Unbearable grief after freak accident I lost my pixie about a month ago now. It was so horrible, I haven't been even able to consider posting until now, but feel I have to warn others. We had a baby gate into the kitchen and when my seven year old daughter leaned over to pick her up to kiss her goodbye before school like every other morning, the gate gave way and fell onto Pixie. She was tiny (2 lbs) and she just couldn't recover from the trauma. She died that afternoon after having several x-rays and draining her lungs. The vet just couldn't get the internal bleeding to stop. So, any of you using baby gates, make sure the kind that attaches to the wall, not just pressure between the door frames. It was the worst day of my life. I couldn't sleep for days after. I thought something was really wrong with me because I couldn't stop crying & missed days of work. It seemed so unfair to loose Pixie to such a freak accident! I can see after reading some of these other threads, I am not alone in how deeply my grief effected me, and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this forum being here to "talk" to all of you because I think you guys might understand how deeply this has devestated me. |
I am so sorry about your loss and sorrow. Such a loss affects each of us in different ways, but sadness and depression are common. I am glad you posted to tell us about your loss and how you are coping, as well as to tell us of the accident. Take care! |
I am so sorry for your loss. Depression is common, so there is nothing wrong with that. We all grieve in differnt ways, but I hope things will get better for you. |
Oh my! I am soooo terribly sorry to hear about that accident. :( I know it must be so devastating. Only time can heal your pain... It's so hard to lose one of these babies that are part of our family and that we love so dearly. Remember that she is in heaven with God now watching over you and your family. We're all here for you. |
That is terrible. I am soo sorry!!!!!!!!! |
I am so sorry about your loss of your precious Pixie......and it is so kind of you to gather the strength and courage to warn us so it doesn't happen to one of ours. Again, I am so sorry.... :( |
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. |
That is horrible! I am so sorry for your loss. The pain may be unbearable now but it will get better. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. |
I am so so sorry you lost your Pixie...That is truly tragic and it must be the hardest thing to wake up and not see her everyday....My heart goes out to you......It must have been very hard to post this but it was so nice of you to warn others of the dangers of the gates...I'm so sorry you found out about them this way....- Perhaps one day you can look at this poem without crying...but could you maybe read it to your daughter ? I want to send her a hug too - she must have just been so upset.....Bless her heart Dedicated to PIXIE....... Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown... |

My heart goes out to you, and your family. What a tragic loss, and I appreciate your advise to us, about the gates, another thing we dont think about. thank you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. |
That is heartbreaking. I am so sorry. I hope your daughter understands it was just an accident that could have happened to anyone. Thank you for telling us about the baby gate, it might spare someone from the same tragedy. |

Im very sorry to hear of your loss, Pixie will live and love you forever, believe me, i know what you are going through and i want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you, time is a healer - thank you for coming here and warning people about the possible danger of a baby gate! |

I am so sorry about your loss... Hannah |
Oh my gracious, that is horrible news!!! I can't even imagine your sorrow but take comfort in knowing that we are all mourning with you. I hope your heart will mend soon! |
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for posting, I never would have thought that a baby gate could do so much damage. |
My Heart Goes Out To You I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss of your precious little Pixie. I know what it is like to cry yourself to sleep and wonder how long it will take until your heart stops aching. Having my last dog for 15 years I thought I was never going to get over it. It doesn't matter how long or how short of time you have your fury little friend.....the grief is enormous! I hope your heart comes to a place soon where you can look to the further and know you will have your baby once again and then it will be forever. My sincere condolences to you and yours.....(Give that little daughter all the love you can.......she must feel terrible....)Guilt for a child, especially in this case must be handled very, very carefully. |
I am so sorry to hear about your beloved Pixie. I really had no idea that could happen with those type of baby gates. |
So sorry to hear of your loss! How sad! You and your family are in my prayers! No one will be able to replace that spot in your heart that you had for him, but I would get another Yorkie right away. JMO Another yorkie will make you forget your sadness, and make you smile again. They have a way of doing that,as you already know! Good luck and God bless you! :thumbup: |
oh i am so sorry for your great loss. How is your lil girl? I will diffentley keep all of you in my prayers. Thanks for warning us of the hidden danger of the baby gates |
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. |
Thank you all for your understanding! I am amazed how many wonderful YT'er's there are! Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers. I put that post up before leaving to drive across the state to get another puppy that my friend saw advertised on Petfinder. I had tried everything else, so I figured a new yorkie would force me out of my funk. Just brought her home, so I'll let you know how we are doing. My daughter is very excited, and took the puppy to Pixie's grave out back to introduce her to her sister. How sweet is that? She also asked me if the puppy would make me happy again. That was a real eye opener-I have to start feeling better or my daughter will continue to think this is her fault, no matter how many times I tell her otherwise. |
Wonderful News I am so happy for your family ............... Please share pic's of your new baby with us as soon as possible. Oh, what wonderful news....you are now going to have another wonderful baby to love. It's so sad to lose a baby but we must go on until we meet again....You have done the right thing and have learned as we all have.......Enjoy you new family member...Best of Luck to you all. |

I'm very sorry you lost Pixie like that, I hope you enjoy your new lil Yorkie though ;) |
The new puppy Well guys, here's the thing, the lady who sold her was calling her "Dixie" which I fell pretty weird about since it is so close to Pixie. So we are trying to decide a name. I hope I've done the right thing bringing her into the home. She is only 6 weeks old and the last of her litter to leave. I tried to get the breeder to keep her for a few more weeks, but she basically said now or never. She is not eating as well as the lady said, but we stopped and got some puppy formula & soft food & I ALWAYS have a tube or two of Nutrical around, so I am sure we'll manage. We are leaning toward the name Gidget, what do you guys think? I don't know how to add a picture in here!?! |
Oh My... That is terrible. I am so sorry for your lose. |
i know this tragic accident must have left you deeply hurting and please know there are many people here that have you and your puppy in their prayers. cathy and yoshi |
