My Hear Is So Emptu
 

I looked on the internet and found this website. Just 24 hours ago I lost my precious Tinkerbell, a beautiful tiny tot yorkie. Tinkerbell filled our lives with so much love, even though we had only had her for 10 days. Last evening, I was in our basement working out and my 12 year old daughter ran downstairs with Tinkerbell in her arms, seizuring. I panicked and gave her nutrical as I dialed 911. I gave her sugar, mouth-to-mouth, called the breeder, but no one could help me as Tinkerbell literally died in my arms. I ran out of the house and into my car to the emergency animal hospital with hopes and thoughts that somehow my Tinkerbell would be resucitated. She was dead on arrival. My daughter fainted and then went into shock. I can't believe she is gone. She was so fiesty and precious. I feel like I didn't do enough to save her. Today I took her to the Univ of Penn for an necropsy. I can't eat or sleep. This is the first time I have had a loss in my entire life. I can't stop thinking about her. Her pink bed is still in my bedroom, her bowl, her bow....ugh, this is so hard. :unlove: :unlove:

Welcome to YT! I'm so sorry! We had something VERY similar happen back in May to our precious Bandit. We had him for a short time too. :( Where did you get Tinkerbell from? I'm SO sorry for your loss and I'll have you, your daughter, and precious Tinkerbell in my thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Tinkerbell, :littleang

Thank You
 

Hi Megan, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. We got Tinkerbell from AmazingYorkies.com - the breeder, Deb, shipped her from Missouri. I wonder if the flight to Philadelphia was too much for her. She was active and was eating and showed no signs at all of any illness. I can't stop crying. My daughter hasn't spoken since yesterday. I can't even comfort her because I'm a mess too.

Im so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies.I will have you and your daugther in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Tinkerbell.

Gosh, that's a horrible way to start off on a forum about yorkies. :sad:

Thank you so much, Marie. I appreciate your kind words. I'm trying to cope as best as I can. It's so hard to see my daughter so sad. In a strange way, this has brought us closer. My 3 year old doesn't understand. Her innocence is so genuine - she made two of the saddest, yet sweetest comments: 1) Mommy, tell Tinkerbell she can use my Elmo pajamas in heaven and 2) When can we go get Tinkerbell from God's house? UGH! Touch to bear, but it did make me smile.

Many of us here have lost little yorkies. Some have lived a lifetime and some haven't even lived long enough to taste life, but the grief still hurts just as much in either case. I'll be thinking of you tonight and I'm so sorry this happened. Tell your daughter that God needed another angel.

As I sit here and read your story it brings tears to my eye's. It was just Tuesday night that I lost my sugar. I know how it feels to fall in love with a pet, and then have them taken away, and no one can help you. And I also have children that are two little to understand what is really going on. My four year old keeps asking, mommy, when is sugar coming inside, is she still going potty?? It makes me cry everytime. She was hit by a car when I let her out to potty. Then the car just drove off and left her to die. By the time I got there and picked her up she took her last breath. I just screamed and cried, and I felt so helpless. My heart just aches. But I hope that you know that the pain will get better. And please don't give up on yorkies. I think it would do you some good to try and get another one. I don't want you to think that I am saying to replace her, but you would not believe how much a puppy can help heal your heart. If you ever need to talk please feel free to message me. I will be saying prayers for you and you family. I hope that I can be of some help. And if you ever have any questions, this is definetly the place to ask them. We are all glad that you joined this site. May you sweet baby rest in peace! :littleang

Sorry for your loss...

OH bless your heart ...I'm so so sorry to read about your little yorkie Tinkerbell....it's such a sad thing and sounds like hypoglycemia....it's such a shame you lost her....My heart goes out to you and your family and how very tragic this is for you.

You have my deepest condolences. Please give your daughter a hug too ...she sounds devestated and that's such a hard thing to go thru at 12 years old...

This might be something you can share with your daughter if you haven't already seen it. It always makes me cry to read but it's just beautiful......

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.... :love:

I am so sorry for your loss .

Big or small , old or young , they will always stay in our hearts because they are all precious to us Yorkie lovers .

