My Cassie

[Meisa]

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 for your loss. Hang in there honey...you did what was best. You were so lucky to have her for 16 1/2 yrs, not too many of us are blessed like that. I've never been where you are at but I feel your pain. This is very touching and I am crying because I just can't imagine life without my babies. They bring so much joy and they are so different in their own ways.
We are here for you....

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.

[Meisa]

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

[baby03]

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!!

[Lacy's Mom]

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.

[Baby Blessing]

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
