UPDATE - We picked up Yoyo on Friday. She is adorable and both my wife and I are in love with her. She is a total handful though and so much more work than Zack was! But, we are doing it together and she is truly wonderful. She just loves to play and has already learned her name. Also, she has learned how to zip up the stairs (not down though). We took her to the vet on Sunday who said that she was very healthy! We have been so busy with Yoyo that we have not had the time to even take any pictures yet! But, I will take and post some soon.

Despite the above, I still miss Zack so much. I tell Yoyo all about her big brother (whom she already outweighs by 10 pounds) and about how much he would have loved her. Despite his death, I will always love and miss my little Zackie.

Here are a few pictures of Yoyo. She is keeping us really busy, so I have not yet had a chance to download the pictures from our camera yet. But, here are a few that I took on my cell phone.

Oh, Allan, YoYo is precious and look at those baby teeth :D You will always remember Zackie and I also tell Charlie about his older sister, Sophie. Then, I pat Sophie's urn and tell her thank you for sending me Charlie so I wouldn't be lonely.

Warmly, Deborah

I must apologize - I thought I had sent my sympathies for the loss of little Zeke. I am so sorry. You went thru a horrible, heartwrenching experience. But, as one member stated, Zeke gave up his life so that others will be saved. As for Yoyo - adorable name - very fitting for a beautiful little girl. She will be such good therapy for you and your wife. While you have Yoyo to hold, hug and play with, Zeke's little spirit will always be fluttering around you, just over your shoulder, watching out for you. God Bless you all.

OMG how did I miss this ? She's beautiful Allan and I'm so happy for you and what a cute name you gave her - I know with your love for Zack she will be a special girl and have a great life with you - I'm really REALLY glad you have her and enjoy her as you did little Zack. BIG HUGS and congratulations on Yoyo !!

He was going to turn 2 on May 30. Zack was the best dog I could have imagined. He never barked; was trained on wee wee pads (and only had infrequent mistakes); he was the friendliest dog around - everyone would stop me and ask how he became so social (with people, dogs, cats...) I just said I had no idea - that was just Zack from the moment I got him. He was also so cute. Other Yorkie owners would stop me on the street and tell me how cute he was. (I have attached his most recent picture to this post). Best of all, Zack gave me unconditional love. No matter what, he was my best friend. I would be at work all day and when I came home, all Zackie would want to do was kiss me and play and just sit on my lap. He never got upset and just loved everyone and everyone loved him.

Last night, I had to go to work and Zack was watching tv with my wife. After watching tv, my wife brought Zack to the main level of our apartment to put him back in his pen to go to sleep. Unfortunately, Zack jumped down and ran outside through an open French door onto our small terrace. He kept going and fell around 40 feet. This took place at around 2:10 am as I was on the way home from work. My wife was frantic. I called the police and they came and helped us go through the neighbor's house to get to the backyard behind our apartment. (The people who live in our building wiht backyard access were not home). As soon as I saw little Zackie, I knew he had died. I climbed over the fence and picked up my little baby. I will avoid the gruesome details for you all. Anyway, I carried Zackie up to our apartment and put the mattress from his bed into a box and lay Zack on top of that. I alos put some of his favorite toys in there with him. He looked so peaceful, almost asleep that I just stared at him waiting for him to wake up.

Zack stayed on his mattress in the box in our room all night. I could not sleep at all. I have not been able to stop crying since this happened. Zack was my best friend who was always there for me no matter what. No matter how hard life became, he was there to cheer me up. I just had someone pick him up who will hold his body until I can bury him. I decided to bury Zackie in my parent's backyard (they loved him as well). That way I can visit him as often as I like. I have never lost a pet before. In fact, other than goldfish, Zack was my first pet of any kind. I am absolutely devastated. I know it has been less than 12 hours, but how long will it take for this feeling of loss and utter devastation to go away? This is absolutely killing me. I miss him so much already and can;t stop thinking about all the fun times we had and how much I will miss not having him in my life in the future.

Please please please tell me that this feeling of loss and sadness will go away. I miss my pal Zackie and always will.

Thanks,
Allan

What a horrible tragedy. I AM SO SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST.:(

Hi everyone. I thought it was about time for a quick update. First of all, despite Yoyo being a handful and a very good girl, I still miss Zack so much. The passage of time has obviously helped, but I still often think about him and get depressed that he is no longer with me. At times like that, I give Yoyo a big hug (and she starts licking my face like crazy). Anyway, Yoyo is getting bigger and bigger - almost by the day. She weighed about 18 pounds at her last appointment two weeks ago. She rarely barks, is very playful - she just loves to fetch tennis balls! - and is very loving. She lovesto sit on the couch with us and watch tv as well as running around the living room. We are crate training her and she likes her crate - she doesn't really go in it unless I tell her to (and coax her with a treat) but she does not mind being in it. (She never cries or barks when she is in it - she just lies down or plays.) Although she is a ton of fun, she is a lot of work! (Although I must say, either the work has dropped or we have just gotten better at it since it is much easier now than when we first got her.) Not much more to report. Like someone pointed out above, I regretted not taking enough pictures of Zackie, so I try to take more of Yoyo. Here are a few more of her!

So sorry to hear of your loss

Oh I am so sorry to hear of your loss...
When I lived in an apartment it had a white fenced in patio. Bailey would run out between the posts and I would have to jump the railing or run out the front door to catch her. I went to Home Depo and bought closet shelving (Get the deepest onw) Have it cut to size you need, and attach it with plastic zip ties. It is wire covered in vinyl and it worked great for me, and it didn't damage the apartments building and matched the white railings. Hope that is helpful to someone.
Again so sorry for your loss...

I am so sorry for your loss. I can not even begin to imagine your pain and loss. I am not a grief counselor but I will tell you I believe the usual steps of grieving will need to take place for you which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance . Allow yourself to grieve .
