Dave - I'm so sorry for your loss of little Cody....I get so sad reading this section but know how much it hurts to lose one of our family.

Cody was a little cutie and you loved him enough to free him........I know that doesn't make it easier

but it sounds like you gave him the best quality of life possible...my heart goes out to you

Rest in Peace little Cody.....

Dave,
One of the hardest things to accept is the loss of a furry little family member thru any situation. To have to make that final decision is heart wrenching. I have been there and to this day I keep asking myself "What if I had waited a little longer?". Only God knows that answer so we have to believe in our hearts that we did what was best for the furbaby that wiggled its way so deep into our lives, Most members here have suffered thru the loss of one or more of their furbabies and will be crying with you as they read your post. That's the best part of YT - it is a family where you can come and know that everyone understands your feelings and will be there for you. Cody was a handsome little guy with a beautiful expression on his little face and he will be watching over you from his new perch over the Rainbow Bridge with the breezes blowing thru his tiny little wings and remembering the wonderful, long life he had with you until you two are reunited again.
I am so sorry for your loss, Dave. God Bless.

I'm so sorry

A lot of us here know your pain all too well

LilLexieLu · 07-04-2007, 06:07 AM

Dave, I am so sorry for your loss. The decision you made yesterday was for the best, though I know it doesn't feel like it. I was faced with the same decision last year. Not with a yorkie, but a collie. She was in end stage renal failure and could hardly function at all and I still felt guilty. I still cry for my Cheyenne sometimes. I understand. Try to remember the good times and funny memories. He still loves you and as someone else said, I'm sure he would thank you if he were able.

I am soo sorry for your loss, but sounds like you did the right thing ! RIP little Cody !

babi1542 · 07-04-2007, 07:22 AM

Dave I am so sorry to hear about your loss, but deep in your heart you know you did the right thing, you would never want anyone you love to suffer.For now just cherish all those good times you had, that are unforgettable.

Dave,

I am really sorry to read about Cody's passing. I know the pain you feel all too well. My Yorkie Zack died about 2 months ago and he was not even 2 years old. (I posted the story of Zackie's death in this forum.) The pain was and is tremendous. When Zackie first died, I cried so much. Like you, I have never really cried, but with this, I couldn't stop. Although I still miss Zack like crazy, it does get a little bit easier. Feel free to PM me if you would like to chat.

Putting our furbabies to sleep is never an easy thing to do. Hugs to you for having the strength to end your Cody's pain.

He was obviously much loved. Keep the happy memories close to your heart. Your pain will ease in time.

Cody acted like a 3 year old child for most of his life. He was alot of fun and my therapy buddy. I never cryed when my 90+ year old grandparents passed away, but did celebrate there long lives. But I cry for my Cody.

I have been you were at Dave with two sweet dogs. One was only 3 when he was pts . Ashki was really sick. and Tokayla was 9 and had addisons she was also really sick. I was there in the room as the vet did the deed. it was really hard but I know in my heart that they are safe and happy now and I will see them again. I hope you can find comfort soon.
I will keep Prayers of healing for you.

Thanks guys. I've been trained for so many years to go open the door to let Cody outside every three hours, and give him his pill every morning, and make sure he has food and water and something from my plate, or if I go somewhere to help him into the car, then all of a sudden, nothing. What an empty feeling. My "special needs" child is gone. How could something that only weighed 6 lbs take so much of your heart with him?

I am reading all the kind words that everyone has said, and I thank you all so much. Red98vett, I like the edit idea for my picture. I need to get that up on the wall ASAP.

dave54 · 07-04-2007, 10:09 AM

Red98vett, I can't find any fonts that look like yours. What font or program did you use?

Hi Dave ..Little Cody's picture was done in 2 programs - 1st Photoshop for the text - (you can do text in most editing programs) then Photo Frame Show for the frame - (you can try for free for 15 days) http://www.frameshow.com/download.htm

The Font is Commercialscript3 and another I really like is EdwardianScript ...if you need any help with something just ask OK ? and again - I'm so sorry for your loss

We are so sorry for you loss, you will be in our prayers.

Catrina · 07-04-2007, 01:59 PM

Oh my.. I'm so sorry! How incredibly hard for you.. Hugs to you from me and Princess

Ozzie'sperson · 07-04-2007, 03:00 PM

Oh, Dave -- SO sorry for your loss. I, too, have walked in your shoes and had to make that heart-breaking decision. You are in good company here as so many others know exactly what you're saying.

But, we have to do what's best for them, not for us. I'm sure your little Cody is meeting so many other Yorkies like my Scruffy, whom I lost at 11.5 nearly a decade ago. Also like you, I was as tortured by the emptiness of the house as I was by the experience that made it that way. I swore I would never get another dog.

But a week later, there I was "looking" at puppies. I came home with the bestest buddy in the whole world.

(Ozzie was just 10 last month.) Time will help to ease the pain, but it's the love of another that will help heal the hole in your heart.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.
