Oh Shellie I just read what happened. You have always protected little Muffin. You must not blame yourself for this accident. You could not have done anything other than let Muffin be with him comforting him. It could happen to any one of us with Yorkies. Remember this God's ways are not our ways. We cannot understand the ways of life. I hate death and I sit with patients on Hospice who are dying but I tell you there is a Master Plan. We all deserve nothing. Dogs are given to us as a gift just like children. We have them only for a season and they return home. When God calls. Sometimes sooner than we would like. Shellie, I cry with you. I know in my heart Muffin is in a beautiful place, if only you could see. Believe me, There will come a rainbow over you . Love surrounds you as I pray for you.

Shellie, I just read what happen. I am so sorry for your loss. You can not beat up yourself about this. It was an accident. Please pick up Cassie and give her all the love and kisses you can. She is grieving also. You will help her and she will help you. Hugs and puppy kisses to you both Teri and Galen

Shellie, I'm thinking about you right now, hope you feel it...

Shellie, Please do not blame yourself. You are a wonderful Mamma and this was a terrible accident. It is not your fault. Please be with Cassie. She needs you so much and you have taken such excellent care of her. She needs you and loves you . I wish I could say something of comfort to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Valerie

Shellie. I can't quit thinking about you. We are going through the same thing. We both lost very young dogs to a horrible accident. Scarlett brought such sunshine into our home. We miss her terribly. But time will heal us with Gods help. Muffin was beautiful. She looks like a small yorkie. How big was she? You need to talk about her a lot. It will help I think. I'm s sorry for your loss. I would give anything to have Scarlett back.

Thank you for your words. I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot think what to say, as I know there is nothing to say. Only pray for peace, I guess. In my other post in the Sick and Injured thread of "I think Cassie is Dying", I posted my "If Only" list. If only this, if only that. I am at that stage I guess. I cry all the time. I sleep a lot. I look at her beautiful little face, and I cannot bear the pain. It is so intense, that I feel as if my whole body were on a rack and I am pulled apart in every direction. The pain is intense, and in every part of my body.

Muffin was a very small Yorkie, but very very sturdy and very healthy. Full of life, eager to please and experience everything the world had to offer, as long as she was with her family. She was an adventurer, an explorer, she was a lover, and loved to play catch, and have with her squeaky toys, she loved to have her belly rubbed, and to go anywhere and everywhere with her family. As long as she was with us, she was happy and content. She loved to eat, she loved treats, and hugs, she loved loved loved when I nibbled her ears and kissed kissed kissed her belly many times. She love to lick my toes and give kisses. She loved to snuggle at night in bed right up close so her little leg rested on my body. She loved to follow me everywhere. She loved people and to be told what a good girl she was. Muffin was a person. A beautiful amazing tiny person, with fierce intelligence, love and special soul.

Keep talking about her even through the pain. I lost my husband last year and 2 months later I had to put my senior rescue yorkie to sleep. With the help of a grief counselor and a support system I was able to keep going on. One thing they said to do is keep a journal and write out your feelings. When I go back and read it now it shows how time does help. Nothing will take away your pain but it does get easier to get through each day. Hugs and prayers for strength.

Beautiful description of an exceptional dog. Muffin sounds totally wonderful in every way. I'm so glad you had her and wish she were still there with you.

I cannot tell you how very sorry I am for your multiple losses. I cannot even imagine the pain you have been through. Light and love to you. I hope, like it sounds, that you have found some peace. May you be blessed with continued peace, love and light.

Love,
Shellie

Thank you for your kind words. She was a beautiful soul.

Muffin

Coal black eyes
And tiny paws
Sits and stays, to my applause
Button nose
And eager gaze
Chasing rainbows as she plays

Joyful Spirit
Shining light
You were snuffed out in a minute
And your soul took flight

Giant heart
So filled with love
Taught so many lessons
With a velvet glove

Lived for kisses, treats galore
Loved to wander and explore
Lived for hugs and filled with mirth
Loved to play and dig the earth

Velvet fur and tiny ears
Doomed to live without you
And filled with tears

Empty space within my soul
Broken heart
And gaping hole

I will miss you
For my life
Piercing my forever
Like a sharp edged knife

Aw Shellie...I am so proud of you, I really am. Your poem is so precious and you are an amazing person, remember that.

