In Memorial-Kassie Kisses-My Precious Yorkie

[abbeychem]

I'm so sorry for your lost...
I understand your pain, I just lost one of mine too... It's a pain that only between all of us who have met one of this beautiful creatures of God can understand.
I'm praying for you and Kassie.I'm sending you all my love, hoping somehow it will help you, at least a bit, to overcome this terrible moment.

From my family and me, all the love and support... If you need us, we are here...

Hi abbeychem,

I'm so sorry you also lost one of your babie's, had to go through this, as you said their beautiful little creatures, so fragile, and it becomes so unbearable to be a witness their passing.

I appreciate you, your familie's support, thank you for your kindness.

Thank you very much.

Hello Jennifer & Takahiro Yano,

I appreciate your thoughfulness, truer words were never spoken "Yorkies are made of love! " Oh so, so true, and when one sadly leaves us, the wonderful memorie's may remain, but one's heart, my heart became devoid of love, my heart dried up, it is empty without her, she was all I had, I didn't only lose a part of my heart, I lost my whole heart.

I'm sorry if what I say is negative, saddens you, right now, sadly it's how I feel, I know sometimes being forthright, truthful, isn't alway's benificial nor uplifting, again I'm sorry, though wish you to know your kindness is appreciated, you in fact have expressed the Love, the Heart of a Yorkie, for which I am grateful.

Pass on a Kassie Kiss to your adorable Chibimaru.

Jennifer, thank you very, very much.

A Letter from Kassie Kisses in Heaven

To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all,
to let you know,
that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."

God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.

God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."

"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."

If dog's don't go to Heaven, then I want to go where they go!
Your tribute was wonderful. She was one lucky girl to have such a great Papi!!
....Linda

Hello Linda,

What a beautiful poem, I would like to take one verse, or is it stanza to express how it affected me, well it did in many way's but you had Papi here, crying, no not ashamed to say it.

When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

The whole poem tugged at my heart but this gave me my permission.

Linda I appreciate your encourageing poem, and your kind support.

Thank you very, very much.

May It Comfort You Some When You Think Of All The Smiles She Brought To You, And I Hope Your Heart Will Lighten With Your Treasured Memories.

Hello GPONTLITZ,

How very sorry I am for you, the loss of two is more grief than I can even begin to imagine, or go through, though have to concede Jd most assuredly had to get you through your heartache, I'm happy to know after the loss of two, you had the courage to own another Yorkie, and it's a no brainer their love is special, they will keep you coming back.

May I thank you for your encouraging words, I truly appreciate your kindness.

Thank you very, very much.

Kassie was a beautiful girl and a lucky one, too, seeing how much you loved her. You said you did the worst thing you ever did. Never think that. You did the most unselfish and loving thing you could for your dear baby. To have kept her with you and prolonged her suffering would have been selfish. Instead, you found the courage to put her first. That's not easy to do.

Sometimes, it's a lot harder to give up than it is to fight. At least with fighting you feel like you are in motion, going somewhere, doing something. So I prefer to think of it not as giving up the fight, but to give up your sweet girl because it was such an incredible sacrifice on your part. But it was also the kindest thing for your little girl.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Ozzie'sperson,

I'm sorry so late replying.

You said you did the worst thing you ever did. Never think that. You did the most unselfish and loving thing you could for your dear baby. To have kept her with you and prolonged her suffering would have been selfish. Instead, you found the courage to put her first. That's not easy to do.

I do understand, believe what you say is true in every sense but it doesn't remove the guilt, I still did it, I think I'll live with it forever, yes I loved that little baby so much.

I appreciate, and thank you for your wise observations, your being kind enough to offer your support, I am grateful.

Thank you very much.

It Really Was The Kindest Thing To Do For Him - I Think I Am Still Somewhat Trying To Convince Myself Of This.......

We Decided Not To Get Another Dog And For A While We Didnt - Then We Got Harvey, He Is A Very Special Little Boy, Different To Benjie But So Special In His Own Way Too.

Your Little Kassie Was So Gorgeous And Cute - Both You And Her Were Very Lucky To Have Had Each Other......................

God Bless You

Hello DianeW,

To say I'm a little late replying would be an understatement, I see your post is from the 22nd, I am sorry believe me, I have had a difficult time trying to keep up with he overwhelming respons to Kassie's Memorial Tribute , then became confused as to whom I replied and did not, Oh my head, not complaing though, I am happy for all the love and support shown by the Yorkie family.

May I offer my condolences for your beloved Benjie, true it may have been 18 months ago but I don't believe the heart ache of that moment ever completely goes away, though I'm sure Harvey helps to ease it some.

