RIP my Kiwi

[yougetthesmiles]

I can honestly say I know how your feeling, and it's one of the most terrible feeling to have to go through. my baby was killed the same way a little over a month ago, she was my life and that is no kidding.
it will get better in time, the 1st 2 weeks were the hardest, I did get a new baby to help heal my heart and I will tell you it sure has helped.
my heart goes out to you and your family, take your time and dont let any one rush you in your time of greiving.
hugs to you
Missy

oh gosh...i dont know what to say, i am sooo sorry !

[BubblPopElectrc]

So sorry to hear about, Kiwi. I know how hard it must be.

Hopefullly you won't be overly discouraged, and with time, you will decide to get another yorkie.

[KatWvr]

My prayers are w/ you...can't imagine the pain.

[monkeyandpenut]

I am truly sorry, i understand your pain. May God bless Kiwi and walk her through the raimbow.

Thanks again everyone. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to send your condolences, Kiwi appreciates it too. I recieved Kiwi's ashes yesterday. She was always happy so long as she was near us, so decided to keep her body physically near us and her spirit near us in our hearts as well.

My mom and aunt recommend that I get another Yorkie. At this point I feel that I am not ready to even try it...I'm still so upset about Kiwi, I feel that she was one of those "once in a lifetime dogs".

Mom mom's yorkie died at 5 years old from genetic problems. She said she wasn't able to do anything for 8 weeks, until finally my step-dad brought another little yorkie home. At first my mom was very hesitant but very soon, she said, she was able to love another little pup without replacing her first...which made her feel much better. Does anyone else have this experience? And how long did you wait? I can see myself waiting for a year or so...although there is something inside of me that wants to get another furbaby in the next few months.

I will tell you from experience it helped me so much by getting Lillie! I knew in my heart I could never replace Kloey and that was not what I was trying to do, but I was so empty inside and I just felt it was the right thing to do and I'm so HAPPY I did, Lillie is such a joy and I love her more and more everyday. I waited 2 weeks after Kloey left me to get Lillie and I dont think I would have got her if it was not for YT!
But dont push yourself, you do it when you feel the time is right. Maybe you could go and visit a litter of pups and if you feel one is meant for you then you will have your answer.
Please if there is anything I can do for you, let me know.

Dear Dean, I am so very sorry for your loss of Kiwi, we know the pain you are feeling, last November 5th. was one of the longest and worst nights of my life, it came time to give Cassie back to the Lord for his keeping. They are such a gift to us, and then we got Baby Blessing on December 9th. We also have Cassie's remains in a urn on our dresser, I still cry and miss her and for me it still really is hard, but all I can do is just thank the Lord for the time he allowed us to have her, knowing that this life is only temporay and one day we will all be together in eternity. I hope you will find it in yourself to get another, none will ever take the place of the one we loose but our love goes on to give another, Kiwi wil always be a part of you, and she would want you to continue on and give the love you have to another. I wrote a poem in memory of everyones precious pets. I had previously posted it in the forum here. Please let us know when you do get another and my prayers are with you and your family. Patti and Jack and Baby Blessing


Memorial Poem For All Our Precious Pets
Written by me Patti on May 26,2006
This is dedicated in honor and memory of all our precious pets.


Bless the house I lived in Lord, the one that I called home
the people there who really cared, they were a family all my own.

Bless the little children who snuggled me to sleep
Gently said their prayers- thanking God their soul to keep.

Bless their Mother and her many tasks undone
To take the time to hug, romp, play with me and run.

Bless their Father for all the love he shows, to his family plus me
Oh how Blessed I am, to live in a home such as you have provided it to be.

How I loved, and forever will love my family, and forever grateful I will be
They set a fine example of love for all the world to see.

I only ask one favor Lord, please guide my family on their way
Let them Remember the happy times, lest I could not stay.

Thank you Lord for preparing this beautiful heaven for eternity
One day my family and I together will abide here, forever with thee.

Ones blind implicit faith in you, is matched only by your love
The kind that all of us should have, in the spirit of above.

When our life goes on beyond to join our other loved ones there
Let us each rejoice together united in prayer.

Thank you God for all you did to set our souls free
Bringing Jesus into this world, allowing this for you, you, and me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassie would have been 11 years tomorrow this is her first
birthday in her forever eternal home. In writing this
poem I hoped it would give some comfort to those that have
had to give up a precious one. Patti

I lost my most precious Chester last October. I actually stole him from some people who had neglected him to the point of abuse. I didn't even know what kind of dog he was at the time. Two years and $2500.00 later, I had the most perfect dog that ever lived. The vet guessed him to be 10-12 when I got him and he lived for five years after that. That started my love of Yorkies. I now have a new rescue, but no dog will ever take Chester's place. He will always be the perfect pet in my heart. And though I love Chloe to pieces, a part of my heart still aches for Chester. Getting Chloe was very good for me though. A house just isn't a home without the pitter-patter of puppy feet. Go for it, find another love, and know that Kiwi will always have a piece of your heart that you'll never give away again. You will, however, find another special piece for your new family member. God bless you and know that Kiwi has many, many friends with him, including my Chester.

[ChestersMom]

Okay, so we're all expecting pictures of a new baby in your home- SOON!

[Marly Mathews]

I'm so sorry for your loss...Kiwi was an adorable baby girl.

[rosesmom]

Oh no this is so sad. Im so sorry for you all.

[dean29]

Thanks everyone, you are truly amazing! It is so nice relate with other people. Even my Dad was looking at Yorkie breeders online. I didn't want to ask him why, but he may get a Yorkie for himself -- they're so perfect...mwhaha.

I'm sure Lillie is a very spoiled little girl and I'm sorry to hear about Kloey. I think you do have the right idea though, I will try visiting a litter in the next few weeks and if it feels right it's ok...Great advice!! It's funny because alhough I had almost always done this, I look at every dog that I see walking by and I smile. Pfft I even called the shelter to ask if I could just take a dog for a walk or play with him/her...they said no (haha, you can't blame them!). So I think visiting a litter would be best

Thank you very much for the kind words. Your poem is outstanding. I'm sure Cassie is knows her mom still loves her very much!!!

[LuvMy5Yorkies]

When I lost my tiny Sugar I just couldn't bring myself for a while to get another. Not until my breeder friend called me and told me of a female puppy who was born with a turned knee cap. She didn't have enough room to grow because there were too many puppies. She didn't know what else was wrong with her and thought she would be big with course hair. I took her instantly. I named her Cupie. She is now six years old and limps when she walks slow. Her one nail on her front foot is higher up. Cupie is three pounds with silky hair. I took her unconditionally and God blessed me for it.
I love the special needs yorkies. We took home Me-Me in the spring knowing she has pda and needed heart surgery. She went to get her second heart ultrasound for the surgery and it turned out that her murmur is so much better that she doesn't need it.
Talk about God blessing this house! Don't ever give up. The pain we feel when they go is worth the love when they are here. I will love these little babies as long as they are here. You will know when it's time for a puppy. Your heart will tell you when you see him or her. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your story brought tears to my eyes.
