My Baby Nalah 12/21/06-8/14/14
 

Hello fellow Yorkie lovers,

I lost my sweet baby, Nalah, on August the 14th at 11:45am. She was 7 1/2 years young. She had a liver shunt that was diagnosed in April 2011. Her health declined so suddenly after a horrible trip to the vet. :(

The first night without her was the HARDEST I had to endure. It's still hard as each day passes. I miss her so much. I've never grieved like this before. I can't even explain into words how much she means to me. I have this constant emptiness inside. She was the greatest, sweetest, awesomest, and cutest dog ever. She was fiesty, sneaky, yet all so loving. She was my best friend, companion, supporter, and partner in crime.

I love you, Nalah! Rest in peace. Mommy will be with you again someday--and if you are here next to me; know that I wish I could cuddle with you, kiss you, pet you. <3 You're always in my heart.

Please cherish your beloved babies each day. Show your love always. <3

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet little Nalah, may she rest in peace. I'm praying that you find comfort & strength in the days ahead.

I am so sorry for you loss. rest in Peace Nalah

Hoping you find peace in the love you have for Nalah....it is so very hard to recover from the loss of these precious little ones we fall so deeply in love with! There are so many of us here who understand the loss you are feeling and are here to try to help comfort you. We are so fortunate to have had them while we did...rest in peace sweet girl!

I am so sorry to be reading about your loss. It's one of the hardest things to go through because you love them so much and they are your family too. May Nalah RIP and you will see her again! Wishing you and your family the best during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP sweet Nalah!

Bless you. I am so sorry about Nalah. I certainly feel your pain as we lost our JoJo on August 4th. We have an empty hole in our hearts. Even though we have been trying to get through this for ten more days than you, it is still very hard. I visited his groomers today. We cried a lot. Our JoJo was just six years old and he had collapsed trachea. I hope you can find comfort in knowing Nalah had a wonderful life and had more love than many little children have. May sweet Nalah rest in peace and she will be waiting for you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. I will be praying for you.

What a little beauty. I am so sorry for your loss. R.I.P. sweet Nalah.

I am just SOOO so deeply sorry. I honestly don't even want to fathom the day. RIP sweet Nalah.

I am so sorry that you have lost your lovely girl Nalah. It is so hard to accept they are gone and we feel so devastated. You are feeling what most of us have felt when our lovely sweet babies leave us, the hole they leave in our hearts may get smaller but not ever filled. One day you will accept the loss and think more of the sweet memories than the sadness. Praying for you and hoping peace comes to you before too long. Your baby is happy now and playing free of pain. Your love for her will never die and one day you will be reunited. Rest in peace little baby, you were loved and you are so missed.

So very sorry

I know that words cannot heal your broken heart but I am so so sorry.

I'm so truly sorry for your loss. R.I.P, baby Nalah.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind thoughts and words. It means so much to me. Each day continues to be a struggle without Nalah, my husband and I are trying to stay strong.

We finally received her ashes and claw pay with a vile of her beautiful fur. It was gray and golden. I'm trying to remember all the happier, special moments we spent together instead of dwell on the last couple days of her life.

Again, thank you for your love and support.

Maybe you can put her to rest now. We got JoJo's ashes on Tuesday of this week. I so wish I had asked them to save a little of his hair. I would tell him all the time that women would pay a fortune to have beautiful hair like him. The idea of a paw print is sweet too but we were not offered that. We made our decision at 5:45 am after having maybe a little more than an hour's sleep. Since we were not expecting to lose him, we had not made plans. Hope the healing process will get easier soon for both of us I will be thinking about you.

Nalah is so cute and so fortunate to have a mom like you. R.I.P. Nalah

Thank you. Miss her so much everyday!

This is something I wrote the night after she had passed. It was the hardest I ever had to endure:

My heart is bleeding. I’m feeling so empty. I’m longing for you, Nalah. You were my baby, my baba, my bazzi booboo. My teddy bear. A loyal friend and companion… Nighttime is the hardest because this was our special time together… After waiting for us all day, this is usually the time we make up for lost time. I just miss you so much. It’s crazy how much I’m longing for your presence… I miss cuddling before we doze off, feeling your fur beside me in the middle of the night whether it was at my feet or my back or my side, you waking up and barking at me or Tyler to potty, waking up to your booty on my face and your body all over my pillow. I miss our kiss-kisses and our cuddle sessions and how me and Tyler joked about always wanting to eat you because you were the cutest. Or I’d have your upper half and Daddy would have your bottom half. Lol. Your ever changing hair allowed us to call you different names—one was farm animal (Kris called you this), pig-pig, fox, horsey (buzzcut with your long neck!), or sheep dog (when your body was inches of fur). I miss your incredible energy in the mornings… You were always ready to play and start the day. I always hated leaving you at home, but you never complained. You just waited until we were together again. I miss you greeting me with so much joy and enthusiasm first thing I get in the door. After a long, hard day at work, you were able to turn it around… Just by all your love. I would spoil you with love and attention… Sure you were a butt-butt sometimes, but you were quick to forgive and so was I—and we always made it right. I just want to pet you, graze my hands throughout your hair, hold you in my arms, or get you on your back and kiss you all over your belly… Kiss your face like crazy. I wanna squeeze you tight… I wanna play fetch with you, I wanna make you work for treats (hehe, even though you memorized the routine)… I just want to go back. I admire your strength throughout all the hard times; you were such a trooper and so much braver than me and Tyler put together. This is so hard. I never knew that this could be so difficult. I’ve never lost someone so CLOSE to me before. I really feel like a rug was swept under me by losing you… As much as we miss you, Nalee, I know God is taking good care of you. I know and feel you missing us too because we were never apart. We’ve been together for seven years. It would be stupid to think that you didn’t long for us too. I pray that in heaven, you are happy, healthy, eating the best food ever, and running freely… I also hope you like the other dogs you meet up there (lol). I know you’ll be waiting for us like you always have with your endless loyalty and heart of gold. I THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US. I love you and one day, we’ll be together again. I love you so much, Ba… You were the best dog, we loved you and cherished you. I hope you know we love you so much. Goodbye for now, see you later…

God give us the strength to get through this difficult time. I am so thankful that you blessed us with Nalah. To have a dog and share such a special bond is an incredible gift. I never knew I could love so deeply… And care for someone so much. Nalah made me so happy and fulfilled. I’m grateful to you, God, for everything. Please take care of her for now.

Sorry for your loss.........

So very, very sorry for the loss of your beautiful lil Nalah. These little babies touch us in a way that only one that has loved and lost can understand the pain we feel, the empty spot in our hearts. Nalah will live forever in your heart and thoughts. Keeping you in my prayers to help keep you strong through this painful time. (((hugs)))

Thank you everyone. I appreciate it. I look forward to the day we'll be together someday.

My healing continues and I still miss Nalah dearly. It has been two months since she passed. I can say that I am now at a better place than I was when I first wrote this post.

I just wanted to say my husband and I added a new family member. We were so close to getting a rescue Yorkie/Silky mix, but she looked so much like Nalah that it was difficult for me emotionally. Instead, I sponsored the rescue's adoption to a good family. :)

We decided to welcome a new puppy and breed into our family. We brought a baby Boston Terrier in our lives... He's been such a great companion full of LOVE and he's been helping my husband and I to heal. I do want to get him a yorkie brother/sister in the future. :)

Here he is, his name is Miko.