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughters.
I hope in time you will heal and find another Yorkie to bring joy into your hearts again. I know that Tinkerbell was dearly loved.

I feel so sad for you and your daughter poor little tinkerbell my thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm having good and bad moments. Kinda tough right now because we hung our stockings over the chimney and I had one for Tinkerbell. I put it up anyway, but can't stop crying or thinking of her.

Thank you for the beautiful poem. My daughter and I read it together and both cried, but smiled as we imagined Tinkerbell running around our family room, playing with her new toy!

Thank you for your kind words. They truly mean so much.

Thank you for your kind words. My daughter read your post and was so touched. She managed to smile at your comment that God needed another angel. I actually let her read the entire posts and she was so surprised at the kind words and thoughts and prayers. She asked me if I knew any of these people and was shocked when I told her no.

Your posts have all been so beautiful and touching. I wanted to let you know again how sorry I am for your loss. As for not knowing us, thats true for the moment. But if you hang around here for a while, you'll be supprised how quickly you really get to know everyone. :) Happy holidays to you and yours.

Heather, what can I say? Thank you so much for your kind words and offer of support. I am sorry that you too lost your baby, and in a way far more tragic than I lost Tinkerbell. I can't believe that person just drove off and left your baby there to die in your arms. Let's just hope that the driver simply didn't realize that he or she had hit your dog. I can't imagine anyone having such an evil heart. I am glad I joined this site also, and it goes without saying, you can also correspond with me directly if you want to share your grief. As I said in my original post, I have never lost anyone in my life so close to me. I would have never imagined that the loss is so real and so painful. Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. It's going to be a tough holiday, and my family and I will try to dwell on the fun 10 days we were lucky enough to have her in our lives.

I am soo sorry about your loss. I cried just reading it. Tinkerbell is such a special angel now. When I lost my Lacey of 13 and half years, I just felt like dying. I did not even want to get out of bed anymore. And I still hurt. But, I know that Lacey loved me as much as I loved her. Just as your Tinkerbell loves you and she is your angel smiling on you from heaven. She will no longer hurt and she can play with all the other little doggies in heaven. We will all see our loved pets once again.

I too am sorry to hear about your loss. There are so many people here at YT, that you have probably already discovered that have great things to say that are uplifting and encouraging, especially in times of sadness. The tragic part is that many people know exacly how you feel...so you are not alone in this grieving process. We are all here for you, and I hope that day by day you will start to heal, and understand that she is in Heaven now, playing freely with other lost loved ones.

When we lose a family member, the first holiday is the very worst. The pain is more than you can explain or others can understand. But, slowly, our hearts heal and though there will always be a scar where that baby lived, we can find peace eventually. Sometimes, our solace is found in another puppy! Sometimes, the very thought of another little being is more than we can bear.
I pray that you and your wonderful daughter will find love and peace in the loss of that sweet puppy. You will be in our prayers and thoughts.

Bless you...sorry for your loss. :(

Oh dear...
 

Mia and Heather, I am so sorry for your losses, and Heather I am glad to see that you are now able to talk about what happened to your Sugar. You do need to get it out in order to heal.

Mia, it is obvious that you and your daughter have much love to give, and I am thinking there is another yorkie pup in your future. I wish you all the best, and please know we are all here for you. Heather, that goes for you too.

You are all in our thoughts. :(

Anytime you need to talk I am here to listen.. I hope that this christmas day was as joyful as it could be, with the situation. I myself have kept myself busy as much as possible, with my kids, and my gizmo. I know that they need me to be strong for them. I think that each day gets just a little bit easier. But no matter how much time goes by, you will never forget her. she will live on in your hearts. May god bless you and your family. And may tinkerbell rest in peace... :aimeeyork

dear jaspers mom,
Thank you so much for your support of both of us. I know that I am planning on getting a yorkie in February. I have to save up money first of course. But sugar will always be in my heart and my soul. I will love her forever. I am sure mia would say the same. I think it was important for me to respond to her thread because I had just lost my sugar a few days before, and so many of you were here for me as well. I felt that I should return the favor and let her know that she is not alone. We are all here for eachother. That is what I love about yorkie talk!!! God bless you!!!
