My Cassie
 

As I read through the post from all of you that have lost a precious baby, I'm crying so much I can hardly type this but hoping this will in some way help me to cope with the lose of my Cassie. Cassie was born on my birthday January 21. My husband bought her for me for our 2nd anniversay June 30, 1990. I always said she was the gift that kept on giving. For 16 1/2 yrs she was in every picture of any family event. With every grandchild, Cassie managed to get into the picture; every Christmas she was running through all the wrappings thrown on the floor and in every video. She was a wonderful traveler and went everywhere with us. She was getting old and I hoped she would go to sleep one day and I would not be forced to make that dreaded decision but that was not to be. Her kidneys and liver were shutting down and she was in such pain I couldn't let her suffer. I held her as the vet gave her the shot. I have cried every day since. I hear her footsteps through the house, I hear her running into the walls when the lights were out as her eyesight had gone. She always slept in our bedroom but the last couple of months she started sleeping in her bed in the livingroom but at night she would come into our room after we had gone to bed like she was checking on us and return to the livingroom to sleep. Sometimes I would swear I feel her standing beside me. I have a new baby but she does not have the personality that Cassie had and I miss that. Thank you for allowing me to share my pain with others that truly understand what it means to lose a precious yorkie. I can't tell everyone this because they don't understand.

I changed my picture to show you how beautiful my Cassie was.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Cassie . Last year , I lost my dear little Zsa Zsa and a few weeks ago I lost Mitsou .

You are in my thoughts and prayers .

I am so sorry for your loss of your Cassie, honey I know what you are feeling and I wish so much there was something I could say or do to help ease your pain. I can only ask the Lord to help you and each of us that have gone through this dreadful time. Please come and talk about your Cassie and share memories of your good times together. I will be sending you a pm.
(((((((((((((from Jack and Myself)))))))))))'s to you and Baby Blessing sends tons of lickies to you and your new little one. Patti

i am so sorry for your loss. my heart goes out to you... im sending you lots of hugs... i hope you heal.. god bless you sweetie

I am so sorry for your loss. Most of us have been there and it's not a good place. Trust me it does ease in time ans while right now you are comparing the new little one to your beloved Cassie, your new one will develop her own personality. It will be different but you will love her for herself.

Thank you all for your sweet comments and thoughts. I knew it was going to be hard but I had no clue just how hard. I appreciate your comments so much but I cry all over again with each one. I know it will get better some day. Yes, I was very lucky to have her that long and she was healthy for most of those years. She stayed her demanding little self up till the very last day. If we didn't give her what she wanted, when she wanted it, she would raise up on her hind legs and stomp her front feet. I guess that will always be my image of her. She was only 3 1/2 lbs so those stomps weren't very threatening but she never knew she was tiny. Yes, we spoiled her rotten and she ran the house.

I'm so sorry - she sounds like she had the best life possible with you and you did what you did out of love for her and she knows this. (I have a stomper too when she wants something - it's really something to see isn't it ?)

I truly believe when we bond with our pets like you did Cassie ...we (our souls) are always together. She knows you're hurting... and I just bet she would want you to remember her with smiles.

You have a new baby... and I know they can never take the place of our lost ones....but your new one is a tribute to how much you loved her.

Big hugs to you. I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss of Cassie, i cant imagine how awful you feel. No yorkie will ever replace Cassie, but your new one will hopefully soon be able to help you fill the whole in your heart. i will keep you in my thoughts

I am so sorry for your loss!!! I can't imagine the pain you feel!! Hopefully your new baby will be able to fill some of the void she has left!!

So sorry for your loss. We here at Yorkie Talk know just how you feel about your baby. If you're not owned by a yorkie, I don't think people can comprehend how childlike they are and how much we feel like they are our children. You will never be able to replace Cassie, but I hope your new puppy brings you new joys.

((((Meisa)))) my heart goes out to you - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know all too well what you are going through. I too held Dexter 7 weeks ago as the vet gave him the shot. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but I knew I had to do it. I loved him enough not to be selfish and keep him here because I wanted him.

It is VERY tough time but keep coming here for support - I found this place not long after Dexter became an angel and the people here are AWESOME.

((((hugs)))) your Cassie was blessed to call you mom and she knows how much you love her.

