Rosie is resting peacefully in Heaven now.

[MarkFromSea]

And if I go while you are still here…

Know that I still live on, vibrating to a different measure

Behind a thin veil that you cannot see through.

You will not see me, so you must have faith.

I will wait there for the time that we can be together again,

Both aware of each other.

Until then, live your life to the fullest.

And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart,

…I will be there.

We put up our Christmas tree last night, 11/17. It's been hard feeling cheerful or excited like I usually am around this time of year. We pulled the decorations out and your stocking was right on top of the box. The thing is bigger than you are. And I just realized I typed are instead of were. It's so hard to believe. But the coldest hardest truth was hanging your ornament on the tree. An ornament we didn't have last Christmas. Last Christmas we had you, romping around with your sister and growling at her and begging us to pick you up. This year we don't have that...only the ceramic ornament we received from the vet. Your tiny pawprints pressed forever into the clay and painted pink. Mommy and daddy both cried last night when we hung it up. We put it near the top, right in front. So pretty and special, but not as pretty and special as you. We hurt so badly missing you. No longer am I excited for Christmas...it hurts too much to even think of taking a Xmas card photo of just Luma again, no Rosie. That's why I can't participate in the YT card exchange this year. I dread each milestone and holiday because I know I'll be missing you and it hurts.

It's almost your birthday. Luma will be three years old on Jan. 3 and you would be turning 2 on Jan 13. I'm sorry you died young. I feel like the ultimate failure. While Part of me knows you were born with illnesses I couldn't possibly prevent I still feel like I let you down by not knowing about them until it was too late. It still upsets me and I try to analyze every detail of how your bloodwork could be perfect at your one year check up and you died four months later. I still feel, some days, like I made a terrible God awful mistake putting you to sleep. You might still be here today. Everyone told me there was barely any chance of improvement, even with all the money in the world, but that's hard to believe when I was so ready to do anything possible to help you live...I was willing to surrender you to rescue because I so badly believed you could make it...but no one else did. I fight with wondering if I let the vets and others make the decision for me. I wanted to try anything. They told me very truthfully that you would suffer further, be away from your family, have many tests, all for it to not help at all. You were so far down the hill and it was terrifying to see you like that. I have nightmares about that night at the ER vet and the next day when you passed. It hurts too much to type any more for now. I do try my best not to wallow but seeing your pawprints in hardened clay is the coldest reality. It's just too much. I hate this.

Again I read your thread, and cry, remembering Oct. 1, 2013 when I held my little girl, crying and whispering in her ear, momma is here and loves you, the tech injected her, ended her pain and her life. A day I will never forget. Although I adopted a little boy soon after (an unplanned adoption) and I love him dearly, my Matese is always on my mind, not a day goes by that I will see something that reminds me of her. I pour all my love for my little girl onto my little boy. Matese will live in my heart forever, just as lil beautiful Rosie will live in yours. I was blessed to have my lil girl in my life, just as you were blessed to have sweet Rosie in yours. Holidays and special occasions are the hardest. Try to find peace knowing lil Rosie is happy, healthy, pain free and waiting for you. (((hugs))))

2-1-12 we pts our most precious Abigail. I know exactly how you both feel and cry for you both (as well as my little girl). We DO love the next one with all the love we can't show Abigail any longer, and the new love we have for our new babies little face. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be - the next ones just get loved more, and then the next more and so on . . .

Carmen, I am so sorry for the pain you still have after losing precious Rosie.

I also completely understand, as I am still struggling with the hole in my heart after losing Meika in March. I can't bear to change my avatar to a picture of my 3 remaining pups.... I still feel like I have 4, only my silly fluff Meika is not here. The sadness continually sneaks up on me and leaves me in tears.

I know time heals, somewhat, but often I just feel like we are never going to get over this. It is painful. So sorry for all the others who have experienced loss too.

I wouldn't change your avatar, Sandy. I love that shot of Meika and the crew. I still keep Minnie in my avatar instead of Cookie since it ensures I can see Minnie every day.

It's been over a year now and the memories are still fresh and sharp as ever. I miss Rosie so much that it makes my whole body ache. I think about her every single day, truly. We still cry for her. Our time together was so short, but it changed her daddy's and my lives. Rosie Wosie my little bug I love you soooooo much. I know you're gone but I somehow still feel you with me. If only you really were.

[capt_noonie]

Aww, Carmen, I know how it feels. I still cry sometimes when I think of Scrappy. It's been almost 3 years already. I don't think you can ever totally get over it. Give Luma extra kisses and hugs.

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Carmen it is so hard to lose one of our babies. I know you are still hurting so. Rosie is free of pain at Rainbow Bridge and will forever be in your hearts. I wish I could say it gets easier but I still miss the dogs I have lost in the past. Time does help a little. I agree, give Luma extra hugs. It will be good for both of you. Hugs my friend.

[CouversMom]

Carmen, your post made me tear up. It is so hard losing a pet, especially so young. It is just not fair.

[Iluvalldogs]

My heart breaks for you in the deep loss of precious and perfect Rosie. She had a wonderful loving home with you. I know that Rosie is in Heaven, once again whole and happy - free from pain and sickness, waiting to see you again. She is there with all the other YT babies who went before her, including my two babies (October and Peanut). I so look forward to the day when we see them again.

It has been two years since I lost my first Yorkie, October - I still cry in that loss. It is so difficult. Time moves forward - it doesn't necessarily get easier, it just becomes different.

Through tears, I loved reading your story of sweet Rosie. I know she was deeply and genuinely loved. I am so terribly sorry that you lost her, and I know the pain is real and difficult. We all know too well what its like to lose our darlings - no length of time is ever enough with them. But, God has a plan in our suffering. And we will see our babies again. Many thoughts and prayers to you.
