My world has turned upside down
 

and I just dont know what im going to do. Im so very sad, depressed, missing my Minnie and I just cant stop thinking about her. I have stopped trembling. but nothing will ever be the same.
Mickey had a really rough time last night, it was so sad.
Sence Minnie died hes been really clingy to my husband. but still running over to me to give me lots of kisses.But hes been laying and looking out the front window alot. I no longer have Yappy Yorkies, I now see that Minnie was my Yappy one and Mickey just followed in.
well Last night I decided to give mickey his bath. way over due I might say. and its been 9 days sence we lost Minnie. well Not thinking . after bath time that is Mic and Mins fav time, Mickey would have his bath first and wait for minnies to be done then the chase was on. I would always say get him Minnie and they would run her chasing him an dwhen she caught him they would wrastle all over the floor. well once Mickeys bath was done, he took off, looking back and then he would run again. then he would just sit there looking at me.
he then ran room to room , I know he was looking for Minnie.
he looked so confused and so sad. I was sitting down on the chair and he stood up to look in my lap. then would just stare at me. I trie dto comfort him, but he would run away. He then looked over the whole house even looking under the stove, got in the toy box and dug through all the toys. I think he was looking for Minnies ball.well I know he was, under the stove is where Minnies ball always ended up. later that night I told Mickey come on its bed time, we both laid down. him in his reg spot tucked in behind the folds of my knees. Then all of a sudden he jumped up and looke dover my leg to where Minnie always had laid with me. he did this a few times before finaly settling down for the night. It was like for some reason it all hit him and he knew he is now all alone.and It just broke my heart to see him like this. We were suppose to go out to a Family dinner today, But I cant, I dont want to leave him like that.

awww i'm so sorry your having to go through this. i know the pain must be unbearable at time.:( i wish i had some words that would help you feel better besides just trying to love on Mickey.

I hope you feel better and sending lots of prayers your way.:hands:

:hug:sending a hug your way to try to help you feel better.:)

wow... my heart is breaking for both you and Mickey. He must feel so lost. Was he able to see her before or after she passed away? I've read that dogs benefit from seeing either a person or animal after they have died to help them register what has happened. If he wasn't able to do that you should try researching animal grief online and see what you can do to help his transition. I think it is really important that you not leave him for any extended period if you can help it. It might cause more anxiety than he is going through. Maybe when the time is right for you both you can add another puppy into the house, he seems to be a dog that thrives from other dog company. I am thinking and praying for you both. I hope this time of grief can transition into a time of peace and happy memories.

My heart goes out to you...i am so sorry that you are in such pain in your heart. It is amazing how our pets become such an important part of our lives...I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom that would comfort you, but all i can say is that in time I know you will find peace in your heart and will have only the wonderful memories of Minnie to comfort you. I will keep you in my prayers for God to heal your broken heart...and Mickies too! God Bless!:)

It just breaks my heart, Please give Mickey a hug from us.

My heart aches for your family. Hopefully time will ease some of your pain. It's so hard to lose someone that we loved very much. Please know that we're all thinking of you and our hearts are with you.

Yes he was right there when she died and we let him sniff on her. and again later before we buried her, he had sniffed her and ran shaking and hiding under my desk.

awwww, i'm so sorry. that just breaks my heart. I can't imagine how helpless you feel. I know time will heal some of the hurt and loneliness he is feeling, and you as well....but just the same, minnie will always be a big part of your memory bank and a very large part of your heart. i will keep you both in my prayers. I haven't been around much, so I don't know what happened with your baby...but I can sense the pain...and I will pray for you and your family!!!!

I'm so sorry.

that's really great actually. I think it will really really help him as opposed to you taking her to the vet and not bringing her back- he gets that she has died and he is just showing you that he misses her.. which is of course normal. You helped him a lot by letting her see her after she passed away.

Thoughts & hugs to you & Mickey......

Oh girl, I am so sorry, is so hard when you loose a beloved pet, but when the time is right for you another one will come to keep you, Little Minnie will live in your heart for ever.. but is so much love in our hearts and another baby will benefit and help you cope..
hugs,

I'm so sorry... :(

Well I was supose to be getting another female from the Durrer line, but I had phoned and told them I just cant.

