| I need your advice....PLEASE Ok, You guys may all think I've lost it, but most of you know about what happened to Maddie and that I'm getting a new puppy Macy in a few months.... Well I just can't bare the thought of Macy wearing Maddie's clothes. Don't ask me why...I just can't. The whole time she would be wearing Maddie's clothes, instead of thinking how cute she is in them, I'd be thinking that was Maddie's and it will make me sad. Is this stupid of me? Do I pack all of Maddi'es clothes up...Never to be used or do I keep a few for memory and sell them to another furbaby that I don't see everday? Would that be bad of me to sell them to get new clothes for Macy? I have so many and to pack them up would be such as waste, and to never let Macy wear them is a waste to, and then I'd feel bad to sell them....UGGGG I don't know...Please give me your honest advice. THANKS!! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | IF it were me......I'd consider it a tribute to Maddie and keep the clothes. You have so many cute ones and your new baby will never ever replace Maddie...She'll be cute in her OWN way wearing them |

| Denise, I would have to agree with Villette. Keep the clothes for Macy. I think it would be so much easier to see Maddie's little sister wearing the clothes than seeing them on someone's else's Yorkie. What a great tribute to Maddie, having Macy wearing her big sister's clothes.

| Another thought... Do you know of someone who would love to have clothes for their yorkie, but really can't afford them? If so and they fit, maybe you can send them to his/her furbaby! I am sure they would appreciate it! Keep a few favs for your new girl and send the others to a good home! Surely someone on YT knows someone personally who would love the clothes, but is struggling financially. Good luck in whatever you decide!

| Denise, you don't have to do anything right now. If it were me I would go through Maggie's clothes, toys, etc. and pick out the one that harbor the happiest memories and carefully and lovingly pack them away forever. Then I would box up the rest of her things and just set them aside. You don't have to do anything right now. In fact, you should probably wait until you are past the initial grieving phase and are in the healing phase. Then you will be able to make a clearer decision about what you want to do. You could always donate some of her things to a dogsoul in need or sell a few of the items and use that money to plant a tree/memory garden in her honor. Hugs to you, my YT sister :ghugs:e that your new Macy will help to bring some healing to the hole in your heart. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | HI, I know exactly how you feel I think maybe you could wait just a bit, and when you have your new girl....try it out. If it too hard to see her in Maddies clothes, then there is your answer. Maybe just give it some time. You may not know how it makes you feel until you actually see her in them. It may be too hard, or it may bring you happiness. Whichever you decide....I wish you happieness!!! Quote:

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | Denise, I know exactly how you feel! When I lost Kloey, I felt the same way. I kept a few things that meant a lot to me and I sold the rest. I sold them to some people on here who I know and trust and it made me feel good to know that Kloey's items was going to someone who knew how much I loved Kloey. Don't feel bad if you part with some of her items, just think of it as spreading some love from Maddie. You can never replace her, but she will always remain with you in your heart. Macy is not Maddie, she will probably have a completly different personality. Putting Maddies clothes on her will just make you think of Maddie. You will know what the right thing is to do. HUGS! |

| Aww, Denise, I am so sorry that you are having a tough day. Hugs to you! You are the only one who can decide what's right for you. I think it would be a nice tribute to little Maddie for Macy to wear her clothes, but donating them isn't a bad idea either. I know, I'm no help! Hope your day gets better!

| Denise, I know it is hard to make that decision. You need time, just put them aside and wait. I had my 17 1/2 year old Bichon put to sleep 4 years ago and put his collar and tags aside in a drawer. Since then Bubba and Sissy have come into our lives. This summer I came across his collar and tags again and felt I cound finally bring myself to dispose of them. A few weeks ago I came across an article about mixing cement and making personalized stepping stones for the garden. It talk about putting your pets footprints etc. in the cement and now I feel bad that I don't have his tags-I could have made a nice stone for my garden. So please think it over before you do anything.

| Denise, I think it would be so nice for little Macy to wear her big sisters clothes too. BUT the other thing I was thinking is that you really do not have to make this decision now. Why don't you just think about it for a little while and see how you feel once you get little Macy there at your home. No reason to rush into a decision that is too emotional still. You know? Hang in there girl - there will be bad days and good days but you know we are all here for you and love you!
