My precious PoohBear - YorkieTalk.com Forums

2yorkies · 02-09-2006, 01:44 PM

Hello Everyone,
This is my first message, so please bare with me. I just found this site today, and from what I have seen is really nice.
On December 27, 2005, I lost the most precious thing in my life. My little girl, PoohBear. I had her for 15 years, but I couldn't keep her alive any longer. She was the closest thing to a child that I will ever have (we have no children...just furbabies). I know I should be thankful that I had her for 15 years, and yes she had a wonderful, wonderful life, but that all just makes me want her back more. My heart is torn to shreds, I physically ache for her. I cry and cry and cry for her. My friends would always say that if they came back to life, they wanted to come back as PoohBear! All that I can say is she was my life, and now it's shattered. I have lost a baby before...PoohBear had a sister Molly that we had for 11 years. She unfortunately died from an enlarged heart. We bought two more Yorkies last year, hoping that might make the transition easier for me...but it hasn't. I love Zoe and Nicholas, but it doesn't make it any easier.
Maybe I just wanted to share my heartache with others that loved their Yorkie babies. Or maybe I just thought if I wrote my thoughts, that would help. If anyone can help me, please write. I am numb from the loss of my little darling.

I am sorry about your loss!! It is so hard and all I can say is it takes time and yes talking about it does help!! Welcome by the way - you will find a lot of support here!!

By the way we are neighbors - I live in Stuarts Draft!! I thought that was neat to see somewhere so close!! Nothing can take the place of your Poohbear but your other babies I am sure are doing all they can to cheer you up - sometimes it's just enough to have to take of another to get you through the day. Beleive it or not it will get easier and easier to smile when you think of her and how she warmed your heart!!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss....I can't imagine the pain you are in, the empty feeling will go away eventually but it will take time to grieve for your PoohBear!!! She sounds like she had the best life and you were an excellent mommy, I would allow yourself the time to grieve and feel the pain!!! We are here for you....I am so glad that you found this site, there will be others who have gone through this similar situation as well!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray Jesus will wrap his arms around ya and comfort you for he knows exactley how ya feel.....I will keep ya in my prayers

I just want to say I am sooo sorry for your loss...I know how hard it is to lose a furbaby, and it is one of the hardest things in the world, especially since PoohBear was with you for 15 yrs. That's a long time, and now she's in heaven...She's in a good place where she's looking down upon you. She's watching over you and waiting patiently. Nothing anyone says will take away the pain, but at least here you can come and get support and talk to others who have had to go through a loss like this. Time will help...

Hi there, I am so sorry about your loss. I lost my precious Tinkerbell on December 21, 2005, and it has been a terrible ordeal. Although you had 15 wonderful years with PoohBear, I'm sure it was extremely difficult to lose her. All I can say is that you have come across a wonderful site. The people on this forum are just great - very loving and supportive and oh so genuine. I can assure you that the people on this site are directly responsible for helping me get through the pain of losing my furbaby - they are a great bunch of human beings! I've been told it gets easier. It's still very difficult for me, but take comfort in knowing that your baby was lucky to have your love throughout her life and I'm sure she misses you just as much as you wish.

Lots of Hugs,
Mia

Initially I clicked on this thread because I call my dog Bailey poohbear all the time. I read about your Poohbear's life and it sounds like it was wonderful and full of love. It is so wonderful to have a yorkie's love for so many great years. I'm glad you found yorkietalk. This is a great place to celebrate Poohbear's life with many people who have been through and are going through the same grief you are. To us, they are not "just dogs." We understand where you're coming from because we love our dogs as much. I would love to see a picture of Poohbear and the other 2 yorkies if you can post one. Also, I always recommend people to make a scrapbook full of great memories. Welcome to yorkietalk and I am so sorry for your loss.

WOW! I can't believe the first person that emails me is in Stuarts Draft! Now that isn't coincidental! Thank you so much for your kind words and wisdom. You are right, my other babies do need me, and they do cheer me up at times. I went home last night and tried to focus on them. But I just keep listening for her to "yap" to come and pick her up, or get her something from the refrigerator. I just can't believe she is gone.
I have gotten some lovely emails from some other people too. This is the site I needed!

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Yes it certainly does help to talk about it, but nothing can ever take the place of the one you lost. Yorkies are great and they make my life full of joy, but I will never ever forget the ones that have gone on.

2yorkies · 02-10-2006, 09:56 AM

Thank you very much for your kind words and sympathy. It means so much to me to have people to talk to that know how special a Yorkie is.
