. Pam |
I am so sorry. It is so heartbreaking to lose one of our babies. I hope when the time is right you find the perfect yorkie to share your heart with. |
So sorry about Truffles. It's never easy when a pet dies they are a part of the family. You came to the right place for support there are so many wonderful people that understand what you are going through. I know how you feel I lost my girl in October and our house is so quiet and we miss her terribly. Let yourself grieve and try to remember the good times. Truffles will always be with you. |
So sorry for your loss. I had to put my 17 yr old cat down in July and it was tough. Hope you feel better soon. |
Pam, I'm so sorry you lost your precious Truffles!! How sad!! Have you considered adopting a rescue...or getting another yorkie in the future? I'm only asking because my daughter lost her yorkie to a tragic accident..and so we got her another yorkie..not to replace Lily...but just because we knew how desperately she wanted a yorkie in her life...and she said Jazzy helped her thru so much grief! It's something to consider....especially since it's been a couple months..:) Welcome to YT. |
Thank you for your sympathy Thanks so much for the sympathy all of you have given me. It really helps to have support. I could go on for hours and days about my special girl and how much I miss her but, I think all of you already know how I feel. It's good to know that I'm not alone in my grief. Yes, I have been thinking of another Yorkie. I can never replace Truffles, not ever. But, knowing that, I'm also pretty sure that I'd love to have another little Yorkie girl to share my life with. Yorkies are so special. I'm sure, though, that I'd like a new puppy rather than adopt an older rescue. I want as much time with a new pup as I could get. Thank you again for making me feel welcome. Pam |
I'm so sorry for your loss. Truffles sounds like she was a very special little girl, and I hope your memories are comforting to you. |
so sorry for your loss. I lost my little boy in november and still cry everyday for him. he was 161/2. I feel your pain it is such a hard time. |
So sorry for your loss of Truffles Pam. |
Pam, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Truffles sounds like she was a special, well loved little girl. I lost my 15 year old, Alexander, on December 16 so I understand your pain. It helps to think of them at the rainbow bridge, happy and healthy and playing with the other pups who are waiting to be reunited with their parents, too. God bless and big hugs to you and your husband. Bonny |
There is nothing as special as the memories of so many years spent with a special little yorkie. There is a bond that forms that is like no other. RIP Truffles. You were very loved. |
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Cherish your wonderful memories of Truffle. Rest in Peace, Truffle. |
I am sorry.. the holidays can be stressfull enought without dealing with a loss. I am glad to read you are thinking of another pet.. not to replace.. but to love:) |
I lost my Yorkie Thank you, everyone, so much for your sympathy. It helps to know that others share your grief. 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. Pam |
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Even as our babies age, I don't think there's anything we can do to prepare ourselves for losing them. Nothing can ease the pain but time. It definitely helps to have people who understand your loss and loneliness, and we are here to help you any way that we can. In June we lost our little girl, Ashley, just before her seventeenth birthday. We miss her dearly and the pain is still so great. It is a tribute to Truffles that you want to bring another Yorkie into your lives. My husband and I hope to be able to do the same. When we lost our first Yorkie, we didn't think it was possible to love another little one like her. Then we got Ashley and her two sisters, and we fell hopelessly in love with each of them. Every little one is so different, so there is no way one will replace another. My little girls have such a special place in our hearts, and although they are no longer physically with us, the powerful love lasts forever and they will always be a part of us. I hope that, with each passing day, the beautiful memories of moments shared with Truffles replace the sadness you are feeling. |

I lost my Yorkie 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. Pam |

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 :rbyorkie: |
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. Pam |
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..... |
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. |
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! |
