Connie, I can't thank you enough either, this is all so overwhelming for me, I just don't know what to say anymore, it's difficult for me to understand why you, any of the friends here would make such a kind offer to a total stranger really, it's unfathomable for me to think you, other's care about my happiness, please no offense intended, as I sincerely appreciate it, thank you so much Connie, I just don't know how to handle it if you will, I have a lot of thinking to do, meditating.

By the way viewed your web site, tried to leave a comment in your guestbook but it wouldn't open, I was amazed at your creative talents, your beautiful rock art, I've never seen that befor, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

On a more serious note may I thank you Connie for caring, your a special kind of lady with an obviously big heart, a Yorkie heart is what I prefer to call it.

Thank you again, very much for your kind consideration.

Gratefully

Papi

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.

I completely agree with ChicagoSoul. So many people in our daily lives, sadly, has never known the pure trust and love our little babies honor us with. They just can't understand the emotional and the physical loss we have and can makes us feel as if we have a "screw loose".

I came to YorkieTalk to find help and answers to Jewels illness. I didn't find the answers but what I did find was so much more. A group of the most caring people I could ever ask for who understood my heartache. Having so many people who understand and share in my grief helped me more than I can express in words.

There is so much comfort in knowing our grief and feelings are valid. Yours is too... No need to seek a psychologist, you are one of us and we are a family, you are our family.

You are our Brother, Father, Uncle, Grandfather - you are OUR Papi!

I'm giving you a Cyber Hug!

Papi,

Sounds like there are lots of folks here who would be happy to help put another baby into your arms. Please count me among them.

I know how hard this is and understand how badly you still feel about Kassie. (This was a decision I had to make with my own Yorkie as he fought a losing battle against cancer at age 11.) Afterward, I did not want another dog. Swore I would never have another.

A week later, I agreed to go "look" at puppies. It was immediate love. My boy Ozzie "picked" me and here, more than 9 years later, I have the best little furry friend I ever had.

I know that doesn't mean that it would work out the same for you, but I hope you aren't being too hard on yourself for wanting another little friend. The last thing any of these babies would want is for us to be lonely or sad.

[Baby Blessing]

Hi Papi, I just wanted to say we are praying that you will be able to get another Yorkie real soon. I want to thank you for talking with me today on the phone, I know how difficult it was for you to talk about Kassie. Jack and I have been through such as that what you are experiencing in your grieving process. I do believe that the Lord has a little girl yorkie puppy somewhere waiting to be placed in your arms, I pray that it will be soon especially now that you are wanting to get another and are more than ready. Yes Papi, our home was so lonely without ours and we just thank the Lord for leading us to Baby Blessing. Please if you ever want to email us and share in your times with Kassie please feel comfortable in doing so.
Again Papi, keep looking to the Lord for his strength, at our age it isn't easy but through HIM that is what keeps us going and it makes it easier climbing that hill.
Kind Regards, Jack and Patti

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"!!!

Hi wemple2 (Kathy)

May I first apologize for my late reply, I just get into such a deep depression as of late, I just don't have the abliity to do anything, can't even get here to the boards, sadly, I'm sorry.

I haven't any doubt your perspective is the right one, so true, just as Spencer will alway's have a place in your heart and memories, and I'm sorry for his passing, I can almost sense, feel the love you had for him in the spirit of your words, I'm very sorry.

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.

I believe that is the way I should also look at things, Kassie I'm sure would also like to see me with a"little sister" not for me to go on being depressed and lonely, I'm sure she would like to see me happy also.

Kathy may I thank you, the friends for caring, and not seeing me as I perceive myself, once again Yorkie friends have an unusually special love in their heart's, and are alway's projecting that love, and compassion unselfishly outward in all direction's, that's what amazes me, and humbles me, why I am so happy I found this community.

Kathy my hands are sort of tied right now as far as giving you an answer to your kind offer, as I have come to learn, threads, post of this nature are against the rules, policies of YorkieTalk which I can well understand, and will obey, adhere to.

I sincerely thank you, and will be forever grateful for your on going support, and kindness.

Papi

Papi...I know how the depression and loneliness can be, I can truly vouch for that, there were times, I swear, that I would break down for no apparent reason, I just utterly missed him so much. During that time, I told myself I never wanted to feel like that again, I swore I would NOT get another dog...but as time went on, I realized how wrong that was, I needed another Yorkie...there was no question about it...I started my search, it took over my life, I wanted another JUST LIKE SPENCER...well I have to tell you, if I had tried to find one any more different then Spencer, I couldn't have. The difference is like night and day. But I love them both despite their differences. So I know, in time you will make up your mind...HAPPY SEARCHING!!!

Hello Dan and Corinne,

I came to YorkieTalk to find help and answers to Jewels illness.

I as you also came for the same reason's, Kassie was still with me then, I was looking, hoping to find help for her, a miracle cure if you will, inspite of knowing it was to late, yet in so doing found a family of friends who do understand, so ready to share in one another's sorrow, which in itself can be so uplifting, and I am grateful for.

I certainly appreciate knowing I in fact don't need a psychologist, that is truly a relief as one wonders at time's like this, thank you, I appreciate your accepting me as one of the family,

You are our Brother, Father, Uncle, Grandfather - you are OUR Papi!

