My heart is breaking for you and your family..RIP sweet little Charlie

Well as I sit in a parking lot crying my eyes out reading this! I'm so sorry for your lost! I would be in jail for sure! Bless his little heart! I can't imagine how you cope but you will always have him in your heart forever.

It is difficult, but I constantly have to remind myself that he is in heaven at peace. He's not scared or in any pain anymore. I have cried my heart out to God and He is helping my family and me go through this very hard time. The intense anger I've felt inside is starting to fade. I'm just really heartbroken.

I miss my buddy so much. I haven't put away any of Charlie's things. His little bed and blanket and all of his toys are still in the living room. His food and water bowls are still in the kitchen. His shampoo is still in the tub and his leash and collar in my purse. I put them in there on the way home from the hospital. I don't want to put them away. It just feels like those things belong here, if that makes any sense. Have any of you felt that way?

Words can not really express how I am feeling from reading what happened to Charlie. I am so so sorry for you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. RIP Little Charlie you were loved.

Love, Teresa and Ben :hearts-xx

I am so sorry to hear of this. I will pray for your family.

So very sorry for your loss!! Hugs to you and yours

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I would be so outraged!! That dog is not safe, if it can attack a little dog so easily and not let go imagine what else it could do, perhaps to a child?

It is completely the owners fault for being so irresponsible. A child should never walk a big dog by themselves, that's common sense. Further more that dog couldn't have been properly raised to attack on the fly like that. I've had big dogs and small dogs all my life and never would my big dogs attack if loose like that.

I would hold the owners fully responsible for the medical bills and they should reimburse you for the price you paid for Charlie as well.

I agree they should pay for everything plus..this is so sad

These neighbors moved here earlier this year. They keep the dog in a side yard thats maybe 4 to 5 feet wide and runs the length of the house. I've only seen that dog less than a handful of times. That's why I was in disbelief when my daughter came inside screaming that Charlie was getting bit by a dog. The end of the week is coming and I really hope they pay the half they said they would. I won't have any other choice but to take them to court if they don't.

I can look at charlies pictures now without completely falling apart. Just wanted to share this one I have as my phone and computer screen saver. He was taking a nap and I was trying to sneak up on him to take his picture, but he caught me. My precious baby...

Oh I am SO very sorry. My heart just grieves for your loss.

Please hold onto the thought that he is at peace, not in any pain, and he will be ready to great you at Rainbow Bridge someday with lots of love and puppy kisses.

The loss is so great right now. I just pray for your healing.

I so understand how your sweet angel Charlie opened your heart again. He truly was a gift from God and now he has returned to him. How can you not love someone so sweet who brings so much joy and love into your life. What happened to Charlie makes me sick and incredibly sad and my heart goes out to you. This poem was posted by another member and I was touched by it's sentiment. God Bless the newest Yorkie angel Charlie. Until you are together again.
I haven't left at all

I saw you gently weeping as you looked through photograph
You paused for just a moment at one that made you laugh.


But as you turned more pages the tears began to flow
You whispered that you missed me but I want you to know;

I softly licked those stinging tears that down your cheeks did fall
I want to help you understand I haven’t left at all.

On those days that you are overcome with sorrow, pain and grief
I rest my head upon your leg to offer some relief.

When you take our walking path I’ve seen you turn around
Because I know you surely heard my paws upon the ground.

At night while you are sleeping I snuggle at your side
You stroke my fur as you touch that place where I used to lie.

You said it’s just your heart playing tricks upon your mind
But rest assured I’m really there, my spirit’s left behind.

I know your heart is hurting; it’s like an open sore
You think my life has ended and you won’t see me anymore.

But for those of us bound tight by love, death is not the curtain call;
It’s really the eternal beginning that waits for us all

So as you live your life I patiently await
For us to be together when you pass through Heaven’s gate.

I completely understand how your feel. I lost my first furbaby about a month and a half ago and I still grieve and think of him everyday. My situation is a little different than yours, we had brought Lola home about a week and a half before Kiwi passed so she is still using all of his toys, bed, etc. Even so I still have his collar, harness and leash hanging up right next to Lola's and I look at them every time we go outside:(. I just can't bring myself to put them away. I have a feeling they will always be there so I can think of him and our happy times together. The only other thing of Kiwis I kept separate was his favorite ball, It is sitting on my desk and I want to keep it forever, so it is there for safekeeping.

My heart aches for you and your family because I know exactly how you are feeling. The only advice I can give is it does get better day by awefull day. Kiwi also passed so suddenly, he was hit by a car. One minute playing and happy and full of life and in the next instant he was gone. My thoughts and prayers are with your and your family and just know he is happily playing with Kiwi and all the other amazing pups on the other side waiting for us...

RIP beautiful little Charlie:rbyorkie:

RIP Charlie
 

I'm so sorry..............I am literally sitting here crying as I am writing this to you. I know your heart must be broken...........I'm just glad that the last thing your baby saw before he passed was the family that loved him so much!!!! I'm sure he will be with you always............. God Bless you and your family and God Bless little Charlie!

