Jake went to Rainbow Bridge yesterday
 
Yesterday, after having the most wonderful little boy ever for 16 1/2 years, I had to let my Jake go to Rainbow Bridge. He had chronic renal failure for a year and subcutaneous fluids every other day. I did everything I could for him to be healthy and happy all his life, and I believe he was. He has been (and still is) the light and joy of my life. I don't know how I am going to go on without my "little man."
I do have a 3 1/2 year old (4 in May) girl YT named Kiri, who came to me 3 years as a rescue, so she and I are making do in this awful new situation.
He was just the best dog ever--well-behaved and loved me with all his heart. That seemed like it was his main purpose and care in life. Everyone always said how his main priority was being next to Mom. I miss him so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Run free little man!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Jake. He sure had a great loving Mom! I pray you will be comforted by all our hugs we send you and Kiri. One day we will be reunited with our beloved pets. RIP dear Jake

Thanks everybody. I am sitting here at work trying not to cry. I decided to come into work because sitting home remembering the sight of him padding around and doing things was too heartbreaking. For the last year he had dementia, and it was getting worse. So, really, I know it was time, but it still makes me feel so devastated. Have to stop writing again for now ...

So very sorry

MauiGirl 03-27-2014 10:13 AM
I am so very sorry for the deep loss you are feeling. You were truly blessed to have had your little man Jake for so long, and you will always have wonderful memories to hold on to once the tears stop flowing.

Hugs to you and little Kiri.

So sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself & sweet deserving Kiri.
R.I.P. Dear Jake.

Please don't hesitate to cry when you get home. The kind of sorrow from losing a beloved pup can't just be bottled in. It has to hurt this much when you love them so. :(

tutters 03-27-2014 12:44 PM
Thanks. I feel just like my whole world has ended. Last night I kept looking for him and listening for the sound of his toenails. I read today about the end stages of CRF and I know things would have been much worse if I'd waited any amount of time, but I still miss him so much.

It took me two weeks before I finally stopped going around the house looking for Minnie, and it was hard to adjust to not hearing her trotting around the house. The subconscious has so much more power than the conscious part of the brain, so even though the conscious knew Minnie was gone the subconscious kept telling me things like "go to Minnie's favorite nap spot to plant a raspberry on her stomach". And it made me really sad every time I did and realized she was gone. I think it's awesome you gave Jake 16 1/2 great years. Hugs in this difficult time.

So very sorry, RIP sweet jake.

So sad to read about the loss of your little man. God bless the newest Yorkie Angel Jake and comfort his grieving family.

I'm so sorry you have lost your faithful buddy, Jake and know how hard life is for you right now. You are lost in pain and hurt and don't think life will ever be happy again. Grief is something only time heals and love makes possible. Your love for Jake will see you through and his sweet memories will someday override the pain and loss you feel now. But until that time, grieving is normal and will take time so go easy on yourself and talk about Jake all you need to and read out to others when necessary - it will help. R.I.P., little Jake.

I am very sorry for your loss of your precious boy, Jake.

Run free, Jake, at the Rainbow Bridge!

No wonder. 16 1/2 years is a huge chunk of your life and now that part of it is suddenly and forever over. Even when you know it's coming, it's still such a shock. Losing a truly beloved pet is one of life's great stressors and is not to be taken lightly. It's what that pet meant to you that makes the loss so severe. The more you loved them and the bigger the part they played in your life, the harder the loss for you. Just rest in the love and support of your family and friends and those who truly understand and know that in time this awful pain will leave you and there will only be lovely memories and love left where it is now. Try to think only of Jake playing at the Rainbow Bridge with all our little angels.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my buddy this past December, It is very hard. Hang on to your memories and know he is in a better place, and that you'll see him again. RIP Little Jake.

Lou 03-28-2014 01:10 PM
We love you girlfriend! We understand your grief and your loss. You made a painful decision but it was best for Jake.

You are never far from our minds and always in our prayers.

bjh 03-28-2014 02:14 PM
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts.

orbit49 03-29-2014 09:34 AM
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost my best friend, and love of my life "Buster" on March 26th (14yrs 7 months ) Congestive heart failure. I have had friends an a parent pass away, but never have I ever felt the pain I am feeling now. At times it is unbearable. I know grieving is a process and things will begin to get a little better, but this is so hard.

coco40 03-29-2014 01:44 PM
I am so sorry….it's the hardest thing ever to go through….we lost our little yorkie in January and its heart wrenching….RIP Jake….you will meet again…

lisaly 03-29-2014 04:19 PM
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Nothing can prepare you for the loss of one loved so dearly. My little girl, Ashley, had dementia the last year of her life, and I know the love and care it takes to keep a little one feeling safe and loved. She was with us for almost seventeen years, and the loss was difficult to bear. The hurt never goes away, but it will get easier in time. The love lasts forever, and hopefully your happy and beautiful memories of moments shared with Jake will overpower the painful ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

CouversMom 03-29-2014 04:55 PM
I am so very sorry for your loss... It sounds like you did everything in your power to give your little guy the best life.

RIP Jake

marcie 03-30-2014 01:42 PM
I am so sorry about Jake. Sending hugs.

anniernc 03-30-2014 02:21 PM
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you feel like a part of your heart has been ripped out but remember Jake will always have a very special place in your heart. Rest in Peace sweet little Jake.

tutters 03-31-2014 05:55 AM
I am so grateful now for the YorkieTalk forum and for Rainbows Bridge. After a day or two, of course, family and colleagues return to normal life pretty much, and my and Kiri's lives are so empty right now. I can't believe the nice messages I've received here and at RB. They have made me feel better, reassuring me that I will see my beloved boy again (I hope soon) and that he's happy and healthy. Thank you, everyone. I realize now how important helping others is, and I'm hoping that this sad horrible event will get me doing something that is helpful for others going through the same thing.