It's good that you recognize that you are not ready for a puppy- sometimes people jump into that hoping it will heal their hearts and never end up dealing with the grief. The day will come when you feel 100% ready and then it will be the perfect time.

How is Mickey doing tonight?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray that the two of you will pull together to get through this grieving period.

How sad for Mickey and all of you to have to go thru such a terrible time after losing a precious family member. I'm truly so very, very sorry.

Hes better today then he was last night. hes not looking for her, but hes just laying on the couch watching everyone, once in awhile he will go look out the window . hes still eating good, Im so thankful for that. but he keeps looking for her ball and we let the ball go with Minnie. Im going to have to find him one that was just like that one, I think it was called a moutain ball, it was pink easy for them to grip. V had sent it to Minnie for Christmas 2 years ago. and Minnie has never been with out it. She loved that ball. ( Thanks V for getting it for her)

I'm so sorry :( Your post just had me in tears. I just can't imagine. They say time heals but still...it hurts. I hope you and he heal and you will be in my thoughts. Huggs.

My heart is seriously breaking for Mickey. For you too, but for Mickey because he sounds so lost and just doesn't understand. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this, I can't even imagine the grief your family is feeling. I pray that you and Mickey's heart begins healing soon, but never forget the precious memories of Minnie that will always be in your heart.

OHMYGOSH. I just found that ball on line, it was the first site I came to.
its was called a JW Tanzanian Mountain Balls
Im going to get one for Mickey, maybe the green one.
heres where I found it at.
Balls for Dogs and Puppies from Little River Pet Shop

I'm very sorry. :(

Your post was so hard to read, I weep just trying to get through it.....I feel so sad for Mickey....hoping he understands.....hoping he will cope.....hoping he will adjust.......that poor baby.....:cry:..


When this happened to us I was just so consumed with regrets and I couldn't stop "why-ing?" and "what if-ing?" things over and over again.....The sadness was just soooo deep, and it was just so hard to make it through a day.....Part of me wanted to hang on so desperately to that pain and sadness because that was all I had left, and to let go of that feeling meant my Joey was really gone......I don't wish this on anyone...You and Mickey will be in my thoughts and well wishes ......:hands:

Yes I have been doing alot of the whys and what ifs too. She had always been such a healthy girl. it just came on that fast. I also question why the Hospital didnt keep her and try. I was told because they knew it would be her last night and she would grieve and be gone with in hours if I left her. and I guess theres just nothing they could do for a brain tumor. or could they? or was it just to late.

I am so sorry for the loss of yr precious Minnie. She was Beautiful! Yr story though so sad, was just so sweet!! Mickey's devotion & Love shows through!! They truly are little angels! HUGS to you & Mickey!!:aimeeyork You were so Loved sweet angel Minnie!!:littleang

what a great toy- I am sure it will really lift his spirits- even for a little bit- if a new toys came in the mail just for him- and one that reminds him of Minnie!

I am so sorry for what you are going through. Every post about Minnie makes my heart just ache for you.:( Something about Minnie\'s sweet little face reminds me so much of my Sugar that reading about her just brings tears to my eyes. You have been in my thoughts- I\'m sending hugs and Sugar sends kisses to Mickey.

That is so sad. There is just no way to explain to him. I know it breaks your heart. I\'m so sorry.

Your post has me in tears. I am so very sorry for your loss. I can relate to your pain and grieving, and to Mickeys. It is hard to watch them go through this. I have a little Maltese that was attached at the hip to my oldest who went to the bridge on Jan 2nd. They were a pair their entire lives, and she wouldn\'t eat for the first 3 days after he was gone. It was hard to deal with my own grief and help her at the same time, but I focused on giving her a lot of attention and finally was able to get her to start eating again. She still looks for him, but is not as sad as she was. Even with the younger dogs here, she didn\'t find any solace with them, as her and Bailey were a team. She is coming around now though.
I just wanted to offer some words of hope for you. Mickey will just need time to go through the grieving process too, just like we do.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts, Rest In Peace, sweet Minnie