Our Cassie was only three and half pounds too, it takes time to get to know another but you will find that as time goes by she will be so much comfort to you, I have come to love our Baby Blessing more and more each day, in fact I told her today no amount of money could buy her from us. I find myself talking to ours like I did our Cassie and she is responding so much like her, we are raising her the same way with tons of love and hugs, she is bonding wonderfully to us. We have had her now since last Dec 9th. and she will be a year old the 29th of Sept. Those memories of them are to treasure forever, they will never leave us but as you hold your little one now just give her hugs and kisses and let her bond to you and your husband like your Cassie did, they are so smart and they can feel our love for them. I cry almost every day still for ours but there not of just sadness but gratefullness for the time we were blessed with her. Baby Blessing got all new toys, bed, everything, I had to do that to start anew. Please pm me if you ever want to talk. My husband and I know how difficult it is, you both did the right thing in getting your new baby. Patti and Jack
We will be keeping you and husband in our prayers.

I'm so deeply sorry about the loss of Cassie,
I know your pain all to well, in June I lost my precious Kloey and to this day it still hurts, it's a pain that I will forever carry around in me.

It does get better with time, but remember Cassie loves you and wants you to smile again, she will forever remain in a special place in your heart, keep her memories with you at all times.

This forum is a wonderful place, and you will get much needed support here, let me know if I can do anything, even if you just need someone to talk to!

Hugs

I so understand what you are going through. When I lost my Sugar to a stroke it almost killed my spirit. We had more yorkies, but they weren't her. I didn't start healing until my friend called me and told me of a puppy that was born handicapped because of too many in her litter. Her right knee cap is turned(she limps) and her right foot has one toe higher. I took her instantly sight unseen. She is now 6 and the tiniest, toughest most loving Cupie. She is a spitfire just like Sugar was. I also took an even tinier Me-Me into our home a few months ago. She has PDA and needed a heart operation to save her. Turned out that her heart murmer got better by a miracle. At hree we take her for another heart ultrasound. I give her kisses everytime I look at her because I realize how special she is. Only the good Lord knows how long I can keep her...but I'll love her until that day. They hurt so much when they go, but give so much when they are here. I pray that your heart heals.

((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))to you and your babies, Patti and Jack

Thank you. They are such a blessing. I must go hug them again now.

Your Yorkies are adorable. My Cassie was born with a heart murmur also and lived to be 16 1/2. She was my little miracle. Hug them for me and think I'll go hug mine.

It is so wonderful to hear that yours lived such a long and wonderful life. Me-Me is the one with the remote in front of her on the couch in the pictures. She is just so tiny that I have to really baby her. If you bounce the ball when you play with her, she jumps and cries when she fall. Me-Me runs the house also bossing around her sisters. If there is a toy...it's hers first and last. lol. They all must understand because they give her what ever she wants. I just hugged her too.

oops...you can't see the remote. She is in the blue background picture.

My heart goes out to you for your loss. I know it hurts unbearably.:(

RIP Cassie..............she was a true princess!

I am so sorry you lost your little Cassie. 16 1/2 years with a little ball of fur leaves a pretty large hole in your heart. I know you must hurt so much and I wish there were a way to ease your pain. I can just see her stomping her hind feet to get what she wants. Roxy does that too but she has 2 more pounds on her. She was a beautiful little girl and must have filled your home with so much laughter and love. While your new baby won't replace Cassie, she will make her own space in your heart and your home. God Bless you all.

My prayers for you and Cassie. I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose such an old, dear friend. I hope your new baby brings you joy. Cassie would want such a good friend to be happy. :) Keep your chin up.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my first Yorkie about 10 yrs. ago and was finally ready this year to get my second . I have only had her about 3 months but already love her to death. I still miss my first Yorkie and even a toy poodle that I had 30 years ago but that doesn't stop me from being ever so grateful to have Little Bit now. She is just a darling.

I hope you are able to move forward and enjoy your new baby. It won't keep you from missing your first but will make life much more fun. This new baby deserves all the love and attention that you can give.

God bless.

I'm so sorry you lost your little Cassie. My heart goes out to you and I'll remember you in my prayers. Sending hugs to you and yours! I'm glad you have a new little one to help you through your grief.

I haven't lost a yorkie, but lost a cat I had for 17 years. I know its a pain that you think will never heal.

I think dogs are kinda like people, no 2 have the same personality.

I'm sure in time, you will love this little new one more than you expect to. These little boogers sure grow on us.

I'm really sorry for you loss.
