I am shocked beyond belief. My throat is tight with pain and tears. I am so very sorry that this has happened.

Shellie, I've been following this thread reading along and so glad once Cassie started doing better and now to hear about Muffin. I'm in shock and so, so sorry.

I do hope you will keep in touch with us, let us know how Cassie and you are doing. My heart is breaking for you, my sympathy is yours.

Words cannot express my shock and sadness for you. I am so, so very sorry for you and Cassie. Losing Muffin is so unfair. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sending Hugz & Prayers to you & Cassie. I am so sorry for your loss of Muffin. R.I.P. Sweet Muffin:Pawprint::love:

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Thank you again, You are a blessing
 

Truly you are a blessing to me. I cannot believe how amazing all of you are and I just wanted to thank you for your kind words, prayers and beautiful beautiful, hearts. You will always be with me.

This update is to say that I have decided to re-home my precious Cassie. I don't feel it is safe for her here anymore, and I don't think I deserve to have a Yorkie in my house hold any longer. I think it is what is best for her. I have loved her at first sight for her whole life, and my heart will always love her. But I am a broken person. I am inconsolable, I am destroyed. I don't think Cassie will do well any more here in this environment. I want you to know how much I love you all. I wish I could have each of you near to me, so you would always be in my life. Thank you for being a part of our lives and for giving so much love and light on this earth. This earth is a better place because of all of you. Much love,
Shellie

Shellie, I am so sorry. It is a hard decision you are making but you know Cassie better than anyone...you fought so hard for her. While I think she needs you...and you need her, your love for her will help you selflessly choose the correct path. Praying for you to have peace in your heart and for Cassie to thrive.

Cassie may not make it without you though! I think maybe you are making this decision out of complete heartache. I wish you could tell us what happen to muffin and maybe we can help you through it. Best wishes. You and Cassie are still in my prayers.

:thumbup::thumbup:

I have followed this thread and have not commented. I have prayed for your babies and felt your frustration and your relief at times. I, too, was shocked when I read about Muffin but even more shocked to read about you rehoming Cassie.

I don't know you, but think I have read enough in your posts to see how much love you have for Cassie and the lengths that you have gone to in order to make sure she had everything she needed....much more than most of us. To hear you make the comment that you don't deserve a yorkie is not true. I certainly don't know all of the facts, but I'm very aware that accidents do and can happen, and that those accidents don't define the rest of our lives. Cassie depends on you. You depend on Cassie. You love each other and to give her up may not be the answer. If you are no longer able to care for her because of your health, that is understandable; but to give her up out of guilt or fear - those feelings will pass.

Please take this time of pain and hold Cassie close...use her to help you get over the loss of Muffin. She is missing Muffin, too. For you both to endure another loss right now may be totally unnecessay. You know all of the facts....but please, please, please take some time to think about this before making a decision about precious Cassie. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.....

Lolasmom...I think you speak for all of us here...who are so desperately trying to find the right words...Shellie, please understand we all care about Cassie and You...we all mourn your loss, we really do....

I've been praying for Cassie and you this entire time. I'm not sure what accident happened to tragically take your Muffin away, but you must breathe and take it second by second if you have to. There are so very many of us who have been where you are at right now in terms of unconsolable grief. You have to be the strong Mom that you have been over these last weeks. You have to allow yourself to be numb and sad and at the point that you just don't even want time to continue. THAT IS NORMAL, Shellie. It is!

But YOU are Cassie's Mom. You have fought for Cassie's life. YOU have done things above and beyond what most of us Yorkie Moms would do (or know to do). YOU are probably more deserving to be a Yorkie Mom than most all of us here on this forum.

I am deeply sorry for this tragic turn of events. And trust me, I've cried several times reading this and your other thread about Muffin. But, sweetie, you are stronger than you think you are. Go back..take a minute during this time and go back to the start of this thread. Read it. Read every post and update from YOU. Pretend that your posts and updates are from someone else...not yourself. What is your honest thought about this person who took care of and nursed Cassie? She's pretty darn special. You are special. Cassie is a miracle right now and that is because of YOU. Muffin's accident was an accident. I have no idea what it was but I can tell it is eating you up...not just her death but how it happened. You need to talk to someone, Shellie. It doesn't have to be publically, but privately to just one person. You need to release it out of you or it will eat you up and there will never be any healing or moving forward.

