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.

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,

MiaW · 12-23-2005, 06:56 PM

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.

Marie · 12-23-2005, 07:24 PM

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

Gir & Bing · 12-23-2005, 09:08 PM

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

MiaW · 12-23-2005, 09:18 PM

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.

heather_lathrop · 12-23-2005, 09:41 PM

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!

Sorry for your loss...

red98vett · 12-24-2005, 07:10 AM

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...

red98vett · 12-24-2005, 07:19 AM

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....
