What a tragic loss!! I'm so sorry.....

I know how you feel because I didn't see my Chloe before they put her down... I wish I did... so she'll know that I was there for her. I was scared....

. I still feel bad about it.... I miss her.... DUKE REST IN PEACE!!!!!!

Well three weeks have gone by.
I wish the pain would go away.
I find myself sheding tears still.
Gizmo helps to get through my days, but my heart still belongs to Duke right now.
Some people don't understand why I still cry. I loved him so much.
They tell me "well you have another to replace him"
They don't understand that you can never replace your love, you can only give it to another.
I know you all here will understand.

There is never a replacement for the lost love of a cherished pet...It takes so much time to heal a broken heart, and some people do not truly understand the emptiness felt after losing a beloved pet...family member. Hugs to you, remember Duke and the happy times that you shared...and cry, it's okay to cry. But also, Duke would want nothing more than for you to be happy, so it's also okay to smile. He's at peace, and will live forever in your heart and memories.

Hi TinyBit. If people haven't had a pet that they loved, they just don't get the loss of one. Losing Duke is not lessened by your getting Gizmo! How could it? My loss of Zack upsets me each and every day and I still miss him dearly, despite his death being exactly 2 months ago. I don't think it will ever end. Like you, I am getting a new puppy (in a few weeks). But even that will never heal the pain I feel about Zack or make me miss him any less.

Feel better....

Your feelings of loss are part of the healing process. I dearly loved my Sophie for 13 years, and letting her go was one of the most painful decisions that I had to make in my life. She was my first Yorkie and didn't think I could love another pup like her. Last week, when Charlie was in the hospital and in surgery longer than expected, I realized the love that I have for him is of the same strength as Sophie.

My life experience with her was longer, but there is something about a Yorkie, the familiar look, sigh before they go to sleep that keeps their memory alive. He didn't replace Sophie but added another dimension to Yorkie love.

The tears will settle in and never really go away. I kiss her little urn, touch her clay paw print and talk to her picture about sweet Charlie. You know, I feel she sent him to me to make sure that I wasn't alone; she was my constant since she was 16 weeks old.

Take good care and Duke is always with you. Warmly, Deborah

Today would have been Duke's birthday.
Oh what plans I had.
I still cry so often for him. I miss him so much.

DUKE, I hope that you have a happy day on your side of the Rainbow Bridge, Please know that mamma misses you so much.
I will love you best...Always...My heart breaks when ever I think of you.
You were with me such a short time, but made such a difference in my life.
RIP, Duke

SophieRose · 07-25-2007, 07:38 PM

Happy Birthday, sweet Duke. Have you found Sophie yet?

babi1542 · 07-25-2007, 07:50 PM

Oh happy birthday! Hope that with each passing day God gives you the strength to have positive thoughts about him.

Gingergirlsmom · 07-25-2007, 07:55 PM

Happy Birthday to your sweet boy!!!!

My heart goes out to you.

wemple2 · 07-25-2007, 08:03 PM

I'm sure he's missing you just as much as you're missing him. Memories are what will keep him close in your heart and soul...Hope your birthday is a happy one Duke...run and play with all the others, I'm sure my Spencer has taken him under his little angel wing...he will take care of your baby from now on...don't you worry, just smile a little smile...he knows you'll always love him dearly.

TinyBit · 08-21-2007, 02:11 AM

Two months have gone by since I lost Duke. In some ways it seems longer than that since I held him. In others in seems only yesterday. I still cry at times, but I can now remember him with laughter also. His puppies are due this week. (Thursday), but I'm not sure if the mother can wait that long. Wouldn't it be strange if they came today?

Duke, Momma loves you, more than you'll ever know. and my heart still breaks when I think of you. Thank you Duke for teaching me to love with all my heart. Gizmo and Lacie try to fill the void, but they will never replace you. I loved you first and will always love you most. Until we meet again.

With love,
