| You are among friends here who share in your sadness and understand how important your little Yorkie was to you. It is good that you can write about her and talk about the good memories, and even get out some of the pain you are feeling. We are all here for you, and send you deep sympathy and comforting thoughts and prayers. I hope the German Shepard has been removed from your neighborhood for good, for everyone's safety, and so you will not have to relive your nightmare every time you see it. It's too bad the owners aren't more apologetic and sympathetic; that will also make it uncomfortable.

| netters, I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. Losing one's yorkie is a personal hell that is so unbearable at times. I know it took a while before I could get the image of Minnie in her final seizure out of my head, her last gasp for breath, how she fell on the table and chipped her front teeth off in death, kissing her lifeless body as I got home from the ER, and all other kind of horrible images in my head. Four months later they're still so haunting to type. Please don't rush into getting another yorkie despite others' wishes. They mean well in suggesting you get another dog, as having a dog decreases one's stress levels enormously. But there is just no way to rush into getting another when all you want is Ana. I know I had nightmares that I got a new cute yorkie and just wanted nothing to do with him because it wasn't my Minnie Bear, and we therefore held off in getting another yorkie. We waited until the time it was 100% obvious to all of us that we were ready, and only then started making moves to bring home a new baby. I just wanted to say please don't get talked into something you're not ready for. Hugs in this time of incredible sadness; I know my joy was gone for so long after losing Minnie, and never returned until I got Cookie after I was 100% ready.

| I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I really hope that Animal Control is able to do something. I know it's not going to bring your baby back...but it may save someone else's dog from going through the same thing. |

| The dog warden came He reminded me that ana wasnt on a leash and that he wouldnt give me a ticket.. Ummm thank you? Nothing will be happening to the dog because dogs are dogs is kinda what i got.. He said it would have been different if i picked up ana and he went for me He asked if the people across the street offered some restitution.. I told him they didnt even give their sympathies... My sadness is anger.. J |

| When Jilly was attacked, I called 911 and Animal Control to report a dangerous dog attack and AC visited the people and gave them a ticket for an off-leash animal plus served them with a warrant to take the dog for voluntary confinement at the vet in our city for 10 days to be observed for possible rabies, or allow them to euthanize/send the head for brain testing or surrender the dog for city testing and a fine. They complied and took the dog for 10 days confinement at the vet and then AC "educated" them on what would happen should the dog ever attack a dog or person again. They had the dog at the same clinic where Jilly's surgery was done to repair her wounds from the attack so the staff kept me informed that the dog was showing no signs of rabies, thank goodness. On the 11th day when they picked it up, Jilly had a post-op appointment and we saw them as they were leaving with the dog, which was given a clean bill of health. Aren't your AC required to do something to find out for sure if this dog had rabies or anything? I would think public health regulations require reporting and observing the dog to be sure. After all, rabies vax aren't 100%. Again, I'm so sorry for what happened to your little baby Ana and know some of what you must be suffering. Thinking and praying for you. God bless you.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I am so very, very sorry for this tragic loss. Poor Ana was so young and just beginning to live. Jasper is 8-1/2 months and I just can't imagine if that were to happen to him. And they did not even offer their condolences??? How horrible. That's just adding insult to injury!!! You are in my thought and prayers. I know that sweet baby Ana waits for you across the Rainbow Bridge. Rest In Peace, sweet Ana.

| My heart is breaking for you. What a tragedy! I hope in time your grief will ease and you will be able to remember the happy times instead of just the tragic way you lost your little girl.

| I am so very sorry for your loss... This sounds almost identical to a situation I went through a couple months ago, but my dog was lucky enough to escape. I am so sorry... I cannot believe that the owners did not even apologize. This is unacceptable. RIP Ana

| I am so sorry for your loss. Lets hope that the reason they haven't come to you is because they just don't know what to say and they don't want to intrude on your time of grief. Lets think its that and not that they are ignorant and selfish. Sometimes writing helps. Maybe you can do a little scrapbook of Ana with pics you have and things you remember about things you did together and any little funny quirks she had. Its something you can have and look back on someday with smiles when the pain lessens a bit. I give them to people who have lost a close loved one. Its called a legacy journal. That way little Ana lives on with her stories... I wish you all the best. |

| I am so very sorry that your baby was taken from you in such a horrible way. I've been working on this post for almost an hour but all of the words I come up with are so empty sounding. This thread has made me feel physically sick-i so wish that one of us could find words to help comfort you-nobody deserves such pain. I would really hold off on getting another pup for now. Several years ago my beloved Sheltie died at the age of 6. She left such a hole in our family. We waited a couple months then got another puppy. After a month or two with the new puppy I realized that not only did I want her to fill the hole in our family, I wanted her to BE the pup we lost. Eventually I was able to love the puppy and not constantly compare her to Crystal. It was unrealistic to expect the new pup to literally take Crystal's place. It was so unfair to the puppy. When you do decide that it's time for another, you should be able to open your heart fully and love her completely. Please know that there are lots of people here who can understand what you are going through. Please let us help you through this heartbreaking time. You are in my prayers. -Shannon

| To my new friends and supporters Meet the newest addition to the family... I have read all the pros and cons of getting a new little one so soon...and believe we made the right choice.. There was a boy and girl available and off we went to the breeder - sure we would take the girl... She was just like Ana.. in looks, in attitude... AND I thought, this is the one... Until the little boy, crawled up my daughters leg.. laid himself over her chest and went to sleep... JUST LIKE OUR Ana did when we chose her (she crawled into her sweatshirt and went to sleep) So Cooper will be joining us in a week or two... I am so excited!! Nervous... Hoping we made the right decision.. but the whole family has a small smile on their faces now ANA was and will always be GODS PERFECT CREATION... as I believe her brother is.. WE are blessed! jnet |
