| Max felt your love every time you pet him, touched him, every time you threw his ball or played tug of war with him. My girl just went off to a quiet spot in another room and left this world. Seeing your baby die before your eyes is a memory not soon forgotten, but a time will come when you will remember the happy playful days you had with Max, it just takes time. I share your pain. My last girl is gone 4 years now and everyday I think of the good times we had, and yes remember the day when I had to let her go, she will be in my heart forever as Max will be in yours. You did nothing wrong, it was his time to go. Holding you and your family in my thoughts to give you strength to get through this painful time (((hugs))).

| So sorry for your loss. It is so heartbreaking when we lose our furry companions. I too was overwhelmed with the grief. And so much harder when unexpected, and throw in the holidays just compounds the pain. My heart goes out to you.

| My heart also goes out to you. Max knew he was loved and had a very warm loving home. I think Max knew it was his time to leave but he did not want you to know. He was fortunate to have great pet parents and he could pass away at home. I have gone through death with my little ones but it was always bringing them in to be euthanized. Either way it is tough to go through. Think of all the wonderful memories you had and all the fun times. I know what you mean about Christmas because that was my little Keally’s holiday. She loved the Department 56 houses and every Christmas I would put them out for her. She would look at them and touch them gently. When she passed I never put them out again. Do not do what I did ; celebrate Max on Christmas with his memory. He is looking down and he wants you and your wife to go on . I decided I am going to put Keally’s things back out again for Christmas and we will always treasure the wonderful memories. Remember he knew the love he got from you and you will see him again. I hope Max meets my little Keally over the Rainbow Bridge. Take a day at a time and my little Kinder and I send a hug for comfort. Susan |

| I am so, so sorry. Max was clearly a very well loved member of the family. I wish there was something we could do to ease your pain. <3 Run free, Max, you were a good boy. I'm glad you found YorkieTalk in your sense of grief. We can all relate and understand. We'd love to see more photos of him when you are ready too. Max will never be forgotten.

| I have tons of pictures of max but when I try to post a pic from my phone it says file too large. I haven't tried from the computer. maybe it wil let me from there. Thanks to everyone for the condolences. It's been two weeks and 4 days now and it still seems unreal. The house is lonely without him. He was a huge part of our family. |

| Picture of max in his bed. This was his day bed in the living room. He slept above our head on a human pillow alone the headbord at night. You know what they say. If you ever let your child in bed with you, you can't get rid of them. Max slept in the bed for several years. Every night around 9 he'd start his routine wanting a snack then he'd start walking toward the bedroom wanting to go to bed. If we were on the couch he'd paw at the couch letting us know it was time for bed. He was like a little child not a dog. |

| A couple of more pics. He was hiding his bone under the tree in the one picture. In the other picture he was looking out the door. He loved looking out the door with the shade pulled up.. |

| Thank you for the photos, they are just precious. Max was a beautiful boy, beautiful memories. Yes, yorkies are very child like. Having a yorkie is like having a toddler for life (((hugs))) to you and your family.

| I think the only way to heel from our lose is to get another puppy. The void in the house is unbearable. My wife says no more pets because she's not going through this kind of hurt again and she's right in a way. I mean, 10 years is a short period of time. 10-13 years from now we'd be facing yet another death. It's a lot to think about. The big thing right now is She's still heavily grieving and She feels like she'd be betraying her boy. Max was her shadow 24/7. He loved us all but he was extra close to her. When she lost her mother in 2014 max never left her side. He cuddled up next to her the entire time she mourned her mom. like he felt her pain. Now he's gone too. I had an idea that I believe would help us get through the loneliness. My daughter and I were talking and we both agree that maybe in a few months after the grieving becomes a little more tolerant we could surprise her with a Yorki puppy for her birthday. She'd never turn away a puppy. We can't bring back our lil boy but we could provide a loving home for another lil guy. It's our first loss so I don't really know what the right thing to do is but I know our house is extremely lonely now. Any thoughts? |

YT 2000 Club Member | Max I sitting here crying looking at beautiful Max. He was a great friend and companion. His creator called him home and now he waits for you. The Lord knows we need our little dogs with us but they all go home . We will too when He calls our name. I will pray for comfort for you. It is heartbreaking losing our doggies. They are family. When my Spud left me, I adopted Daisy. A very sweet yorkie. Spuds picture is on my tree and I carry his collar and other collars of, dog's I've had on my purse. They are still very near to me. Hard to let them go but I know they run in heaven. That comforts me. |

| It's been 3 weeks today that we lost our lil buddy. I don't know if life could ever be the same again. Our daughter grew up with max. Side by side they grew together. Our family of four is now our family of three. I thought the pain would subside after three weeks but it hasn't. There has been good days but right when you think you've gotten it off your mind you have a flashback of something he would be doing if he were here. I know this is selfish to say but I wonder why a turtle can live 125 years and a dog or cat only lives 10-15 years. We raise them from pups and watch them grow and then we have to watch them die. :'( I'll never in my life get the image of max collapsing on the floor. His big ole eyes looking at me. They never shut again. It hurts tremendously. I wish he were still here where he belongs. Christmas will never be the same again. He loved Christmas. He had as many gifts as we would have. Don't mean to keep dwelling on his death but it's still just so unreal. I can't remember a time of not having him around. |

| I think getting a puppy is a fantastic idea, for sure you will be focused on a new baby making the loss of Max less painful (but never forgotten). Just remember, there will never be another Max, every yorkie has it's own unique personality, never compare the two.

| You're right in so many ways. I'd never dream of replacing him or expecting a new puppy to do the same things as max. It wouldn't be fair to the new puppy to expect him to be somebody he's not. We'll never get max back or his personality but both will live in our hearts forever. We've had a dog for so long it's just hard not having one around. I think a new puppy would occupy our minds and keep us from mourning ourselves into deep depression. Almost there now I loved him so. I want to get through the rest of the year and somewhat start a new beginning. There's a puppy out there that desperately needs our love. My daughter and I are going to surprise my wife in early march with a yorki puppy. This will allow us all time to grieve. I've always read a house without a dog is not a home. I now know this is true. |
