I'm sooo sorry for your loss of Spike..... that is a long time to have a special friend by your side. It will take a very long time to get over if ever but the pain eases a wee bit with time. Treasure those memories and hopefully you will love another Yorkie baby again, when the time is right. Hugs!

I am very sorry for the loss of your little boy. I understand how painful it is for you without Spike. Last June we lost our little girl, Ashley, who shared our lives and hearts for almost seventeen years. In time the beautiful memories will overpower the sad ones,and they will give you many reasons to smile. Spike will forever remain in your heart and, although you will always miss Spike, the passage of time dulls some of the pain. I hope you stay on YT and that you are able to share your love with another baby once again.

Sue,

I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss of Spike. I empathize with you. I lost my darling Sydney, 14 weeks ago tomorrow.

It takes time. Allow yourself to grieve.

I still find myself in tears, some days, remembering how Sydney comforted me, when I was in pain.

In time, I hope your tears of sadness, will turn to tears of joy, for all of the wonderful memories Spike left you.

(((HUGS)))

I cryed reading your post, I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost a sweet baby at the beginning of March,he was me very best friend. His loss effected me so deeply that my husband told me that I needed another baby. She is a very sweet yorkie puppy and we are building a nice friendship together,but she is not Bunkey. Noone will ever replace him.
I do hope that your pain will ease as time goes on and that at some point you will feel ready for a new baby and a new friendship.
Blessings to you as you go through this season in your life.

Sorry to hear of your loss of little Spike. We at YT know the pain you are going thru. Hugs to you and your daughter.

Hello all,

First an apology for not being back sooner, the last few weeks have been so hard, but I must thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and thoughts, and also for those who have requested me as a friend, and to Susan who put the most touching poem on my profile page, Im truly truly touched, thank you so much.:love-hug1

What a wonderful forum you have here, as I said in an earlier post, I only wish I had known about it when my darling Spike was alive.

We picked up Spikes ashes last friday, which has given me enormous comfort to know that he is back home where he belongs. As the days go by the tears are becoming less frequent as I go on with life as we have to, but the pain inside is heartbreaking, my arms actually ache for him, and I still find myself looking around for him when I walk to the kitchen or wake up in the morning and he is not on the pillow next to me as he had been for so many years.

My daughter and I were talking about a new fur baby the other night, as she says she hates the thought of leaving University, (we are from the UK and she is hoping to move to the States to work) and leaving me on my own. I think like me she thought Spike would live forever and would always be my companion, but as she has another term to go, for now, for me, its just not the right time.

One thing for sure that I do know is that regardless of its a new puppy, an older dog, or a rescue dog, that it will be a Yorkie, of that there is no doubt.

Nothing can replace Spike, but I know that never having another Yorkie again is not an option, I just need to feel a litttle stronger than I do now, and then hopefully I can come back on here and join in with your community on a daily basis.

Im still finding my way around right now, so forgive me any mistakes or posts I may miss, but Im sure I will soon get the hang of it.

Thank you, thank you all, for taking the time to read my thread and all the lovely replys, it has really helped and means such a lot to me.

so sorry for your loss of your best friend spike........:( Hugs and prayers coming your way let the joy he gave you bring you through this bad time of loss.

I am so sorry about you loosing your darling boy. May the memories you shared with him comfort you during this time. So very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss of Spike....I hope one day you will be able to open your heart and love another yorkie..

When we lost our first one of almost 15 yr, we got another one 3 weeks later. Dudley made our house a home again and filled our heart with love. He was the the best thing that happened to us to get our life back to normal again.

No dog will ever replace Spike....it will fill your heart with love.

(((HUGS))):)

God Bless You and comfort you,

So sorry
 

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too just had to let our precious little Krickett go on June 7th. So I understand about your loss... and again so very sorry. We are just fortunate to have had these little loves in our lives.

Sue I am so very sorry. I just went through the same thing last Tues. My Noah was 18 too. He was very healthy most of his life, he was bigger boy about 9 lb.s. . The thing that is helping me the most, is my other Yorkies. Few People really understand how we can love our Yorkies so much. My daughter-inlaw is not cruel but, just doesn't understand. She called yesterday and said, 'Your not still upset over that old dog are you ?" I have lost parents, a child, a husband, and beloved Yorkies, and time is the only thing that allows us to cope with our loss and get on with our life. Hugs and prayers for you and yours.

I'm sorry your daughter-in-law said that to you. There are people who just don't understand how great the loss is. Fortunately, people here do, and we are here to help you in any way that we can.

My deepest condolences to all who have lost their babies. I know the support by people here who love their babies as you do makes a big difference. It has helped me with my own loss of Ashley last June and the feelings I continue to have now. I care, and I personally can say that many other people on YorkieTalk do also.

My condolences Sue for your loss...I agree only time will help heal.

Hi Teresa, Im so sorry to hear about your Noah, as you said Im sure your daughter in law didnt mean to be creul but just doesnt understand. Im going through the same thing with my best friend, we have been close for 30 years, and although sympathetic when it happend, she just can not get her head around why Im still grieving. So much so that I have now stopped talking about him to her. Like your daughter in law, its just tha lack of understanding.

I thank god for my daughter who is always there to give me a hug when I need it and there to listen and talk about him and now we even laugh over happy memories about him and the odd adventure he managed to get himself into.

One I will share with you now, about 5 years ago, I was putting rubbish out for the bin men(Im from the UK) and it was boxing day,the day after Christmas day, some-how my little boy managed to escape through the front gate without me noticing, I secured the door, and went back inside expecting him to be in his bed or on the sofa, to my dismay he wasnt. He was chipped but didnt have his name/number collar on as I had removed it to bathe him, we were devestated and distraught, anyway to cut a very long story short, after 6 days of phoning every local vet, the police, dog pound, rescue home, putting up posters and going out every single day and night searching for him, I got a call from a lady who lived only 2 miles away from me, to say that she found him the day he went missing about 100 yards away, as it was a public holiday she had nowhere to take him and she had only stopped at the local shop on her way to London(about 160 miles from me) to visit family for the holidays, and just didnt have the heart to leave him behind. (Thank God)

So my boy spent 6 days in London, visiting such sights as Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and other London landmarks. In the meantime, she phoned her daughter before she left London to see if anybody had reported a yorkie lost. Her daughter spotted my poster in the local vets and when she got back she phoned me, I can not tell you how happy I was to see him as I thought at his age (he was 13) at the time, he had no chance as I live near very very busy roads, I have remained friends with this wonderful woman ever since and she was so upset to hear about his passing.

Im so very sorry to all of you on here that have told me about your similar circumstances with losing your beloved babys, and thank you also for sharing your storys with me and telling me what I am going through is normal. This is a wonderful forum and Im glad to have found you all.

Sue xx
