| oh my god! I had tears as I read your post. I am so very sorry for your loss. How hurt you must be! As least he will now always be with you by your side, always. I'm sure this pain will not go away fast, but in time it will heal.. at least partially.. as I know he will never be forgotten. You and your wife are in my heart and prayers.

| Thanks (again) for all the kind words. It is simply not getting any easier. I have been at work for the past 18 hours, which is good and bad. I still miss Zack like crazy and I keep thinking about him. But, at least being so busy, is keeping my mind occupied a little. What gets me the most sad is thinking that I will never ever see him or his little smile again. He always smiled... When we went for walks, he would always turn around and smile at me to make sure i was watching. Just writing that is making me cry again. |

| One more follow up - I have not been able to eat or sleep since this happened. Since Sat lunch, I have had a bagel and a bowl of soup. that is it. As for sleep, none on Sat night, and about 6 hours last night (with the help of a sedative). Is this normal? How long should it last? |

| Allan, First, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. It is so hard when we lose a pet. So often the world does not understand our pain, so I am glad that you have found yorkietalk. I would also like to reiterate that someplace in your town/city may offer grief counseling. Please consider looking into this. I can only speak from my own experiences. I have had pets my entire life, and sadly, with that comes the reality of dealing with their loss. I've been fortunate that all of my babies lived long lives which gave me time to prepare for their eventual loss. However, you are never truly ready, and having one snatched away as you did has got to be devastating. Please know that in time, the pain does lessen and become bareable. Allow yourself time. Please try to eat something, even little bits here and there to keep up your strength. Do not beat yourself up. This could not have been foreseen and tragic accidents do happen. It sounds like you and your wife gave Zach a wonderful life and he loved you very much. He would not want you to be agonizing over what could've been. If you decide to get another yorkie (now or in the future) know that, while he or she will never replace a beloved pet, the bonds that you form with a new pet will help in ways that nothing else can. Only you can decide when the time is right. My heart breaks for you.

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | I am at a loss for words....What a nightmare. You have lived a nightmare....I pray for Zackie...I am not sure you ever get over it. I had 2 ferrets. one died suddenly April 3 2006. No idea why he was bouncing around curled up in his bed and died....May 2006 (yes Mother's Day of all Days) My remaining ferret was helping me with laundry he curled up in the warm sheets and fell asleep in the middle of the floor. My daughters friend walked thru the living room stepped on the sheets and broke his back. He did not die instantly. I had to hold him for 10 minutes. HORRIBLE Yes, you are lucky Zackie did not suffer. Do not try to "get over" Zackie leave a part of your heart for him. I look at my ferrrets picture and still cry. And thats okay. I go to where they are buried and I talk to them. Just last night I sat behind the garage where they are and talked to them. It was 70 degrees at 8 at night (rare here in MI) And I told them they would enjoy the warm grass and warm air. I have Bella and Diggy (2 yorkies) They do not replace my Murphy and Willis they hold a whole different part of my heart. Leave part of your heart to Zackie...but open it up to new love. My yorkies helped me sooooo much. Im not saying run out and get another yorkie now but leave your mind open to new love. Maybe you can get a different breed if you think it will remind you too much of Zackie. I think you should allow yourself to be reminded of him. WHen you are reminded think of the love Zackie has for you and the good times! I know easier said than done. I was a disaster for weks but eventually could control it. Never went away, just controlled. I wish you all the best. By any chance are you catholic? Im not making this a religious thing but I found peace in at Hallmark, they have Saint Charms...and I have St. Francis charm on my Bellas collar and it says "Protect my Dog" It is especially for pets. Just an idea if you believe in that.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I had to post again...I had Zack on my mind so much and just wanted to check in and see how you're doing Allen. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU EAT !!! Even if it tastes like cardboard try to eat something healthy....Little Zack wouldn't want his daddy sick ok ??? My heart just broke when you said he always looked back to make sure you were watching him....My Chanel does that too....you can share her with me if it will help ??? I know your heart is broken but there IS light at the end of the tunnel and one day you will look back on his little smiley face with a smile of your own.....I don't know when but it will happen one day and that raw pain will lesson over time. Hang in there and you have friends here. |

| Sorry, I just saw this. I am SO sorry this has happened. I do understand what you're going through now. I was a mess after I had to put my 15 year old toy poodle down a few years ago. It was my first pet after leaving my parent's house and was like our "first born". I know I had so many good years with him and you only got to have a couple with yours. It's very normal for you to hurt this much but as many here have told you, it will get better with time. You will never forget your Zackie. Hold those memories close and try to take care of yourself. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

| Anyway, I pulled an all-nighter at work - mostly due to court filing deadlines of today, but in small part becuase I did not want to go home and lose it when Zack didn't bark to welcome me. Zackie virtually never barked. The only time he did was when I was walking up the stairs towards our apartment. Somehow he knew when it was me. (He never barked when it was just my wife coming home). The thought of walking up the stairs to silence was a bit too much to think about, so I decided to help our throughtout the night. At least I was able to stomach a bagel this am. |
