Zackie, my 2 year old Yorkie died last night. - Page 17 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi all. It has been a really long time since I visited YT. It just makes me so sad reading about all of the Yorkies that have died. It has now been over 5 months since Zack died, and I still am upset about it. I just miss him so much. Yoyo is a loving dog and a total handful (and getting huge), but I still miss my little Zackie. He was sweetest little dog. It pains me so much when I remember some of the little things - like when I'd be sitting at the kitchen table, he'd start climbing up the back of my legs to get on my lap. Or, how he'd grab a sock the fell and speed all around the room to play "keep away." I miss when we'd lie on the couch watching TV, and he'd be lying at the top of the pillow (almost on my head). I miss how he'd kiss my face all over. It still hurts, but thankfully not as much and not as often.

In a few days, I will post some updated pics of Yoyo.

As promised, here are a few updated pictures of Zackie's little sister (who know would outweight him by 30 pounds!).

What a sad story

Soooo sorry for your loss... We'll keep you in our prayers

I had a wolf cross. She was AWSOM. She knew when I was sad.She cried with me when my mom died. She had the most awsom howl. I miss her so much. I have 2 little yorkies now to ease the hurt. But there will never be another Tasha

Hello,

It has been about 1.5 months since my last update. Anyway, Yoyo is nearly 6 months old and getting bigger and bigger. She is however becoming even better behaved. She is pretty much housebroken, and trustworthy. Although I love Yoyo (she is such a great dog), I still miss Zack so much. I think about him all of the time, and still frequently talk to him. Tongight I was watching tv in our upstairs loft (which overlooks our living room). Anyway, I looked over the balcony and yoyo was conked out on the floor next to the couch sleeping! Looking at her reminded me of Zack, since Zack NEVER EVER slept. No matter the time, he was always awake. Except once.... I took him for a really long walk once. We probably walked around 5 miles. Anyway, when we got home, Zack curled up into a little ball on his bed and slept! That was the only time I ever saw him sleep! yoyo, on the hand, loves to sleep!

I guess that is it for now. I wish I missed Zack less, but I don't. If anything, it is now even more.

Hi Allan,

I know exactly what you mean... It's been over a year and a half since Jewel died and I still miss her so much. It's not that I can't let go, it's how much she became such a huge part of my life. I now have Jolie and Jen and I love them both to pieces but they do not replace Jewel. Just like YoYo will never replace Zack.

Sometimes when I'm dozing off in bed, I can swear I feel her curled up against the small of my back where she usually liked to sleep.

As much as it hurts to lose them prematurely as we both did, I'm so grateful she was in my life for those few short years. But in my heart, I just want her back...

Great.... I'm crying (again)...
Sending you a cyber hug!

Wow. So tragic. I can only imagine how you must feel. Know that all of our thoughts are with you.

teri88 · 12-07-2007, 07:57 AM

Oh Allan, my heart just breaks for you. Zack was a wonderful, beautiful dog. Our first yorkie died a month after we got him, and even though we had two more that I loved to death, they never took the place of Bandit. Eventually, the pain dulls a little bit (it's been almost 2 years for me). And, you look back and have the happy memories. I know it doesn't help much, but try to remember how happy Zack was and how he knew he was loved. You gave him the best life and you can feel good about that. Zack is at the rainbow bridge, and I know with all of my heart that you will see him again.

mdycio75 · 12-07-2007, 06:57 PM

i am so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I just lost my little girl coco this morning. She was only 2 months' old. it was a horrible day for me and i know exactly how horrible a day you are having too. you are in my thoughts.

He was my best friend and I miss him so much. We arranged for someone to pick Zack up and hold his body until the burial. That took place a couple of hours ago; it killed me carrying zack down in the box with his bed and toys. I was okay at first, but when the guy put zack in the car I just lost it. I just can't beleive that I will never see my best friend ever again. The only thing that helps even a little is knowing that he didnt suffer at all and that I was able to get him when it happened (despite being at 3 am) and not have to leave him outside overnight (which would have absolutely devastated me).

I feel your pain, a tragic thing happened to me 4 years ago..the vet killed my 5 year old, he was with me every moment of every day..my heart was so broken...4 years later, it still hurts. But getting new yorkies always makes you feel alive again..they help you heal..you will never get another one like Zack, l like humans they are also different..but it is also an honor to a past puppy to feel the need to have another.it only means you miss him so much you need a new pal to love....it does not replace, but makes you need to move on as the new baby needs so much love and care..gee as bad as I felt on part of me, the other part just had to smile at all the silly things the new puppy did...and the kisses i got, well it made me feel like living again...I am on my second family now..I have 4 urns at home. I do not know what I would do without the yorkies I have now, they brought new meaning to my life and I could not live without them..they are my life..hope this helps...pooh's mum

HI Allan,
Good to see you post again, we lost our babies within days of each other so i always remember you. I still think of my Heidi all the time..she was with me 14 years and when i lost her i felt like a part of me had gone with her.

My new baby Pixie, is also 6 months old now, and she makes me smile

she's the cutest, prettiest, funniest little ball of fun and i love her so much..she's made my life complete again.

Take care of yourself and have a wonderful christmas with gorgeous YoYo.

Hi all,

I tend not to visit Yorkietalk that often because it hurts so much. When I do visit, the only section I visit is the In Memory one. In reading the posts, I get so depressed thinking about Zack. I try to respond to people who have recently lost their Yorkies, but sometimes I feel like I spend more time talking about my loss of Zack rather than trying to make them feel a bit better about their loss. Anyway, it is 1:30 am, and I am sitting up with Yoyo. She was spayed today and has been really lethargic as a result. So, I have been sitting on the couch with her for the past 5 hours to make sure she is doing okay. I really love her, but he pain of Zack's loss still is so fresh and still hurts so much. Despite Zackie having died more than 7 months ago, I still miss him more than I ever even imagined was possible.

I want to say I am so sorry for your loss.Your story touched me so deeply,When I sit here and look at my gang I think about the two adults I have and all I can think is they have become such a big part of my family how could I ever accept losing one.I have never posted on this part of YT I am a very emotional person and it hurts to look or even see this section for me.BUT!..... I had to respond to you.I really feel your loss and I send my prayers that the pain dims so you can remember the times that make you laugh without crying.I AM SOOOO SORRY!

MaxwellHouse · 12-19-2007, 02:45 AM

Allen,

I think of your loss often because it was so sad. I lost my 12 year old yorkie Brutus 10 months ago (totally unexpected) and your post was the first one to make me really cry for both of us. I had 10 minutes to say goodbye, but you didn't. I go another Yorkie, Maxwell a month later. He is a pistol. Helped me a lot, even though he is total opposite of Brutus, he helped me heal by laughter every day. Still think of Brutus daily. I guess only time heals.

carole goodman · 12-19-2007, 10:35 PM

I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Such a tradgic event. I had to have my 9 year old Yorkie JC put to sleep in August , it was so hard but I had to do it as he was crippled with a genetic bone disease and suffering.
We grieved , and then in October got another Yorkie puppy, we will never forget our faithful companion for 9 years, but getting another yorkie has really helped, he is adorable.
It will geet better.
Carole