These are so my exact sentiments, and I also Think I Am Still Somewhat Trying To Convince Myself Of This.......


May I thank you so much for your encouraging support, I do appreciate it, and am very grateful.

Thank you very, very much.

I too am in NJ and the flooding has been horrible. Seems to be subsiding now.

Hello yorkiemalt, neighbor,

I so hope you'll forgive me for this un-prcedented late reply, as see you posted on the 20th of April, I'm so embarrassed, I am very sorry, not an excuse but just couldn't keep up with the over whelming support of the Yorkie friends, couldn't figure who posted when, yes, I was in a some what state of confusion, and so humbled by so many encouraging post.

I would like to thank you for your encouragement, your thoughtfulness my freind from Norhern Jersey, I hope you made it through the floods un scathed also.

Thank you very, very much.

This site is a supportive community. We are here for you in case you need anything. Your beautiful girl cannot be brought back, but she sure will be remembered by all of us.

It should make you feel a little better, I hope. Write some more. To me, the experience was really cathartic. You can always create an online journal for her, if you want. It helps in your grieving process. What's important is to know and remember that reaching out is good. You should not be alone.

G'day ChicagoSoul,

This reply was a long time coming, and my sincere apology to you, I can assure you I meant no disrespect or of being rude, it's just been difficult for me to get back to all the friends here, and to make it worse, I can't type, and by the time I formulate the words, I get timed out, I can say finally, I do believe I have answered every post, you are the final one, now I must reply to all the PM's.

I am also sorry you lost your precious baby to pneumonia, yes sadly you do in fact know how I feel, and I you, though wish you did not have endure this heart wrenching ordeal along with me, I am very sorry.

To me, the experience was really cathartic. You can always create an online journal for her, if you want.

I have done some amount of purging, thankfully through this forum which I am grateful for, and so many wonderful, and understanding friend's here like yourself, though your suggestion of a journal is a great idea, it's something I could not keep up with, or do, again can't type, and would take me forever, for those who are more capable than I, I'm sure it would work, and do appreciate the suggestion, thank you.

ChicagoSoul, I would like to offer you a sincere thank you for your thoughful and, comforting words, your support, and suggestions, I appreciate it, and am gratefull to you, and the Yorkie family for all their kindeness.

Thank you very, very much kind lady.

Give that little baby Man'ka Obligaciya a hug from me - a kiss from Kassie Kisse's

Today is day 34

[Baby Blessing]

Dear Papi, Jack and I didn't quite know how to do this so I will just go ahead and post here. Papi in our PM we kinda got the feeling from your PM that you might like to get another little yorkie, is it possable that you are ready to get another?
Jack and I know so well what you are going through, and we are keeping you in our prayers.
Papi we know that you had incurred much in expenses those last months with helping Kassie in every way you could. If you are ready to get another yorkie, Jack and I would like to help maybe along with others here in Yorkie Talk in contributing a donation towards your getting one. We would love to get the ball rolling here in Yorkie Talk in helping to get another little yorkie in your arms. There is none that replaces the one that we must give back to the Lord for our keeping, but I can sure say that in our getting Baby Blessing she helped us tremendously, we still miss our Cassie, but know that she would be happy that we allowed our hearts to bring another into our lives to share our love with.
We didn't know how else to bring this up so decided just to go ahead in asking your feelings here on the forum. Please let us know your feelings on this.
Sincerely Patti and Jack

[Dan & Corinne]

Dearest Papi,

Your love for Kassie is so beautifully expressed in your tribute to a true friend. We too have lost a little love to an incureable illness. Reading your feelings and love for Kassie brought me to tears for you. I know what you are going through and my heart aches for you.

As Patti & Jack posted, when you are ready to open your arms to another baby, I would be honored if I can help.

The picture of you and Kassie in your profile is priceless. Thank you for sharing Kassie with us. She is so very special.

My friends, Patti, Jack,

I read your post, as I also did, Dan and Corinne, Connie's earlier today, and didn't know how to respond, my mind has run a gamut of emotions, through out this day, first I broke down, no one in my life ever did anything like this, yes, I have to admit cried some, well more than some, to think that you or the friends would even consider making such an unbelievable, kind offer to me, a total stranger, the truth after all, I've only been a member here since March, how can anyone know another in such a short time, especially on the internet, even when people know you, how many would make such a gesture, from here I went to embarrassment, to feeling ashamed, and what a sad commentary on how I handled my life to bring me to this, when asking myself should I accept, a part of me say's yes, but then think it is not a proper thing to do, not right, I'm very confused to say the least.