BusterBrown, thank you for the heartfelt poem. I really appreciate everyone's thoughtful replies and prayers. I am grateful for the opportunity to open up and share my thoughts and feelings to the people from YT. It has helped me a lot. To know you guys understand and genuinely care. Thank you.

AmyD102, I am very sorry to hear about what happened to Kiwi. I know the sudden shock and disbelief. The pain that follows is very difficult. I miss him so much and I know you understand completely by your reply. Charlie also had a favorite ball that my daughter bought him for less than a dollar at petsmart. He LOVED it, he bit a hole in it so it didn't squeak anymore but he didn't care. We had just bought him a lot of new toys for his birthday and he still preferred that old worn out ball over them. I will be keeping that one forever too.

It's been a week today, since Charlie passed away. My heart is heavy and I miss him so much. The house is so quiet without him. Its not right...

Just read this thread. And my heart breaks for you and your family. RIP little Charlie. Hugs and prayers for comfort to you and your family.

Also, please go after the owners of the dog who did this. Sadly, they'll let any idiot be a dog owner.

I am heart broken for you and your family over the tragic loss of Charlie. I can't imagine the pain you feel. You are in my prayers.

My heart is breaking from reading about your post. Payslee, my yorkie who turned 2 on June 23 has a lot of the same characteristics as Charlie had. She kisses all the time, she falls asleep kissing us numerous times a day lol. As I read your post I imagined my little girl. She got really sick back in March and I thought we were going to lose her and I know how scared and heartbroken I was. Payslee has been through so much with me and as you mentioned that Charlie was like having a reminder that God was with you I feel the same way about Pays. Someone very close to me died back in July of 2009, she was basically like another mother to me I loved her so much and was with her all of the time when my mom worked. She got cancer and ended up dying in July, about 3 weeks after her birthday, which was on June 23( her last birthday was on the day that Payslee was born.) I didn't know this until after I had put a deposit on Payslee, and when I found out I just knew that she was meant for me and my family. Yorkies are a part of our families and are so easy to get attached to. I hurt so badly for you as I can only imagine what you are going through and I will be praying for you and you and your family.
Hugs and Licks from Me and Payslee

I was looking back at what I wrote when I first shared what happened to Charlie and I feel bad for saying I didn't want that other dog to live. I was very angry, and was trying to be honest, but I regret saying that. It's the owners fault really. I have a question. How long should we wait to get another puppy? We all miss Charlie so much and know their will never be another one like him. My family and I want to get another puppy, but I don't know when we will be ready. I have read that people should wait a few months or longer before getting another pet after losing one. That waiting until you are no longer grieving is the thing to do. Then again, I've also read about people getting puppies as early as a week after, and that the new puppy helped them through the tough time. I don't see us waiting several months or even years to get another one. I also don't want to do the wrong thing in getting a pet before we are ready. How do you know when the time is right? When is the right time for that matter? I don't want to do the wrong thing.

You need to take the time that you feel necessary...When I lost my Cammie, I'll admit that I wanted another puppy asap, when I only actually just wanted Cammie back. And I knew that when I accepted that she was gone, not coming back, and that I gave her the best life that I could possibly give is when we decided to look.

There's no shame in you to start browsing, but remember a new puppy won't replace Charlie. However, when you do get a new dog, a flood of memories will start coming back and you need to mentally be prepared for that.

P.s. We lost Cammie in January 18th 2008 (a week before my birthday). We brought Maizey home in May. A new pup will heal your heart, but may break it as well with memories of Charlie, are you ready for that?

I do not think there is any wrong time frame to getting a new puppy. You would not be dishonoring Charlie if you got a new puppy but adding a new being to love and be loved by. As long a you realize they new puppy may not have the same temperament as Charlie so you will not be disappointed and perhaps feel less attached to the new puppy then I say start looking for breeder now. I truly believe God will let you know when it is the right time/right puppy. When you describe playing with Charlie he reminds me of Buster. I understand what you meant about not wanting the other dog to live. That was based on anger, sadness, and the pain over the loss of Charlie and no one could fault you for those feelings. I hope you find a wonderful puppy to fill the void left by the passing of Charlie. Charlies' love for you was unconditional and he would understand.

Your story breaks my heart :( I am very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you and your family :hearts33:

I, too, am sitting here crying for you. I cant imagine the pain you are in. I am so very sorry for you and your family. R I P little Charlie.

I am sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

Taryn0405, I am so sorry for your loss of Camie. God truly blesses us with our pets, to love and be loved. They become such a huge part of our lives. They are members of our family.

Drkprincess13, when I read your reply my heart was racing as I can\'t help but remember Charlies attack. I am very sorry for what happened to Ollie. I can\'t tell you how much I understand. Especially when you said it may not have hurt so much if he died of old age or sickness. I know I still would have been devastated to lose Charlie even if he was an old puppy or sick, but to know he died in such a violent way intensifies the pain. I have lost pets in the past but never this way. I know you loved Ollie deeply and made the best decision you could for him not to suffer anymore.

Chels, I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. Payslee truly is a precious gift from God to you. It really is amazing how our puppies are a perfect fit for us. Precious gifts from God...
