I'm so SORRY |
I'm so so sorry. Last evening when I read your post I was speechless and the tears were rolling down my cheeks that I couldn't write. Want you and your wife to know that there are great people here on yt and that many, many prayers have gone out. Your pain is so raw, it will take time and more time to slowly heal. Remember: your not alone, you've got all of us to talk to when you feel the need.:animal-pa |
Honey the pain will never go away but it will get better, i`m so sorry of what happened to you and reading your message made me cry. It hit home how much i love my Yorkie Tino and how much hes change my life since having him. you ever want someone to chat to you can always email me. xxx:animal-pa |
I just read your post and I'm so sorry to read the tragic way he left your life. I hope you have lots of good memories of your time together. I lost my own yorkie, Zack yesterday after nearly 16 years and the pain of their loss you just never are prepared for. |
My heart goes out to both you and your wife. Please try to remember that although he didn't live long, he lived a happy life with you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Quote:

Through YT I have become aware of the many hidden dangers that are waiting for our little furbabies. Posts like yours, Allan, help others. May you find a sense of peace in your memories. |
Zackie Zakie will always live on in your heart. It is too soon to even think about getting over this tragedy. It sounds like you had such a great Furbaby, and I can only say how very sad this made me, I could hardly bring myself to read your story about your great loss. My heart hurts for you. You really do not need some of YT members advice about what you should have done to prevent. I know they mean well, none of us yorkie lovers need to feel guilty. Accidents happen, and we all do our best to protect them, and it is not easy. Most of us had at least a few close calls, I have several that still upset me. We cannot lock them up to be over protective. So glad you reached out for support during this most difficult time. Please take care of yourself, Zakie would want that for you. Sincerely, Cindy & Jazzi |
My Heart Hurts For You! I am so so sorry for your loss, I can feel your pain, I have a little Yorkie that is going to be 2 the end of April and I can't imagine life without her.* I recently lost my cocker spaniel, Chelsea of 13 years and I felt very lucky to have my little Precious, it was as if she looked up at me and said it will be ok Mommy.* I had said I would never have another puppy when my Chelsea (my cocker) passed on but I can't even tell you how lucky I feel to have my little Precious.* Good Luck and our prayers are with you!!* If you have never read the Rainbow Bridge Poem you should it might helps you get thru the hardest times of losing your baby, I know it did me! Miss Precious GiGi:aimeeyork* and Mommy |
Please accept our deepest condolence,, how tragic & sad for you.:angelyork |
he was beautiful Im sorry |
Why is it that god always seems to take the good ones first? My heart is aching for you. I have had many four legged friends over my life and the pain of loss is almost unbearable. But, the treasured memories I have of each lil soul live on forever. I, as Im sure most of us who love and have furbabies, know exactly where your feelings are at this moment. Please know you are NOT alone. I have recently lost my maltese Spike, it too was sudden and totally unexpected. He was a diabetic and had to have 2 shots a day. He was doing great. Took each shot like a trooper (mostly cuz he knew the cheese was a gimme) and on a thursday nite, I gave him his shot and he was fine. then...he started to bleed from the injection site. As a nurse I knew the red flag and got him to the vet first thing in the am. He spent the next few days in hosp. I had just gotten my 81 y old dad out of hosp after major surg for colon cancer and he was recovering at my house. So I had my hands full. Sunday nite, my dad turned septic and he was rushed back to hosp and put on life support. The next morning, Monday, 8 am I got the call from my vet. he was in tears (he loved spike too) and he told me he was gone. he bled into his lungs and died in his sleep. I didnt think I could breathe. My heart was shattered. And then some time passed, dad recovered after another major surg, and my heart began to mend. Altho, when I see a maltese to this day, I tear up. but I know that Spike lived a happy life and would want me to be happy as well. I had major guilt that I wasnt there with him, I would have been 24/7 if I had only known but that wasnt to be. I never got to say goodbye. Maybe thats good in a way I dont know. Today, I have 2 wonderful yorkies Duncan 1 and Piper 14 weeks. they are the loves of my life. I think of Spikey everyday and carry him with me always. As you will too. Time helps to heal but not forget. Im sure Spike was there to show Zack where the best toys are! May God keep his loving arms around you and your family and bring you peace.