And, Shellie, I promise you this. Muffin loved you. She knew you loved her. She obviously loved Cassie. Do you think Muffin would want you two to be separated based on her no longer being her physically? Muffin will see you all again. I truly and completely believe that. Right now...hold onto her love and respect her love enough to help her Mom and her sister move forward. Even if that moving forward is literally...one second at a time.

You are stronger than you think you are. You can do this. Breathe. We love you and we are here for you and Cassie.

Read my post on RIP "What Happened"-Then you will know!
 

Dearest Terri,
Your heart and love and soul are shining through. I love you with all my heart for your incredibly beautiful heart and soul. Read my post in the RIP thread.

Love,
Shellie

Wise people - people who have been through Hell and back say don't ever make big decisions during times of grief and tragedy. Don't make the rehoming decision now - you will live to regret making decisions when you are hurting and not thinking clearly. Give it a few days. Cassie will be fine there - just no big decisions to affect her and your life right now, okay?

I totally agree...this is not the time to make a decision. Shellie, I sent you a PM.

Please give some thought to Cassie, too. She is sad and worried also.
We hold you and her in our prayers.

Praying very hard for Cassie right now...I hope you make the right decision, you know what that is, deep down inside you know. Keep Cassie, giving her up now solves nothing, it will not make things better. Keep doing what you do best, taking care of Cassie and somehow, I just know it, she in turn will take care of you.

Great advice from a very smart gal.

Thinking of you, and sending good thoughts. :love:

Checking in on you and Cassie, Shellie. I hope today is a bit better for you.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I am having Cassie stay with a trusted person from the ER. I am not making any decisions, we will take it one day at a time. I cannot care for her well at this time. I am too impaired. She will get wonderful care where she is going. In the meantime my father who has AFIB had irregular heartbeats last night, we just got a call from the cardiologist's office. So I cannot care for her in the manner she deserves at this time. My heart is heavy. I love her so. She is watching me silently as I gather up her things. But I feel as if I am being torn into a million pieces. Please pray for me.
Shellie

You are in my prayers! (((HUGS)))

Please know that many of us are thinking of and praying for you. My heart feels heavy and my eyes are tearing up just thinking of your pain. I am praying for your Dad as well as I know this has to be hard on him too.

You've had one of the terrible shocks and huge, knock-out punches life doles out to us all in some form or other but yours is freshly raw, all-consuming and you bitterly hate what's it's done to your poor baby, your world - the unfairness is so ugly, too oppressive. I know we all totally understand where you are right now and I and all of us that do are praying for you and Dad and Cassie. Rest and baby steps, deal with nothing you can put off, TLC yourself for a while. Take the time you need.

Shellie I am glad you are not making any quick decisions and that you have found a safe place for Cassie to stay for a while. by ER do you mean someone from the ER vet? In a week or so you will still be sad but recovering from the shock, at that time you will be able to make better decisions. In the meantime you can visit Cassie which would be good for you both. hugs and prayers Donna

Prayers are still going to precious Cassie who bravely fought so hard to survive, thanks to your loving care Shellie. I hope your Dad is ok as well, and that someone is also taking care of Shellie. Who would that be? It all falls on you Shellie, so do take care of yourself too.

Hugs.

Shellie my heart goes out to you ,your Dad, and Cassie. Sending prayers for your Dad's health and recovery. I know he must be devastated as well. God bless you and send you all healing light to shine into the dark place your hearts are in now. I am glad you have found a temporary place for Cassie as you deal with your fathers health and the overwhelming stress you are under at this time.

omg I will pray!! for ur baby SHe cannot die!!

I understand your reasons, believe me I do. Take some time to take care of yourself so you can be there for both your dad and Cassie. I know your heart is in the right place...but you are unable to mentally and emotionally handle things right now, I get that. Remember baby steps is all it takes, one day at a time, one step at a time. We collectively, will be here for you, always. Take care my friend...I'm here for you.

how much do they need to weigh to breed and how old should they be??
