Sending heartfelt condolences on your loss. You must be devestated. How is the little one doing? Hang in there time will help heal the hurt and the little one will bring laughter back into your life.

Oh my God! I am so so sorry to hear of your heart ache. There really are no words except that I will be praying for you and your baby and her new pup! Again, I am so so sorry. God Bless You all! :cry: :tinyheart

so very sorry
 

I am haviing trouble holding the tears back, I keep thinking how terrible it would be going through a thing like that. Maddie left you a little pup to help you in this time period. Will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Take good care of that little girl!!Finding a foster mother sounds :cry8: like that might be your answer.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your beloved Maddie. Best of luck to you with the little one. Yorkies hugs to you and yours,

Heather,

How terrible this must be for you. Poor Maddie!! I will be praying for you and for baby!!! Please know you are not alone! We are all here for you in whatever way we can be!

Warning...this will be long. Last night I finally got some sleep after being up for 2 nights in a row. Of course I stayed up with the baby to watch her and feed her. She just an active little thing already! I took her to the vet yesterday (a new one) to check her out. I was told she is very strong and she seems very healthy as far as can be seen at this point. The vet gave her a bottle to see how she ate and she was a champ! Then I get a scare for the rest of the day...she refused to eat after the vet trip. She ate every other time on time, so this was very abnormal. There was absolutely nothing I could do to get her to eat. I had already been on the phone all day to several breeders about finding a foster mommy for her with no luck. I met a lady at the vet who had a beautiful little Yorkie pup with her and I asked who her breeder was. She gave me her number and of course I called. She said she didn't have a mommy for me but she did have 30 years of experience hand raising and basically was kind of in expert. She said that if it got too overwhelming (since I've never done this) she would work something out with me. Needless to say, I called her when my little girl didn't eat even at 8:00. I was so scared. The vet told me to bring her in if she didn't eat by 8:00. I had a choice, the vet or a drive for 1.5 hours to someone who I felt was an expert with my breed and dealing with these things on a regular. We drove. I'm so glad we did. She ate like a champ when we got there. She opted to use a human baby bottle and I guess that's what the little thing wanted. I was impressed with the experience and patience of this woman. I left the pup in her hands until she gets a grasp on life and my stress level goes down. I still have not stopped crying at the drop of a hat. After we got home, I was so exausted that I fell on the stairs twice walking up to my place. I hopped into bed and didn't wake up until 10:30. I can't wait to call and find out how she did last night. I keep calling her Little Maddie. I think that's what I'll be calling her for good. I feel like I have to say my little girl's name. It makes me feel good.

I am so sorry to hear about your mommy.... I really hope the baby does well and everything turns out ok. I would be devastated, and can't imagine what you are going through! If you need anything, even just to vent you can PM me and I'll get back asap!

glad it all worked out I am sure she is in very capable hands for the best chance of survival!

all the best

Here are a couple pics of Maddie and a pic of the little one she left.

Ahhhhhh! She's in good hands. I think you made the best choice, too. I'm sure you will have a little bundle of joy bouncing around there very soon called Little Maddie...I'm glad you got some sleep. It really helps a lot. You will have a little time to adjust to what has happened while your baby is with the breeder. Keep us up to date. We care. :)

This is such good news. Little Maddie is in GOOD hands! She is just as beautiful as your precious girl Maddie that you lost. :( You are still in my prayers as is your precious Little Maddie.

Beautiful pics! That little one is precious, too. :)

I am very glad you found this person to take care of your little one .

I don't know how I missed this :unlove: I am so sorry to hear what happened to Maddie. You must be totally wiped out. I think that you've got a little fighter on your hands with this little one for her to hang in there. Please know that I'll say a prayer for your Maddie and your Little Maddie...

[QUOTE=Carters Mom]I'm sure there is no better word to describe your feelings at this point besides devastated.

Oh G_D you poor poor Girl.,...I just found this posting and my heart is breaking for you...

