| Hello. I'm not sure if this post will work as I am on my blackberry. Anyway, quick update - we went on a short trip to get away from everything. We are having fun (although the hotel lost my luggage - it was stolen - and now I have to buy all new stuff). Anyway, I still miss my doggie. My mom, though, keeps an eye on him and says that everything is fine with his grave. (That is the least that I can do for him.). It has gotten a little bit better in that I can think about my little Zackie and usually not cry. (I do still cry at times though). That's all for now. Thanks again to everyone for all the good wishes. Zack would be happy to know how supportive Yorkie owners all are. -Allan |

| Dear Allen. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Zackie. Please know that his death probably saved hundreds of little yorkies! After I first read about Zackie, I did some research and put some netting up on my deck between the lower railing and the floor boards, so my Gracie will not meet the same fate. Maybe that was Zackie's purpose on this earth? Please consider, when you are ready, loving again. You can never replace Zackie, but I am sure there is a bit of room in your heart for another. It might also help you to visit rainbowsbridge.com. There is a great support group there. You don't have to buy anything. If you want, you can create a virtual memorial for your Zackie. Proceeds go to animal shelters. Please take care, and thank you for sharing the loss of your Zackie with us.

| Oh My...I just read this thread and I am so so sorry for your loss of little Zach. This has to be such a deep hurt. I am so glad you and your wife were able to get away and hope this hasn't come between you two. Each day will get a little better and you will always hold a special spot in your heart for Zach that nothing can ever fill but his special memories. You sound like such a compassionate and caring person that has so much love to give. Peace and acceptance will come, I promise. I hope you can share your love someday with another furbaby. There is one waiting out there that needs you and would be so lucky and blessed to share his life with you...Until then..time..time for you, so you can heal...

| Gracie2006, I felt good all over when I read your post. Knowing that Zackie's death (although totally senseless and avoidable) will save other Yorkie's lives makes me feel a lot better. The fact that Zack did not die in vail eases the pain of losing him (if only a little). We are still away, but I guess posting via my Blackberry works. Anyway, everyone pls pls pls make sure that your terraces/balconies/decks are Yorkie-proof. Even if your doggie never goes out there, pls puppy-proof it. Zack NEVER ran outside before. But, doing it once was one time too many. Pls make sure that my Zackie didn't die for nothing. -Allan |

| Alan we are also planning on putting netting up around the base of our deck to prevent Grayson and Abby from falling, I had never thought of it before until I read about Zackie, I hope your days are getting better. I am sorry for your loss.

| Thanks to everyone for being concerned about how I am doing. Getting away was nice, although it had its mishaps. First, the hotel LOST my bag (which had EVERYTHING I brought with me). The shuttle driver picked us up at the airport and brought us to the hotel and said "go in and check in and we will take care of your bags." After taking 40 minutes to check in (which no one has yet explained to us why it took so long), we went with the porter to get our bags. My wife's was sitting on the curb, but mine was gone. (Someone stole it in the interim.) The hotel manager admitted that it was their negligence. In the end, it all worked out as they reimbursed us for the value of what was stolen; paid for us to buy some new clothing for me for the time at the hotel; and gave us two nights free. All in all, they did the right thing, but the whole episode was a fiasco. Then, the flight home was a nightmare.... First, a two hour delay; then a 3 hour delay; then they cancelled the flight; then, finally, they said they located a new crew and plane, and we ended up getting home around 3 am. Although we had a really nice, relaxing time (other than the above), I did think about Zack. Whenever I went away in the past, the first thing I did when I got home was run upstairs to scoop him up and play with him. (He was always so excited to see me.) So, knowing that I was coming home to an empty house made me sad. And, I thought of Zack often during the quiet times lying out on the beach. But, things are getting a little easier, in that I don't cry as often. And, knowing that my mom checks on Zackie's grave at least once every other day, makes me feel a little better. Once last thing - I had saved the picture of Zack that I had attached in my original post as my cell phone wallpaper. (I had done that even before Zackie died.) I got really upset yesterday, so I opened my phone and talked (and cried) to the picutre of Zack and it made me feel like he was almost there listening to me, like he used to do in the past. That is probably the hardest part for me - whenever I was upset about anything, I would always take Zack for long walk, and I would talk to him and he would inevitably cheer me up. Again, thanks to every one for caring and listening. -Allan |

| Hi Allan I watch for your thread and know this is a difficult journey. This will take time to come to terms with Zackie not being in your life. However, he really is with you everyday, Allan. I also have Sophie's picture on my phone and it gives me comfort. Just think, Zackie was loved so very much during his brief lifetime, and he is looking down saying "thank you, Daddy" for loving me and giving me such a wonderful home. Take care and keep writing. Warmly, Deborah

| Quick update - not much to report. I still sorely miss Zack. My mom has been repeatedly checking on his grave and tells me that it is fine. I still have not purchased a tomb stone for Zackie, because I have not yet decided what it should say. All I do know is that I still miss him and thinking about him makes me sad. It is still really hard. That is it for now.... -Allan |
