You must show us the finish product when ready, I would love to see it and know the artist.

The artist's name is Alex (I forgot her last name) and the website is www.custompeturns.com
I've spoken with her and she's really nice. She's located here in California, but she ships all over the country.

I cried when I read about your Maddie. So So sorry.
Glad you have 1 of her pups.
Agood thing to have on hand is white Karo syrup. If she looks like she might be fading, just try rubbing a little syrup on her gums.
Good luck and my thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Peace,
Jan

I'm sorry I haven't replied until now. I didn't know what to say. My heart goes out to you! I pray that your heart heals soon.
What an awesome gift from Maddie...Little Maddie and Mary! Mary sounds like a real angel! I am so glad you found her!

Take care of yourself, and give that baby extra kisses from all of us!! She is a doll!

I don't usually read these posts, I get so depressed- I can't handle it. My heart goes out to you.

Kelz · 01-10-2006, 07:17 AM

I'm sorry for your loss.

lilfoot · 01-10-2006, 06:14 PM

I just read the post tonight....I am soooo sorry....I can't imagine what you are going through. I am happy to see that you have one of the puppies....When we had to feed Lizzie because of the cleft pallatte she got alot of gas in her tummy so we did burp her and it helped with the bloating...she actually burped when we patted her back.

luvmymonkies · 01-10-2006, 10:56 PM

My God...I miss Maddie so much tonight. I think about her all day every day, but it's nights like this that tear me apart. I feel like someone has punched me in the gut and stabbed me in the heart. I'm so sad and so mad at the same time!! It's crazy that sometimes when you cry hard enough, for a split second, you feel like it's possible to turn back time or that it's just a dream. Why couldn't I have more time with her?? The days don't seem to be getting better, nomatter how cheerful I try to be. Inside I just feel sad and bitter. It's also hard because people don't really seem to understand how much it hurts, because to them, a dog isn't a big deal. I truely feel like I've lost a whole part of me. I feel like I've lost my child. You all are the only friends that seem to understand this kind of love for our little ones. I just can't seem to get it together. Everything reminds me of her. When I do the laundry, I look at where she would sit and watch me and she's not there. When I go to bed, I don't feel her little body curled up against my stomach. When I watch TV, she's not on my chest anymore. When I'm on the computer, she's not laying on my foot anymore. I can't stand it. I just miss her so much I don't know what to do with myself. I'm sorry, I just felt the need to vent and I don't have anyone else to vent to.

cheryl000 · 01-10-2006, 11:06 PM

This is just the place to do that. Vent all you need to. We'll listen to every word.
Cherish those memories and use them to honor her. Have you thought about making a scrapbook of her pictures? This is sometimes very healing to people. We can never bring her back, but we can have a place to remember her. I'm sure that her new baby is going to look alot like her. Do something that you enjoy to bring your spirits up. We all mourn and cope with it in different ways. Good luck in finding a way to get through this. YT is a great way also!

Jaspermom · 01-11-2006, 05:16 AM

My goodness, Heather, she is SOOOOO precious!!! You are so lucky to have her in your life! And the urn you are having made for her mama is really beautiful.

You are one of the sweetest yorkie mommies ever, girlfriend! Although you will miss your Maddie forever, you will eventually be able to think of her and smile, not weep.

Hugs to you, Heather!

sami · 01-11-2006, 08:28 AM

Dear Heather,

I feel your pain, but you must press on. As you know I too have lost my "child" recently. We all grieve in different ways, I try to take the pain and turn it into silver lining. It would honor Maddie if you took this experience and grew from it. If you can become a better person in any way then Maddies legacy will have had a profound and positive effect on this world.

You are in the right place to vent, cry, scream or whatever you need to do at the time. Heather, I, along with many other's have been right where you are. To lose your furry friend is painful. When I lost my little min. schnauzer, after having her for 15 years I could not function. I spoke to friends and family and no one, absolutely no one, but my mom truly understood what terrible pain I was going through. I know what they think, it's only a dog...Please...Well please my you know what. Unless you have lost a dear pet you can't and never will understand. I couldn't go to work, I couldn't sleep. I just sat and cried and cried. Your right, you do feel like you are in a dream world. I know what you mean by having her next to you at night when she slept. That is the closest you can get to your baby. I refuse to have Dollie in a doggie bed at night. But Heather, we were so lucky to have these babies for the time we did. There are people that will never share that bond. I remember saving pieces of Tuffy's hair, her toys, her blanket and sleeping with them at night because I could smell her on them. It may sound so sick, but Heather, it helped and was soothing to me. I could feel her presence with me. Still today, after 12 years, I cry for her at times, but it's different. You learn to live with it. That may seem like it will never happen but it does. I can promise you that. After all this time I now have little Dollie. I waited to have another dog because there was never, ever, going to be a dog to take Tuffy's place. Well, Dollie doesn't take her place but it wouldn't be fair not to give the love that I have to another baby. Dollie needs me now and you now have your new little baby. I can't begin to tell you how much Maddie needs you now. She is counting on you to be this baby's mother for her. Maddie is not gone from you. She is only gone in body and you know that. Her little spirit is right next to you. Stop crying. It is breaking her heart to see you so sad.
How is the little one doing today? Please let us know. And remember, everyone is here for you always. Please feel free to PM me anytime. I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY. God Bless...You are all in my prayers.

jenstals · 01-11-2006, 10:19 AM

Heather,

I dont really know you, but following this thread about Maddie and Little Maddie I feel that I have gotten to know you a little. Vent all you need to. We are here for you! I wish I had some words of wisdom or comfort! Hang in there!

deb4air · 01-11-2006, 10:45 AM

Heather /Grief is one of those things that heals in ones own time my hope for you is that your new love of maddies pup and your love and support of the Yt friends can ease your pain in a small way .My thoughts and love go to you in this sad time ..may it be shortened and eased with the goodness of love .
