I'm so sorry. I've just lost my one year old yorkie cross suddenly. It's devastating isn't it. I have no words of advice I'm afraid just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you x x

I am so sorry for your loss. No one is to blame , it was an accident.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your little angel. I know you and your husband are both devastated and heartbroken. Rest in Peace sweet Edith.

I am so sorry for your loss and feel your pain. I like to believe just as I do with humans that these little ones come into our life for a reason and the day they leave us was already in some great book somewhere.
Neither of you should feel any guilt, as it was purely an accident, but as humans these are the emotions that are completely normal and we unfortunately have to work thru.
They come into our lives in a whirlwind of love, it's so hard when it's time to give them back up to the heavens. I'm going to light a little candle for Edith and keep you and your husband in my thoughts.
(((HUGS)))

Thank you for the comforting words, my husband and I are still going thru that day over and over again. We miss her so much and her brother looks so sad. I know time starts to heal and right now the heartache is so intense it feels like it will never go away.

Yorkie Talk has been such a godsend. My husband read all the kind word and just cried, he felt some comfort in the sympathy of expressed by fellow yorkie lovers. Thanks again all u are a great group.

Very sorry for your loss.

Accidents do happen, don't let the what ifs drive you crazy. I have fears or am overly concerned of stepping on one of my little guys. They have such tiny bones and always run in front of me and stop or jump on the stair I'm about to step on. I hope it doesn't happen but it might and that's something I would have to accept, that would be difficult. I feel real bad for your husband. I suck at accepting loss, grief, and moving on so, no real advice to offer.

I so feel your pain
 

I am coming up on the 1 yr anniversary of losing my little Chanel. We "Almost" lost her 2 tmes during her life. The first one she did exactly what your little Edith did and hit the concrete head first ( I heard it) But then she stood up and shook it off. I literally thanked God everyday for the rest of her life over that. She also fell down a fight of hardwood stairs a few years later prompting us to move to a one level place( and I will NEVER have slipery hard surface stairs in my yorkie home again. There is no rhyme or reason to why God allows some to make it and other he brings home. And it is VERY hard to understand when such a young baby is taken. I certainly don't know.

But with Edith... and also Abby. My heart is breaking for you. I am grateful you still have their brother. Losing a fur baby is hard enough, but losing a baby and having an empty home is the worst. The little fella is having a tough time too so love on him every time you think about Abby and Edith. You'll console him...and he will distract you from the empty void Edith and Abby left.

I felt guilty getting another pup when Chanel passed. But I couldn't stand the empty house. Now almost a year later. I still miss Chanel, but I also love and adore Roxie, in a completely different way then I did Chanel. ANd Roxie didn't take Chanel's place in my heart ( Which is why I was feeling guilty at the thought of getting another baby), my heart got bigger to create a whole new place for Roxie.

I know you and your husband are hurting right now. Hug each other and cry for a few days ( with your remaining baby) Then think about filling your house with new babies to grow your heart even bigger...and to distract you from obsessing on the would've should've could've you are going through right now. There is nothing you could've done to protect your babies anymore than you did. And your husband certainly isn't at fault. So TELL EACH OTHER that you don't hold him responsible and use this time of mourning to draw closer to each other.

When the time is right... you'll want another furry child because they bring us so much joy. Don't feel guilty about opening your home or your heart to that love.

Prayers for you both though right now and big hugs.

I thank you so much for the beautiful comforting words. I was in tears as I read it to my husband.

It is going on three weeks since the accident and we still cry just thinking of her. Her brother is so sad we try not to leave him alone and comfort him to the point I think we are annoying him😄.
I have been doing a lot of research on yorkie first aid and have discussed with my husband the basics of dog CPR. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference but I believe she was stunned and maybe couldn't catch her breath. But it the could of would of should of that still consume us.

My condolences on your loss of Chanel. Blessing to you and Roxie.

Good idea about the doggie CPR. I don't know the specifics of it- but I know that my first dog's breeder has saved several of her dogs when various events called for it. Her description sounded very much like what we do for humans.

But again.. DON'T would've should've could've. You BOTH did the "BEST" you know how to do at the time. No one could ever ask for more. Focus on that and how much you loved Abby and Edith..they certainly knew you loved them and that is all that mattered to them. I'm sure if they could talk- they would both say you were the best yorkie Mom & Dad they could have asked for.

Hugs

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my little 2 3/4 pound yorkie, Dudley, almost 2 years ago. It was the worst day of my life except for when my late husband died. Please know that we all know your pain.

So Very Sorry.
 

I am hurting for you! I know these babies are wiggle worms too. I pray for you and your hubby, may God give you some peace in your hearts and minds. This must be the hardest thing ever!

God love and your hubby, and RIP little one
