OMG I was not expecting to read your baby did not make it, my heart is bleeding for you, no words can express how very sorry I am for the loss of your sweet little girl. Praying for you to stay strong through this painful time (((HUGS)))

I am so very sorry for your loss. You have experienced such a roller coaster of emotions throughout Xena's illness, and my heart breaks for you. You will forever be touched by your little angel.

I'm just so sorry for you both. She fought like hell and honored her name. The universe is just so @##%ing cruel sometimes to make these little ones fight so hard and then take them anyway. My heart goes out to you. I hope that someone makes the bastards who allowed her to get sick and then sold her anyway pay.

I hope so too. But her death will not be in vain. I will continue to play my part in what will hopefully change legislation so that places like these stop doing what they are doing or close down! It was very painful as some of you will know. I don't think I'll ever forget how she died :'(

It was scary for me but she died in my arms crying and she never cried not even when she was facing death the first time. She was the dog I dreamed of having my entire life. She was the perfect dog for me. I never thought I'd go through this. She was a sweet loving dog. she will never be forgotten. I wish there was more I could have done

Thank you all for your kind words.

There was nothing else you could have done. I have cried my eyes out over her loss. She was a fighter and deserved to live.
If there is anything that can be done in your fight for her memory just say so.

I am so very sorry you lost your sweet baby Xena. She did not deserve to suffer like that. At least she got to know what love felt like in her short life. Your story broke my heart. You should not have had to go through that either. Hugs.

I am so sorry for the loss of precious Xena. My heart aches for you, and there are no words to make this any better. Just simply so sad. Hugs to you.

Thank you everyone, it has been difficult. She has taken a piece of my heart with her. It was wonderful coming home to her. It's nice having a YT family.

Thank you again for your kind and sincere words.

Please stay here if you are able to. We care about you and want to be here to support you. I fount YT after my sixteen year old little girl, Ashley, was diagnosed with irritable bowel. I lost her nine months later, yet I still came here most days for almost two years without a dog in my life. My two dear friends I met on YT found Katie for me, and when I was unable to travel to get her, one went and got her and brought her to me. That was three years ago, and I completely adore her. I will always love and miss my other babies before Katie, and we talk about them a great deal with such joy. The pain is still there, but the more powerful feeling in our hearts is overwhelming love.

Xena's death hit me hard. I know the terrible pain you are feeling, especially after caring for her the way you did. You saw such improvement, and then to lose her after that is devastating. I experienced that with one of my Yorkies. Her illness with congestive heart failure brought me to an even closer bond with her, if that was even possible. We pulled her through and went on daily hourly round trips to the vet with just her for fluids, a quick checkup, and a vitamin B-12 shot (my vet charged me only $19 a day for that) for a month. Kiwi got much better, and we were so incredibly happy. She was weak, though, and we lost her from an eye infection. To say my husband and I were heartbroken is a huge understatement. Kiwi was close to ten years old, and then her baby sister, my tiny little girl with severe collapsed trachea all her life, passed away four months later. My husband believes Gracie died from a broken heart because she idolized Kiwi. She was only 9.5 years, but my vet told me after the fact that he never expected her to live beyond five. Losing our two babies so close together was devastating to us. We always said if we lost Gracie we would get another puppy, so they'd always have a sister, but we were so heartbroken that we weren't able to consider a puppy at the time. So Ashley remained our little princess for all of those years by herself, and we poured all of our love into her. I fell in love with her from our first night together, so I know how devastating your loss is, especially since you had so many hopes and dreams with her.

When you feel ready, please consider another baby. You are so caring and loving, and you're a great mom. No Yorkie can replace another one; I say that with experience. My last three were within a year of each other, came from the same breeder, and had the same beautiful sire. There were similarities in looks, but each of them had a different personality, all of which I completely adored. When I lost my first Yorkie, Jolie, I never thought I'd love another one as much as her. But then I soon found out that I was wrong, and Ashley stole my heart really from the first time I held her soon after I lost Jolie. We had to wait several weeks before she could leave her breeder, and that gave us time to grieve for Jolie. Waiting almost two years for Katie was far too long. We were so lonely and sad, and we really didn't know how to live without a dog.

If there is anything I can do to help you, all you need to do is ask.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write me such a nice message and for sharing your personal experiences with me. After having her I will agree that it feels hard to live without a dog. Sometimes the unexpected happens and as dog owners we always want to do the best we can and sometimes our best doesn't seem enough (at least to us) and we always want to do more for our four legged babies.

I hope to buy another dog soon because the house is empty, my heart misses her and I just need another dog (my husband feels the same). This weekend was our first weekend without her and time just seemed to go by soooo slow. We talked about "what would Xena be doing right now.." She was part of our daily/weekend and we did everything with her and spent so much time with her that it was very difficult. My mom was heart broken with the news also... We all cried as we said goodbye...She touched many hearts during her short time on earth.