Beautiful poem.

Hugs, Shellie, hugs!!!

Wonderful poem, Shellie. Hugs to you,Sweet Lady.

Hugs to you Shellie. Your lil Muffin was an amazing little being. Thank you for sharing her with us in ways that let us know her too. You were blessed, and so was she.

I am so very sorry for your loss Shellie.
Words can not express how I am feeling.
Just know that I am thinking of you and praying for all of you.

I couldn't read the poem yesterday but finally found the courage today. Well, it says it all. Beautiful words and pours out the feelings and love and abject desolation of the loss of one so dear.

I know how you feel. It has been 3 weeks since my Tootsie left this world. She was 11 and very healthy, she could have lived to be 19 or 20. I am still crying and the void is still there. I felt like I will never be normal again, the devastation then the blame and anger and the guilt of not doing the right thing at the right time. But every day it gets a bit better, the memories of the last few hours are replaced by our life and fun together. I talk to her and feel she is around. It will get better i promise, slowly but it will. Do not deny yourself the grief, this is natural. Hope those hard times pass and the memory of having her will always remain and put a smile on your face replacing the tears.

I can feel the pain with your words, what a terrible loss. Crystal's was a freak accident as well and the wonderful care I gave her for so many years could not save her.

It is going to take some time and when you explained how you felt physically, I could relate as I felt like a truck landed on me and I couldn't get it off.

As time went on, I knew she wouldn't want me to go on grieving since she so loved to make me happy. I hope that you can see that in time because I know your sweet little muffin would want that for you.:animal-pa

In the meantime ((((hugs)))), hon.

I am so sorry for you. :unlove: RIP sweet Tootsie.

I asked God last night..
 

...to take my comfort and give it to you - im not being a martyr.. I just asked that he would hold you with all the COMFORT he could muster...

I am new to pet ownership.. new to the boards.. and now new to loss...

Shellie..I can hear your pain.. I can hear your anger.. I hear how you are trying to cope..

Finding a home for Cassie isnt what Muffin wants for you.. YOU are the best mommy for her..
YOU are the best mommy for MUFFIN...
Even if for years, hours or minutes... YOU were chosen for her..

She waits for you and Cassie - together.. it will be a speck of time when she greets you both... with kisses...

She is gone but SHE IS wonderful.. SHE is amazing.. SHE is...

My eyes cry for you.. my heart aches for you... my prayers are for you..

Shellie, Your poem is a wonderful tribute to dear Muffin. I do believe it helps to write your feelings down. Muffin was greeted by all of our beloved pets at R.B. One day we will all be reunited with them. Big hugs to you!

Your post touched my heart, dearest person. I could feel your trepidation. I could feel your quivering heart.

Much Love,
Shellie

Thank you so much for your loving heart. After such a trauma as you have suffered, to give so completely to another in pain says a lot about you and how special you are. I know you loved your baby very much.

Each and everyone of you-you are awesome-thank you for your words, your energy. I am going to post an update on Cassie on the other Injured and Sick thread. It should make you smile. In the meantime, I want you to know, that your energy, your love and light, your words of wisdom and compassion, your joining in my pain. It is working. I am starting to be able to function a little more. Each and every one of you is special, and contributes to the energy of this board, this thread. Each and every one of you amazing souls, are in my heart.

Thank you dear ones.

Shellie, your poem is so beautiful.....so very touching. You are amazing! Hugs...

That's so awesome to hear Cassie is doing well. :)

Shellie, your update truly warms my heart. May each day continue to get a little better, and happy memories replace the sad goodbye. Muffin would be smiling to see you beginning to pull yourself together and get on. She truly was a little angel, before... and now, and she is watching over you very closely.

Hugs.
