Over 5 pounds and 2 years old... and if they've never been bred by 4 years of age, it becomes more risky as they get older.

Oh Shellie! I'm so very sorry for all that's happening in your life. I apologize for not being here as often as I would like, but know that you and your Dad and the pups have been constantly in my thoughts and prayers, and will continue to be. It's all in God's Hands.... it always has been and it always will be. He has a Plan for us all, whether good or not so good.... keep Him in your heart and He will carry you through... sending you a major Hug, Kathy

Shellie, I wanted to let you know I am keeping you, your Dad and Cassie in my prayers. I hope you can feel all of our hugs and love surrounding you. Please know we are all carrying you in our hearts.

Roccosmommy · 10-02-2013, 09:36 AM

I have no words that have not already been said. Just letting you know that my heart is breaking for you and all that is testing you right now. Praying for you and Cassie and your dad. God bless.

Prayers are ongoing for you, Shellie. I hope you are resting some. It'll get a little tougher for a bit as the shock wears off and nothing but reality left so kind of steel yourself for that part. But that's how it goes for a while and it's tough slogging through that. After a time, how you are going to work through this will begin to take shape and you take the first steps back. For now, rest, watch good movies, listen to music and read, try to find some peace.

Precious ones,

I want you to know I read every word of every post, and it is giving me strength and energy to actually get out of bed in the morning. Thank you all for your love and your compassion. What is it about Yorkie Talkers that makes them so special? I ask myself that question a million times a day. It's really amazing-I just don't know what to make of it.

So now I am making bargains with God. Yes, I know it is ridiculous. I'm at the if only stage. If only I could hold her once more, if only I could rub her belly or feel her soft thick fur, if only I could nibble her ears, or give her angel wing kisses, if only I could take her out for a walk once more, if only I could feed her treats once more, if only I could play "catch the Muffin" once more, if only I could take her for a ride once more, or snuggle with her in bed once more, dress her in her spiffy clothes once more. If only..........................

Shellie,
Hold onto those moments that you did share with her and that made you smile. I know it hurts so so terribly bad, but hold onto those. You had those moments. They happened. Yes, taken away too soon, but they happened. You and Muffin were so blessed to have each other. That is love. It hurts so so painfully when we lose a loved one, but wow...the time we had with them was worth the pain.

Do you have pics and videos of her that you can look at that will make you remember a silly thing she did? Something that made you giggle or laugh? If so, look at them. I can promise these things will make you cry but you will also be surprised at how those things that made you laugh can still make you giggle and smile for a split second. Taking things moment by moment and second by second...that's what you are doing. So grab onto any second of a smile that you can, ok?

Also, you are right about Yorkie Talkers. I can tell you what it is. I came to the realization last night and told a few...we all truly DO love each other. It's a given that we all love the pups. That's what we are here for. But wow...we are a family and we love each other. People we've never even met in person. It's an amazing thing and I consider it a gift God has touched us all with.

You are in my prayers all day, everyday. I want you to know that. I hope you feel it.

celstu1 · 10-02-2013, 11:43 AM

Oh yes. After my Stuart passed and after the initial shock, I was just so devastated... but we took video of him drying off after his first bath with us. We thought it was so funny how he ran around, dragging himself on everything. My (now ex) fiance & I were laughing so hard when he was doing that. I watched those videos for a long time afterwards, they made me smile a little bit.

wemple2 · 10-02-2013, 05:00 PM

Still in my heart, thoughts and prayers...

jeane · 10-02-2013, 05:05 PM

still praying for you

pink66 · 10-02-2013, 05:34 PM

Oh Shellie, do you realize how many lives you, Cassie, and Muffin have touched? I feel like you are a much loved family member. It will get better. Prayers and love from people you have never met surround you. Hang in there.

I am so sorry for your loss! I think we all go through the same emotions when we lose one of our babies. "IF only...", "just once more...", "I wish I would have...", etc. I had 11 years with my first yorkie and whether it was 11 years or 100 years, it would have never been enough. We love them fiercely and deeply. You will remember the good and the bad, sometimes you will laugh and sometimes you will cry. All I can say is we are blessed to have them in our lives, for however long it is.

Muffin

Coal black eyes
And tiny paws
Sits and stays, to my applause
Button nose
And eager gaze
Chasing rainbows as she plays

Joyful Spirit
Shining light
You were snuffed out in a minute
And your soul took flight

Giant heart
So filled with love
Taught so many lessons
With a velvet glove

Lived for kisses, treats galore
Loved to wander and explore
Lived for hugs and filled with mirth
Loved to play and dig the earth

Velvet fur and tiny ears
Doomed to live without you
And filled with tears

Empty space within my soul
Broken heart
And gaping hole

I will miss you
For my life
Piercing my forever
Like a sharp edged knife

kjc · 10-02-2013, 07:29 PM

Wow! Great tribute to Muffin... wonderful poem.... made me cry all over again.