Maddie was so beautiful....and surely her little baby will grow up to be too....
In time you will replace this horror with pleasant memories of your little Girl, sigh

Thanks for the update I hope each day gets a little easier for you...glad you have found someone to help with the lil one....

OMG

I cannot believe I just realized what has happened here. You do not have to even begin to try to explain to me how you are feeling. I am so sorry. I am crying with you because I feel your pain all over again for myself. I am praying and praying for your little girl. I sent you a pm, write me back when you feel up to it and I will call you if thats ok. It does help. I didnt want to talk at all when I went through what you are, and after I opened up to everyone, it REALLY helped me in a way I never thought possible.

I am so sorry to hear about your little girl...I can't imagine the pain you are in!! But you will be on my heart, as will your new little girl!! I hope that she continues to gain strength and will soon come back home with you...please keep us updated on her!!

Oh Heather, I've been praying for you, and I think this lady is an answer to everyone's prayers. It must help to know she is in the hands of someone with lots of experience and patience. And you need to rest and take the time to mourn Maddie. Don't let yourself get too run down, you are vulnerable to getting sick right now.I think "little Maddie" is adorable! Best of luck with her.

I almost couldn't read this thread because I had tears in my eyes the whole time. I'm so sorry for your loss. I just can't imagine what you are going through. Luckily you found someone that has done this before and was willing to help you through this. Please keep us updated.

Both of your babies are absolutely gorgeous.

Im am completely devastated for you. I dont know anything about newborn yorkies but if there is anything I can do please let me know. I will definely keep all of you in my prayers and I send you my love :love:

More good news!
 

I would never want anyone to go through what I have, but it is a little comforting to know that some of you have and you know how I am feeling. Everyone here has been one great big shoulder to cry on and it really helps me so much. Thank you for all your prayers...I think they're working!
I also have an update on little Maddie. She is now taking the nipple on her own. She's been eating right on time with no problems. I am so happy she is doing better. It sounds like she has a VERY good chance. The breeder says she is super active, very strong and she is a good sized little girl. That makes me happy. I just want to jump in the car to go see her already. I'm going back on Saturday to visit her!

Heather~~~

I am sorry that none of my referrals worked for you but soooooo glad that you found such a capable breeder so close by!! :thumbup: She must feel like an angel to you! :tinyheart Is she someone we would know? Just curious...always on the lookout for breeders with 30 years experience...they do come in handy. My Buddha would not be here today if it were not for one.

I think giving Maddie her mother's name is perfect!! :p

Great news! Little "Maddie" is number one on my prayer list!

You really helped me a lot! I was on the phone all day and although there was no luck with a foster mommy, I got tons of helpful information. Everyone I spoke to (so many I can't even remember who said what anymore) was so nice and so totally helpful in my foster mommy quest. There were phone calls being made from breeder to breeder all over the place trying to help. It's really amazing to know how many people care. In the end, I really started to second guess myself constantly and all of the information in the world could not help me with the overwhelming emotional stress of the loss of Maddie and wanting to do everything perfect to save this little part of her. I had to think fast. I think an angel was with me when I met that lady at the vet who put me in contact with the breeder I ended up taking her to. I had no appointment (at the vet), I just decided to get in the car and go out of the blue. I don't think she's anyone that you all know...well, you may, but she's not on YT. Her name is Mary Capen. She's in Phelan, CA. She and her daughter live together. She is also a Vet Tech part time. He daughter is also very experienced, so I am comforted knowing there is double care there.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.. Keep your head up!

Heather~

Yes, there was an angel on your shoulder telling you to go to the vet....I love those stories....Can't wait to hear more about sweet little Maddie.

I know I have talked to breeder in Phelan before...I will have to look up my notes and see if it her.

At least with two of them there they can switch off feedings and she can probably take her to work at the vet's office. :thumbup:

I just cant get this out of my mind and I am so sad for Maddie. But I guess I just wanted to say how wonderful it is that the little maddie survived and how much of a blessing that is. I cant imagine how hard it will be to provide her with the proper care without her mother but I am praying for you and wishing you the best. :tinyheart
