Darlene, you need to grieve and your heart needs to heal. This will take time. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm sure all of YT too. I wish I could say something to make this easier for you, but I am at a loss for words. I know how very much you loved Raindrop and she loved you. Sending hugs to you.

Darlene, I feel your pain...Over my lifetime, I've had lots of wonderful fur babies; they were all a blessing...However, some, and it's usually one, is etched, deeper in your soul...My last best friend, before the Yorkies, an English Mastiff, was one of those pups...I ached for her, 'till I never thought I could get another pup...A year and a half, later, I got Apple...She didn't replace Pebbles, but she filled the hole in my heart...I don't mean, at all, that it's time for a new pup, but you will know, when the time is right...I am so sorry, that you are so heart-broken, and I will continue to pray for your heart to heal...it will, it just takes time...
Blessings, Maggie

Oh, I am just now seeing and reading your post. I am soo sorry about the loss of your little Raindrop. I know there are no words that can give you comfort right now.

In my belief system, you will see her again.

Rest in Peace little Rainbow and wishing peace to you too Mommy.

Darlene, you haven't pushed anyone away. We understand the grief you are going through and that is something that will take time. Please know that we know how hard it must be for you. You loved her better than anyone else could have loved her. She is safe now in God's hands and you are left to grieve her, but please remember that we are here to talk if you ever need us.

Just heard of your loss Darlene, and am so very sorry. Know that you gave Raindrop a lot of love and made her short life a happy one.

Just reading this thread and am sitting here crying my eyes out. I am so very sorry for you. My heart is broken for you. I could feel the love you had for her reading your posts. There is nothing to say to take away the pain except to know that we are grieving with you and understand and are here for you.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. RIP Raindrop.

Darlene I am so so sorry for your loss. I cried when I read your sad
post. Please believe (at least this is what I believe) that Raindrop
will be waiting for you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
I am praying for you. Raindrop loved you so much. You are such a Great
Mommy. RIP Baby Raindrop.

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and deep sympathy....

I am so sorry. I know that Raindrop felt the love that you had for her and it made her life so happy. Bless you for loving her so much. Hugs...

I'm still here
 

Oh where do I start. I am so very Thankful for all of you. I am starting to get better, missing Raindrop, but holding my own. One of my other dogs, Rosie, a yorkie had puppies July 2010. She had 5, all healthy. 3 went to homes right away. 1 went to my breeder, as I used her male. The last one was a little girl. When Raindrop passed away, I was hurting so bad, I gave her to the breeder. I told her she could sell her. I pushed family, friends, away. I love my other babies, and hugged them alot. It just didn't seem to fill the void in my heart. Raindrop was small and would sleep with me, sit on my lap while on the computer, and go for rides. Oh how she loved rides. Next thing you know, I found myself wanting a baby. I was wanting to hold a little one again. My breeder lady, is also a friend. I talked with her, and she said, come on over. I didn't sell your little girl. I knew you would want her. What a Blessing! I named this little sweetheart "Amazing Grace" as she is such a blessing. She's very tiny, and needs that "mothering" touch. She loves to ride like Raindrop, she sits on my lap, and sleeps with me every night. I am learning how to put bows in her hair, and she loves to dress up. Christmas was sad, but 2011 is starting off pretty good. I will have to post a picture of her. She is now 6 1/2 months old, and weighs a little over 3 lbs. She needed me, and I needed her. A match made in Heaven.
I cannot thank you all enough for just being here for me when I really needed someone that would understand. Love you all, Darlene and Gracie

Hi Darlene - Good to see you back and with good news about Gracie. I'm happy that Gracie is helping you to heal. Hope the new year will be a good one for you!! Valerie

Thanks Valerie. Gracie reminds me of Raindrop. Not in looks at all, but both of them are small and and in need of that motherly attention. Rosie is 6 lbs, and we can really play with her. Same with Candy (dachshund), Romeo(Yorkie/Poo) and Rocky (yorkie). He's 5 lbs. The littler ones need to be watched more, and protected. I have to watch that I don't step on her, etc. Someone asked me if I would breed her. :eek: I said, You have got to be kidding. I would never breed her. I did my Rosie once. That's enough for me.

Oh my. Now I have tears in my eyes. Thank You so much for the encouraging words. Everyone on here has been so nice. I think Gracie will help me alot. She has already, and I am sure she doesn't even know how much. Your story sounds very similar. Bless you, Darlene
