Saying goodbye to Zoey I have spent the past hour reading posts in this forum and crying my eyes out. It has been strangely cathartic to share in all of your grief. I am a private griever and tend to like to curl up alone and cry. I decided to post in an effort to hopefully release some of the pain and prepare myself for new life. My precious Zoey was six years old when she was taken from me and my husband a little over a month ago. We knew we loved her like our own child but were completely unprepared for the pain and grief. Had no idea the loss of a pet could bring that. We were on vacation and had left her with my daughter. My daughter let her out to go to the bathroom and did not watch her. She did not have a fenced yard and my dog was killed by a car. I was not there with her. I feel so bad for my daughter because she is devastated and blames herself but I feel even worse for myself because I blame her too. I also blame myself because I left her in a home that wasn't safe. I just thought of myself and my vacation and because I loved my daughter so much, I just assumed everything would be okay. I hope that time will help all of us to heal. We all learned some very painful lessons. I thought I would want to wait for some time to pass but the emptiness in the house has been unbearable. We are getting a new baby girl. Initially my search led me to a company that I almost purchased from. I had several red flags and found out they were a horrible nationally known puppy mill company. I will not slander them but most of you probably already know who they are. I am a complete novice. After that scare, I researched breeders for weeks and found the perfect breeder right here on yt. Her name is Deb Sillers. I drove 12 hours to go meet her and her babies and she helped me pick out the perfect baby for our family. Her name is Mia. Zoey will always be my first baby and the one that led me to my love for the amazing breed but I am hoping baby Mia will help my family to heal. Stories and pictures will be coming in the main forum as we begin to bond start this new journey. Who knows where it shall lead. |
I'm so sorry for your loss. That's much too young to lose a baby.:( I've never lost one to an accident so I can't imagine how you feel but please try to forgive your daughter and yourself. Accidents happen. It could happen to anyone of us at anytime. I hope your new girl brings you many years of happiness and helps you heal.:hug: |
Sorry for your loss. An accident could happen to any of us no matter how careful we are. Please do share the bad breeder's name with us. I'm in the Seattle area and not that far from ID. I'd like to avoid them when the time comes. PM if you'd prefer not to post. |
I am so sorry for the sad loss of your Zoey. Many of us have faces similar pain of losing one of our fur kids, and the grief is really much harder than many can imagine. I am also happy to hear that you are moving ahead with bringing a new little love and joy into your life. Deb is a very well respected breeder and you are very lucky to be getting one of her "Amazing Yorkies". I wish you all the best, and hope to hear more about your new little Mia. |
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your Zoey. Like you, my husband and I lost our first Yorkie girl last April to a terrible accident. We experienced grief like never before, and went through many of the same emotions - loss, sorrow, anger, fear, blame, you name it. So my heart breaks for you because I know just how you feel. But I am so very happy to know that you have opened your heart to a new girl! We have as well, and it helped us to heal so very much. I know that Mia will help you to heal, and you will love her and in your love for her you will always remember precious Zoey. Hugs to you! |
So sorry for your loss. I have been there and know the sudden emptiness one can feel after your baby girl was taken away so suddenly. I believe Mia will help you and your family to heal. Zoey is in a beautiful place now... playing in fields of grass and eating the best food ever. God bless. |
So very sorry for the loss of your precious lil baby taken away to soon. My lil girl had to leave me at the age of 17 y/o, but that still was not long enough. I know the pain and grief you are going through. I adopted a little boy soon after my girl left me, he has filled that hole in my heart, took the pain and grief away and made my empty house a home again. Little Mia will do the same for you. I am so happy you are opening your heart to love another lil fur baby. Zoey will live forever in your heart as my sweet Matese still lives in mime. (((hugs)))) |
dog So many of us have lost a precious Yorkie. It is heartbreaking and when I lost my Teddy Peanut, I cried for so long. Somehow we have to not look back. Forgive your daughter, it was an accident. Know in your heart Mia is in a beautiful place, her little job of love on earth is done. My Teddy was 10 and that is the only way I could go on was to know that his Creator called him home. So in my heart handed him over and now I have JoJo. You will have a new little blessing come into your life. May comfort and peace surround you. |
I am so sorry for your loss. . .but what a joy to bring a new pup into your lives. . . |