Then I think of Kassie, 40 day's today, every shadow or movement, I think it's her, I honestly couldn't make a move without her being under foot, sit there waiting for my next move, and just to bug her, kid with her, I would walk from one room to another, do a sudden about face, go in another direction quickly, and that little bugger wouldn't give out, she made me laugh so much, yes, would even follow me to bathroom, sit and stare at me, I would give her a sudden look , and she would turn her head as if ashamed, she was truly a funny most lovable tiny thing, I miss her, and no she can't be replaced no more than Baby Blessing can replace Cassie, I am very lost and lonely without her, and would appreciate the companionship, the un conditional love she gave me if possible with another Yorkie, I need someone underfoot, jumping in my face, showering me with kisse's, I guess I'm saying, indeed I would love to have another Yorkie, and I'm sure Kassie would want me to have another friend, just as much as I would want for her if I had gone first.

The truth is I'm not sure this is the right way to go, I honestly don't want to take advantage of anyone's kindness, no I can't afford another Yorkie, was looking to adopt but even there vet fee's are more than I can afford right now, I have one of the kindest Vets around who permitted me to pay Kassie's vet bill in installments, another 6 months yet, so in the meantime I have been filling out applications for a re-homer but that is not going well, they are few and far between but that I can afford.

What to do, what to do, decision's, decision's, at this stage of my life they are becoming more difficult, please don't think ill of me but I will have to give this some more thought, and can't thank you enough for your more than kind offer which has truthfully overwhelmed the very fiber of my being, you Pattie, Jack, Dan, Corinne, Connie have given me more already, than I could ever hope for, a renewed hope, and faith in the capacity of the human heart to reach out to other's even while enduring their own trial's, tribulations, if the whole world was filled with the love of the Yorkie friends we have in this community, there would be peace from one end of the earth to the other, no more war's, I believe that.

I will give this more thought but wish you to know, you have my heartfelt graitude for being so kind to me, thank you, thank you very much.

Embarrassingly yet Gratefully

Papi

[wemple2]

Papi ...Just say the word, and I'm in!!! I really don't think you'll regret it, but I do understand your hesitation. Just remember Kassie will always have a very special place in your heart, that can never be taken away, oh the sweet memories...I often talk to Winston about his "big brother", Spencer, I will never forget him, as long as I live and maybe longer, because I just know he's in heaven, and he's waiting for me. But while I'm on this green earth, I know deep down inside, he's happy to have a "little brother", and he's happy that I'm happy. So don't feel bad, just be gracious, that there are people here who really do care for you, even thou, as you said, we really don't know you...It just feels like we do...so, think about it. What ever you decide to do, I will support that decision, but I'd love to hear you say "YES I ACCEPT"!!!

Hello my friends Dan, Corinne,

Your love for Kassie is so beautifully expressed in your tribute to a true friend.

Thank you for those kind words, true Kassie was my friend, my dearest companion, yet at this point of my sojourn in time, she came to be more, she was my life, if there is such a thing as a second life, I want to come back as a Yorkie so as to love her on equal terms, not as her master but her male counterpart, yes, I think I'm losing it.

We too have lost a little love to an incureable illness. Reading your feelings and love for Kassie brought me to tears for you. I know what you are going through and my heart aches for you.

Corinne, sadly I know, and I am so sorry for you and Dan, your baby Jewel was adorable, she looked so cute with that little tongue hanging out her mouth, she was so dear and precious to you both, I'm sorry to say you do know what I'm going through, as many other's here like us.

What I did find profound in your bio for Jewel's was:

The lessons this little four pound bundle of fur taught us is inmeasureable. She has single pawdedly taught us more about Love, Trust, Hope and Faith then we knew we ever could

That's exactly how I felt about Kassie, she taught me love, and I appreciate, and thank you for sharing these warm expressions of Jewel's love, indeed we two legged creatures can learn a lot from these little furbabies, you and Dan obviously stayed awake in class, paid attention to your loving teacher Jewel, and learned the lesson of LOVE well, just as I did from Kassie.

As Patti & Jack posted, when you are ready to open your arms to another baby, I would be honored if I can help.

Corinne, I thank you and Dan for your kind, thoughful offer, it is very much appreciated, I'm am so humbled, finding all this love, yes love, from all the friends difficult to digest, my mind is in a dither so to speak or is it my heart ? sadly most of my life, I couldn't imagine anyone truly loving me, can't believe I'm sharing this with the whole world, perhaps I had better make an appointment with a shrink and come back when I'm better.

In any event, may I thank you very much for being so kind.

Gratefully

Papi