These are the most endearing, kindest expressions ever bestowed on me, needless to say they made Papi come to tears, what a beautiful, kind soul you are Corinne, thank you so very much, I am never going to forget your words, they mean more to me than you will ever know.

Thank you very much.

Cyber Hug from Papi

Evening Nicole,

Yes it truly amazes me, and is a very humbling experience for me which I am sincerely grateful, and thank you for your kind offer.

It may have been 9 years ago you lost your first baby to cancer at 11 years, and I'm very sorry, though I'm sure fond memories remain in your heart to this very day, and it appears Ozzie was the right decision for you, I'm coming to the conclusion Kassie would also want me to be happy, it's 43 days today Kassie is gone, and life has become so empty without her, I so feel the need, the companionship of a Yorkie, once one of these little preciouas babies grab your heart, come into one's life, it becomes impossible to live without them, thus I have begun a search for a new baby as you said, I don't think Kassie wants me to continue to be lonely and sad, though it's more than just that involved, I go into such deep seated bouts of depression, I know a sign of weakness, yet find it even difficult to come in here to respond to the friends post, and at which time I wish to apologize to you also for being so late replying , I'm sorry, I'm just not functiong well lately, my sky has been grey, filled with darkness, and thick gloom since Kassie left me, yes that may sound a bit melo-dramatic, yet it is the way I feel sadly, hopefully there may be a brighter tomorrow soon.

May I thank you Nicole for caring, for your kindness towards me.

[Baby Blessing]

Dear Papi, please take care of yourself, we know how difficult this time is for you. Keep looking to the Lord for his strength. All that you are feeling, we have been there. We look forward to when you will be able to get another yorkie. I have to say that our getting Baby Blessing was the best thing we did, she brought back laughter and joy into our home and lives. We really prayed about getting another and God answered those prayers. Keep believing, if God wants it to be so, it will be. We are keeping you in our prayers.
Patti and Jack Baby Blessing and DollieDae

[Dan & Corinne]

Sounds like a bad night for you Papi... But the sun will shine for you nice and bright and bring happiness to your heart again soon.

Like Patti said, trust in the Lord. Your prayers will be answered.

I can't wait for the day the darkness lifts from your heart and grace us with your charm and wit! Bet you will have some whopper of stories to share with us.

Take care of yourself and we'll chat again!

Cyber Hug!

I am sorry for your loss... My girl is a little over 1 year old. Every time I read something like this, I get started worrying really bad. I cannot imagine how much pain it must have been for you. But she is in peace now and I am sure she wishes you all the happiness.

I feel really blessed to be able to have Haruka. Having a yorkie is such a wonderful gift. Then I also had to prepare myself to invite her to my life. I feel so grateful that I really made it to have her. I have always wanted a yorkie. When I was depressed, being alone in this country, facing culture shocks every day and not being able to tell anyone as an immigrant, I didn't have Haruka. But I found a way to cope somehow. I had to find ways.. When I determined to get a yorkie, I didn't know how long it would take me to be actually ready environmentally and also FINANCIALLY. I waited for one year. I visited yorkie meet-up, went to all the dog parks and pet shops to meet different dogs.

So I am not sure what your plan is. (I am sorry that I haven't read all the threads) But I do hope that you find your healthy ways to cope from this pain. You are a great writer!! It sounded to me that this thread was one of the ways for you to cope. One day when you are ready, you may get a yorkie and also keep the wonderful memories of Kassie.

Peace and Love,

Michiko

hi Papi, I'm just checking in to see how your doing.
been thinking about you..........
(((((Papi)))))

[Surfie and Tiki]

I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend Kassie, your tribute to her touched my heart. I would be honored as well if I can be a part in helping you get a new little Yorkie. You are a very kind, gentle human being, and I hope you remain a part of the YT family...........

Hugs to you!

[RMKC]

I am in too, it will an honor to someone that is that loving and kind !

[SophieRose]

Good evening, Papi and after viewing your beautiful photography website, I want to call you by your true name, however, will call you by your YT name, Papi. I am not sure you remember, but my beloved Sophie died on January 23 @ 12:30 pm. this year, taking her last breath in my arms. So, you understand, my heart still feels pain when I look at her picture, smell the lining of her jacket or look at her wee urn that sits on my nightstand.

BUT...Into my life, exactly one month ago, came dear Charlie, a rescued male Yorkie who is 10 years old. He is the dearest, little guy who has some health conditions, but every time he looks into my eyes, my heart feels so full.

I, too wanted another pup to take care of, love and look forward to seeing at the end of the day. When I first met Charlie and decided to adopt him, it was still not a clear decision and even decided not to bring him into my life. Two weeks later, my head and heart were clear with the message "Charlie belongs with you". Because of the adoption process and he needed more medical attention, time was on my side.

Having an older pup is just wonderful because I am older. I raised Sophie from 14 weeks and let her go at 13. For me, a senior was a perfect choice and matches my energy level.

So, Papi, give yourself time to "sift through your broken heart", and her death has probably reopened unresolved wounds in your life. Please remember though, living without a furry companion is once less day of feeling the love again these precious animals share with us.

If you are concerned about the longevity of your life and a puppy, don't let that be an issue. There is always someone who will love and care for your pup if you are unable. Charlie and I will live our lives to the fullest; we found each other just in time.

Warmly, Deborah
