| It's awful to have to welcome you to YT under these circumstances, but you will be so glad you came. I am so sorry you and your family have had so much sorrow to deal with lately. You can't help but fall in love with a tiny puppy, but it takes pretty special people to take an older dog into their home, especially a rescue, who, more than likely never had that love, and give them the security and devotion of a family that they so deserve. You did that with Dexter, and it shows by the way he followed you around everywhere You will find so many wonderful, caring people here that you can turn to for anything. Maybe if your son read some of the threads here, especially the "R.I.P." one, it might help hime deal with his grief. He is at a tough age, and if this is the first time he is dealing with the loss of not 1, but 2 beloved pets, he may be hiding behind the "rock". Let him know it's OK to cry, (I am crying right now) that there are so many tears shed by the people here whenever another little furbaby passes, we could probably fill an ocean. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of Dexter and Honey. Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS))) |

| I am so sorry for your loss of Dexter. YT has been a wonderful place for me to work through my grief. Phoebe passed away in July and that is why I found this wonderful site. The people here are great and are so helpful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

| Angie - I can relate to your feelings of grief. I still grieve over my little girl today. I think I always will. We had a wonderful bond. I hope that you can find peace. He was a little doll and how lucky he was to have been rescued by you and know the love he so deserved.

Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | Rip Dexter And Honey,god Has You In His Keeping Dear Angie, God has your precious Dexter and your parents poodle Honey in his loving care and all is well with them now. These are of the worst time in ones life. We gave back our Cassie to the Lord for his keeping last November, she was almost eleven. I miss her so very much, the pain has not eased for me. God led us to Baby Blessing and she truely is a joy to the both of us, we are so thankful for her. We love her dearly. Like you, I came to YT after our loss, the people here are so caring. I pray that the Lord will ease the pain from you and your family and also your parents. I am so glad you have your other little yorkie, hopefully your parents will find it in their hearts to get another to love. We are all on loan to one another, our timing is God's choosing and we are his for the keeping. What a difference they have made in our lives, http://www.karaokeplayer.net/whatadiff.html Patti and Jack ~~Baby Blessing~~ RIP Dexter,Honey, with Cassie and others. |

| Your poor family has been through so much in such a short time. Your 12yr old sounds like a very mature young man. My heart goes out to all of you. Dexter was a very lucky pup to find a loving home such as yours. Dexter and Honey are together at Rainbow Bridge. Welcome to YT. People here are wonderful and supportive. You came to the right place. Time heals, hang in there. |

| My sincerest heartfelt sympathies for you. I, too, rescued a yorkie (my first) who had been neglected to the point of abuse. We had five wonderful years together but sadly, at the age of 17, I lost my Chester last October. I do have my Chloe now, with five new puppies, and I love hear dearly also, but I'm afraid no dog will ever capture my heart like Chester did. It does get easier, but even after this many months, I still cry and miss him. Maybe Dexter and Chester will meet and become fast friends, both having had moms that loved them dearly. |

| Thanks again for the wonderful replies. You all sure know how to make someone feel at home Chestersmom - I bet Dexter and Chester are running wild and having fun as I type. I know he has met many other wonderful fur babies and is working on missing us as much as we miss him. I have thought about getting another one but don't know where to start, I looked online for about an hour last night and even found one that looked like Dexter......had to wake my husband up and show him the picture. I just don't know where to begin and worry that a new one may not take to me like Dexter did. He was MY baby from the moment he rode home with us. He slept with me, followed me - I am afraid that a new one may stick to my son and sleep with him. That would probably crush me right now. Plus in some way I feel like I am "dissing" Dexter by putting someone else in my life and bed. Thanks again for all the support - you people are wonderful !!!

| I am so sorry about Dexter. Here are two prayers that I found helpful when we lost Jasmine, our Silky Terrier this year. The Euthanasia Prayer Beloved God, Help me to understand that you were with me, by my side, helping me make the humane decision to end the suffering of my beloved pet. Help me to forgive myself, as you forgive me lovingly each day for my shortcomings, knowing my heart. Help me to understand that it is good and noble to have the courage to face such difficult decisions and make them despite how much it hurts to do so. Help me to realize that, as my decision was made from love, there is no reason to hang onto the heavy burden of guilt that I feel at times. Help me to realize that, as you have sent us our beloved pets to be our guardians, we are their guardians in return and are responsible for their every need � including their need to be free of pain and suffering. Help me to realize that our life together was a blessing from you and that it was you who called them home to Heaven, and I only took them to the door, where you gratefully welcomed them in. Amen Blessings from Chaplain of the Pets ***************** Laid To Rest Prayer Beloved God, As I lay my precious pet�s body to rest, may I remember that the light and love that came to me through my pet, though expressed through that body, was of their living spirit. I lay to rest that body, but I can never lay to rest the life that was in it, for it lives within me still. I can feel their life and love in my heart whenever I think of them. That living love does not die. I have been blessed with the companionship of this dear animal, and though my heart is broken in missing their physical presence, I will rest in the truth, the wisdom and understanding that Spirit is not confined nor defined by the physical form. Because we are living spirit, I know that I will see my pet again when my time on earth is through. Help me to remember that, as I lay my pet to rest, I will rest in the peace that my pet is living, loving spirit. My pet�s soul was what came through those beautiful eyes, and shown with the light of that love. That light came from Spirit. I know that, as when I looked at my beloved pet after they passed, that Spirit was no longer in that physical form. I lay their body to rest with this peace in my soul. ********** (I found these at the time Jasmine died. We now have a little 5 1/2 month old Yorkie named Taylor. We waited but decided finally to do it again. No pet is a replacement for the one you've lost...they each are so different but we've found so much joy in Taylor.) Take care. I know what a hard time it is. |
