Bailey passed yesterday
 

My beloved best friend Bailey passed yesterday morning, he had not been ill, not shown any signs of anything wrong, everything was normal, I was getting his breakfast ready and he was sitting by the door like he always did watching, all of a sudden a horrendous noise came out and he was convulsing, I tried to resucitate him but there was no sign of life, I took him straight to the vets, but he was gone. Bailey was only 3 years old, and I will miss him so much, although he was with me for only such a short time, he brought me so much happiness and love, I will never forget him and I am so so sad, I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life. RIP little man, you were truly loved.

So very sorry for your loss of sweet Bailey, 3 years old OMG, way to young. (((hugs)))

So so awful, what a shock for you. So sorry for the pain you are feeling, at your lose.
How are you doing? I hope you have some support, from some one who understands, just how quickly these little one, become family.

Hugs (if you want them)

I am so sorry for your loss...RIP sweet baby

So sorry for your loss. We never have them long enough it seems.

So sorry for your loss

My heart goes out to you :(

I am very sorry for your loss. The loss of a furbaby is always terrible but for it to happen so unexpectedly is absolutely heart breaking. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I am so very sorry :(:(:(:( We lost our precious Phoebe just last week at age 16 due to cancer :(

Thinking good things for you during this difficult time :(

Please know you are in my thoughts and that I care.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my 3 year old suddenly also and I feel like I wil never get over the loss. He was my soul mate and I have never felt a connection with an animal like I had with him. It does get easier as time passes but I don't think I will ever be able to replace him. I'm thinking about you at this awful time.

What an awful thing to happen! I'm so sad for your huge loss but grateful that precious baby didn't pass all alone. R.I.P., little Bailey. You'll be forever loved.

Thank you for all your kind words
 

Thank you for all your caring messages, I am in such shock, my whole world has been thrown upside down, I just keep crying, the pain is unbearable, I can't believe that my best friend has gone from my side, I don't think I will ever have the same bond with another dog as I did with Bailey, he was so special to me, and touched the lives of so many people too, he was such a friendly character and insisted when we were out walking that everyone needed to be said hello to, whether they wanted to our not. You might be gone from my life Bailey, but you will NEVER be forgotten.

Most of us have been right where you are, many more than once and it never gets easier. These little mites so easily climb right into your heart almost the moment you lay eyes on them and ever so gently and gracefully force you to totally adore them from that moment on. I've had three Yorkies in my lifetime and after the loss of each of the first two, life was unbearable for the longest time. I missed work after the death of my fist Yorkie, Scotty, and it was Christmas holidays when Jilly died so I had already taken two weeks off or I'd have missed work again. I just missed each of them so much I could barely function.

It's perfectly normal to grieve this way when a huge piece of your life has been taken from you. Grieve, cry, moan and suffer - it's how humans deal with great loss. Talk about Bailey - it helps. Talk your pain out. Share good memories, too. One day, you'll begin to notice you hurt a tiny bit less and eventually, believe it or not, you begin to slowly heal. I know little Bailey will want you to one day love again as you did with him so know that life really will one day be normal again, though you can't see it now, and hopefully you will love and home another precious Yorkie, though that may be the last thing on your mind right now. Give yourself time. Hugs to you.

I am so sad about sweet Bailey. My little Teddy passed away quickly. We didn't know anything was wrong. It breaks my heart and makes us weep but we love them so much. I believe they are in that beautiful heavenly place and we will see them again. Until then hold them close in heart and feel their love surround you.

It is understandable you feel so awful at this time. Please take care of yourself. We understand just how terrible it is to lose your little friend. They are family, especially when we bond. Bailey was lucky to have you, sounds like he had a happy life.

Thank you for writing this to me, it gave me great comfort to know that one day this awful pain will ease, I still cannot bring myself to pick up his dog bowls, or to put his toys away, they are all just where he left them, I just keep waiting for him to bound in and take up where he left off, it is such a overwhelming feeling, and I never knew that such pain could be felt after the loss of of my precious Bailey, maybe you are right and in the future I maybe lucky enough to find another Yorkie to love, but at this moment, I don't know if I could ever go through this pain ever again. I found myself talking about the adventures we had together and looked at the 100's of photographs of him I have, and for the first time in days, I actually smiled as I could see what a happy and mischevious dog he was in every photo, I hope that I gave him the best life he could have possibly ever wanted, because he gave me back so much more. RIP Bailey xx

Nobody wants to face this kind of pain again. It's some of the worst time of your life. Who'd EVER want to sign up for a repeat of this suffering and grieving and constant feeling of great loss? Somebody who knows this time is finite and will come to an end.

Somebody who begins to realize there is far more to having a Yorkie than their passing - there's their whole life with you to consider. All those hours, days and nights of love and joy, happiness and adventure. Those all matter bigtime.

Somebody who wants and badly needs a loving, loyal, funny, feisty and forever fascinating little buddy who is ALWAYS happy to see them, ALWAYS thrilled to be with them. Somebody craving for somebody to love them and lavish love upon, to fill that void missing without a best friend by your side. Somebody who needs a cuddlebunny on cold winter nights and a happy, ready companion on sunny summer days. Somebody who needs a real, true friend, a family to have and to hold again - that somebody will always reach out for that kind of love again. Those are powerful needs that a loving Yorkie readily fills and no Yorkie-lover can ever stop with just one, now knowing what they are missing. But grief does eventually naturally end and in time, when it's finally right, a Yorkie-lover will begin to reach out for that next great adventure in Yorkie love.

Yes, he was too young, I thought we had years and years of fun ahead of us, but it obviously wasn't meant to be, but we did pack a lot of fun into those few short years!

Thank you for your hugs, and kind words, I am lucky that I have a really good friend close by and she is helping me with just being there for me x

I am so sorry for such a tragic death. Sending a hug and comfort to you. R.I.P Bailey. Susan
