Zackie, my 2 year old Yorkie died last night. - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Allan --

SO sorry for your loss ... but please know there is/was nothing you could have done. It was just Zack's time, as cruel and unbelievable as that may be.

Zack -- being the little man he was -- would not want you to torture yourself in this way. You are going against his wishes to do so. So please, cut yourself some slack.

You will naturally be sad as this was such a great friend to you and devastation after a tragedy is only normal. It will lessen, if you let it.

And as hard as it may be to even think of getting a new friend, it may be the best thing you can do. You can NEVER replace Zack -- but you can give yourself an outlet for all the love you have that now has no place to go. And the best part of the deal? You get that love back ...

Thoughts and prayers are with you as you wrangle through the hardest times.

Allen My God I am Crying for you right now. This is so very sad that this hapened. He was so young and so adorable. Have fath that he is with the lord and you will see him again.
We lost our Ashkie not a Yorkie when he was only 3. I feel your pain. We did get another dog of the same breed. She is not Ashkie And I wouldn't want her to be but she does give us Joy. Remember Zackie for the good times and love he shared and know he is watching over you.
I will say a prayer for you and your Wife that that heartache you feel will lessen in time. A great big

Hug for you both.

My heart is breaking for you and your wife. I guess it was just Zack's time
to go the Rainbow Bridge. These terrible things happen no matter how
careful we are. I pray that your pain heals soon.

I can't get little Zack off my mind...I hope this doesn't make it harder but thought this poem is something that may help you in your grief...it's beautiful and I want to think all the little Rainbow Bridge dogs are around us all the time in spirit...and little Zack is flying with angels now....

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, i do not sleep;
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain;
When you awakewn in the morning's hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush; of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

So So sorry for your loss. I have been thinking about your story and I can not imagine the pain that you are going through. We are sending prayers your way.

Little Bit · 05-14-2007, 07:54 AM

I am so sorry to hear about little Zack. He was such a cutie and I can tell he was very loved! Please don't beat yourselves up with guilt. Sometimes accidents just happen. Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Allan · 05-14-2007, 08:19 AM

Thanks V or the poem, and the Rest in peace you made for zack (although it is making me cry). I am going to have it made into a picture, for the inside cover of a journal i am starting to chart my thoughts and try to ease my pain about my pain

I'm sorry I made you cry...I was crying while I did it...you really touched me

I think that's a good idea for you...also...there are many cities now that offer grief support ..like your local aspca or humane society. Pets are family and are being more and more recognized as such.....It's sad but people never had places to go to talk in the past - which is why this section is SO important...but there are also other outlets for you if you feel the need.....and if you need any help with pictures I'll be happy to help - just say the word ok ??

Hugs...

[B][COLOR="RedHey V..........in the short time I have been a YT member one thing I have learned for sure is that you are just so nice. That poem was so sweet!

ellie81 · 05-14-2007, 08:44 AM

ohhh I'm sooo sorry!!!! This must be sooo terrible. I want to cry just by seeing his picture, I can;t imagine how you are feeling now.
I know there is not much I can say to comfort you, but just save the good memories in your heart and time will heal the pain.
I know another yorkie will not take Zackie's place, but when the time comes to maybe get one, he will make you happy too.
I'll for you and your family. God bless you

Allan
I'm so sorry about Zach, I know you are somewhere between shock because of the accident, grief because he his gone and disbelief because you can't believe he is actually gone.

I can relate to the grief and disbelief. On 4/4/04 we lost our English Bulldog and were hearbroken. I remember my husband, daughter and myself sitting on the floor beside her bed crying telling her goodbye and the tears the following day as my husband and I buried her....she was such a part of our family it took a long time to heal. Today, we still miss her and her special "bully" traits, but can now remember without the hurt knowing her time with us was a good time and she left knowing she was loved. In time you will heal also as impossible as that seems today,you will remember little Zach all the joy he brought into your lives and be able to smile without tears. My thoughts are with you.

Lexi Rae · 05-14-2007, 09:05 AM

the tears are just flowing down my face,, im so sorry for your loss..
i have to get up and away from my dest right now to stop my self from
crying... how sad this is.. my heart go out to you and your family

rockbaker · 05-14-2007, 09:24 AM

Just know your baby is still with you in spirit and will wait for you at the rainbow bridge....

the poem made me cry too...I've lost several over the many years of my life and it never gets any easier....

don't be afraid to cry...your baby was worth crying over...

prayers from NC

roxanne