sorry it posted twice! |
:unlove: |
4 Attachment(s) Thanks everyone for the ongoing kind and supportive words. Although Zackie died nearly 10 months ago, it still feels like just yesterday. I still miss him so much, but I am finally at a point where I can see a Yorkie on the street that looks like Zack and have the good feelings (because of the memories) outweigh the sad feelings (missing him). Yoyo is now 9 months old and a wonderful dog. She, like Zack, is so loving and full of fun and energy. I tell her all of the time about her "big" brother that she never got to meet. I have posted a few pictures of our "little" yoyo (as well as of Zackie). thanks as always, Allan |
Very nice post, Allan and so glad you are able to open your heart to another precious pup. Warmly, Deborah |
:cry8: I am so sorry you lost your beloved Zackie. When I read this I just began weeping........what a tragedy. :hands: :hands: :hands: I pray that God will comfort you and heal your broken heart. Rest in peace, sweet furbaby. |
I just saw the pictures of your "little" Yoyo.......what a beautiful lab. That dog looks like he's got it made! |
Memories...will help get you through each day...remember Zack, always. But just look at Yoyo...so happy...so content, I am so happy you found each other. |

A dog's purpose I am sorry for your loss and hope this will help you find some comfort. A Dog's Purpose Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, 'I know why.' Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, 'People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life-- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?' The six-year-old continued, 'Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.' Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: * When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently. Be always grateful for each new day. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY! |
Cobird2, I absolutely loved your post. Even though Yoyo is just a baby (she is around 9 months old), at times, I can't help but think how hard it is one day (hopefully far far far away) when we lose her. She (like Zack before her) is such a part of our family, that I can't imagine life without her. I am still having trouble without Zack and he died nearly a year ago. Mariana, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. If you would like to talk about it, please send me a private message. I know how hard it is to lose a loved pet who was so young. Allan |

4 Attachment(s) Hi Kezza (and everyone else), I actually still visit Yorkietalk every so often. For some reason though, I tend to only read the In Memory Of section. I could never fully leave this site, as the members here were so warm and comforting when Zackie died. Since this thread was revived, I might as well post a short update. Zack died nearly two years ago. I still miss him tremendously. Luckily, he is buried in my parents backyard, so I still visit him. The hardest part though is that I am finding it hard to remember his personality. He was nearly 2 when he died, and it has been 2 years since then. So, my memories are getting foggy. That absolutely kills me. But, I do remember that he was a super loving, friendly, playful pup that always had a smile on his face. Anyway, Yoyo is now almost 2 and an absolute doll. About 6 months ago, we moved to the suburbs and now have a big (fenced in) yard for Yoyo to play in. She absolutely LOVES being able to run around and play fetch virtually every day. Yoyo is super friendly, and outgoing, and loves everyone. My wife is heads over heels in love with yoyo as well, and Yoyo sleeps in our room virtually every night (either on her bed or in our bed with us). She is fully housebroken and alwasy barks when she has to go out. We have a cat and a kitten, and the three of them get along so well. (Yoyo and the kitten tend to nap in the kitchen in Yoyo's second bed all of the time. They are really cute together and best friends). Not much else to report. But, again, I do want to thank everyone on here for the help they gave me when I needed it most. Losing a pet is so very difficult, and no one can truly understand it unless they have gone through it themselves. Lastly, I have attached a few pics of the pets! -Allan |
I just read this post.... Allan, Thank you for your update. I'm glad to read you had a new baby and things are well. I'm sorry for your loss of Zack, Like you, i have experienced my first loss of my ture love (JULZ) on Halloween. I am beginning to wonder if "that feeling" will ever subside within.... We got our new baby about 4 weeks after, DUDLEY has filled the void that Julz left behind and we love him so much. I didn't know it was possible to love another "as much" with so much pain still inside, but i do. Your new baby is a doll, love the kittens too!:) |
