| Hello everyone, i just got back from my parents and burying Zackie. I got there around 7:15 and dug his grave in the corner of their backyard. It is a really peaceful area. the guy came with the casket about 30 minutes later. He gave it to me and I carried Zackie to the backyard. I asked if i could look at Zack and he said he was ok to look at. After the guy left with his wife, it was just me and my parents. i opened the casket and started to cry (as did my mother). I asked my parents if they could leave me alone wiht Zack for awhile, which they did. I pet his head and his body and spoke to him for about 20 minutes. I told him how much I loved him, how much i missed him, that i would never forget him, that he was my best friend, and how sorry i was for what happened. i told him that i'd always love him and how hard this is on me. lastly, i said goodbye. i was pouring tears the entire time. Finally, i knew it was time so i had my parents come back out and i pet zackie's head one last time, and sealed his casket. We put him in the ground and put dirt on him. Finally, i put a large rock for a tombstone, until i can get him a proper one. Anyway, that was my final goodbye to my best friend. I will love him and miss him forever. i hope that this gets easier over time. i have finally started eating again, at least. -Allan |

| Bless you, Allan, your wife and famiy. I thought today about you before I read your note tonight, and remembered when Sophie died, I put everything away. Her dishes, toys, leash, coat so I wouldn't have to look at them. But as the shock wore off, I returned her dishes to their place, toys in the corner and hung her coat back her hanger. Her coat still hangs on the rack, her leash is in my dresser and her toys sit in the corner of the laundry room. When it is time and you have grieved more, all of Zack's things can be moved to a special place so you can look at them from time to time. Such a painful time for you, Allan and keep writing all of your thoughts and feelings. You are safe here, no one will judge you. Time will ease the pain but I was broken hearted for weeks. So glad you will be able to go and visit Zack's special place of rest. Warmly, Deborah

| Dear Allen, I am so sorry for your loss. I thank you for sharing your grief with us and for sharing the last minutes you spent with your best friend and loved yorkie Zack. It is only proper to grieve and perfectly alright to be sad. I will be praying for you, your wife and family, so that the pain of lossing your best friend will pass very quickly. Let the memories of the happy years that your lovable Zack spent with you ease the pain. God Bless. Lita Zack is now truly a yorkie

| Allan, You and Zack have touched so many lifes here on YT and beyond, b/c I know that all of us are sharing your story with family and friends. I wish I could take your pain away, Zack wants your pain to go away too. He is with you everyday, listen and I am sure you'll be able to hear his breath on your neck, he's telling you that he is ok, he is telling you that this is not your fault, he is telling you that he loves you more than anything, he is telling you that he will NEVER leave your side, he is telling you to get some sleep and to eat, he telling you to please take care of yourself, he is telling you that you are the BEST Dad, he is telling you that he will be waiting for you and until that day he is playing with his Yorkie friends who have also crossed. ...Dear God, Please help Allan heal |

| TLC, that was one of the nicest messages i have ever read (although it made me break down yet again). In fact, everyone on Yorkietalk has been so kind, with such beautiful words for over the past days. This has been one of the hardest times of my life, but being able to post my story, and my ongoing feelings has made it a tiny bit easier. I still miss my Zack more than I thought possible, but knowing that so many people are thinking about him makes me feel good all over. I don't think I will ever get over my loss of Zack, but he knows that I love him and that I miss him more than anything in the world. Thanks to everyone (yet again), Allan |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm crying again too Allen... You have friends if you ever need to talk ....I've had you and little Zack on my mind all week since reading your post and am keeping you close to my heart....which is just breaking for you. He was a very lucky boy to have so much love in his life and I'm just so so sorry about what happened. Sending you another hug and please try to take care of yourself...I'm worried about you and will be praying one day soon you'll be able to smile again. |

| Allan, I was just telling you the truth. I lost a person so very close to me, and the only thing that keeps me to together is my 'talk' with him. If I listen closly I can hear him talking to me too, and we always end our conversations with: "I'll see you soon Babe" I am a strong believer in our souls living in eternity, and those who are close to us and those who have touched our lives here on earth will be with us in that eternity. You and Zack have a bond and a love that will never break, you may not have this time to spend together here on earth, but you WILL spend your ETERNITY together, that's a promise Try to think positive. Zack is not in any pain, he is free and he is playing with his new Yorkie friends, he is not alone, because the LOVE that you have for him crosses the boarder and wraps around him to protect him ALWAYS and FOREVER |

| I am so sorry to read this, it hurts my heart and I can't imagine how you feel. Only time heals all wounds but there is always sorrow when you think of what & how it happened. Remember that the good memories bring the joys back into your heart. It's always the "remember the times" Zack did this & that which makes the fond memories of Zack so heart fulfilling. Know that he has crossed the rainbow bridge playing amoungst other beloved pets. Know that he thinks about you and your family and knows that he was and is loved. Know that he will be waiting anxiously with the little tail wagging for you to come get him one day. God bless!
