Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Does it get any easier?? It will be 6 months tomrrow that we had to put my Toto to sleep. The day after Thanksgiving 2004 I let my baby out to go to the bathroom and a big dog came into my yard and grab him and shook. It broke his back. I wanted to have him put to sleep when I seen the x-ray but the conveinced me to give Toto to the vet so they could fix him because the bill was going to be very high. So I did. It bothered me so bad I went a week later and paid the bill and brought Toto home. I had to diaper him. He had no control over his bowels or bladder but I was hopefull. I worked with him tired to get him to walk and have feeling. Nothing worked. Almost 6 months later on June 15 we had him put to sleep. We took him to another vet. His kidneys were shutting down. They said he should have never had the back surgery. It was cruel and the other vet was just using him for practice. I am so glad he is not in pain anymore but I miss him so much. Here is a picture of us after he got hurt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ury/metoto.jpg

| I am so sorry for your loss! I am not sure it ever gets easier. I lost my two older Yorkies within 6 weeks of each other this summer/fall, one from a big dog attack (broke her neck) and I swear her best friend Jasper died of a broken heart. They were 11 and 12, and loved each other dearly. I feel your heartache, and I can tell you the only thing that lessened the pain for me was getting my Wosie girl. She is the light of my life. But don't do it unless you really want to. Another dog won't ever replace your sweet Toto, but it may lighten your heart a bit. Good luck, and stay in touch.

| Oh how wonderful! I am so happy for you that you have another baby! Yes, you are right, your mom is awesome! Grief needs to work itself out. Try to think of all the happy times and wonderful memories of Toto, and know it takes time to grieve. You are right, you know your Toto is no longer in pain, which is so much better for him, poor thing. I wish you happiness with your new girl! Enjoy!

| I'm so sorry about Toto. I know it hurts a lot. I don't know when it gets any easier, but time will hopefully dull the pain. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I miss my Muffin just as intensely as I did on the day she went to Rainbow Bridge. It is just a heartbreak that we must learn to live with. I hope your pain from the loss of Toto lessens in time, too.

| I am so sorry! I can't imagine your pain! I almost lost my Gus after he was attacked by a German Shapherd. He was in really bad shape and the doctors said that it didn't look good at all. His lungs had colapsed, his chest cavity was full of air, he had multiple puncture wounds, and was in shock. I still get those images in my head and can hear his yelps and it makes me want to cry. I thank the heavens above that he pulled though. We were very lucky! Just know you loved him enough to try and heal him. I would more then likely do the same if I thought there was a chance he would recover after some time. I know the pain must be unbearable but in time it will get easier. You'll always have your Toto in your heart. My he play with the angels till you are reunited once again. Sending you big huggs your way!

| Toto will always have a piece of your heart, no matter how much time passes, but the pain will ease with each passing year. It is never easy when we loss a fur family member, my heart goes out to you. Your mom is a dream. Have fun with your new one as I am sure Toto would never want you to be remain greiving, and I am sure that is what he would want for you, a new baby to share your love with. Rest in Peace Toto

| I am so terribly sorry for your loss of little Toto. I know what you're feeling because today will be 1 month and 3 days since I lost my precious little Katie Lyn. My heart is broken and I don't know if it will ever be the same again. I bet our 2 babies are together right now at the Rainbow Bridge, playing, happy and safe. We'll see them again one day. Again I am SO sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

| I am sitting here thinking about the fact that we have each other to go to when we have such losses. Can you imagine how alone those who lost a beloved companion and had no one to listen to their memories, their mournful cries and heartache must be? For me, it would be too much to bear.Thank each of you who listen, cry when we cry, smile when we smile and help us move on. Our lives do not standstill or stop when our babies leave us, but it seems that way. Sometimes, we wish it would, but it doesn't. Those are the times when just the touch of a hand or a heartfelt hug are all that keeps us going. We are the world to others sometimes, and I pray we do not lose sight of that.... |

| Poor baby! I am soo sorry that happened to your precious baby! I always worried about the big dogs in my neighborhood;too, when I had my yorkie Lacey. You have my deepest sympathy. I think it may get easier with time. But, for me, so far, it hasn't. My yorkie Lacey, after having her for 13 and half years, had to be put to sleep on June 30th this year. She was in kidney failure. I am at peace knowing she will never know pain ever again. But, not having her, has left a constant hole in my heart. I think getting another yorkie may help. It will never replace the ones we lost, but my opinion is that it may heal our broken hearts. I have no other pets, Lacey was my only one. I should get another yorkie soon as soon as I find the right one. Again, I am so sorry. Your baby was so beautiful.
