| If I may say this. Right now you are still going through the grieving process and your numb. If you can maybe get someone to walk him once a day and have him taken for baths and haircuts just for a little while I am thinking soon you will start to feel better and there you will have your yorkie with you to provide you with unconditional love and you can talk to him tell him anything that is in your heart. He will help you heal. The loss of a child is a painful one and the emotions that get set in place take time to go through them all. Yes anger will be one of them. But again when you come out the other side your furbaby will be there for you. It's just somethings to think about, Hugs

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...ml#post1762372 You state, "I took in an adult yorkie.... Bogey. This was just a match made in heaven... It truly was. There's no way he just "happened" into our lives at the time he did." and, "I can't imagine life without my Bogey now!" I can't help but agree with some of the other posters. You clearly love him very much and perhaps, once you come through this horrible time in your life, you may regret your choice to re-home him. It also appears that you have another little girl. Are you trying to re-home her as well? It appears she has had medical struggles in the past. I really want to help you and will if you still want it, just want to make sure you are 100% certain this is the right way to go. I have left a message for my friend and will PM you once I hear from her.

This is what I was thinking... it sounds like OP is just going through a REALLY rough time and probably, yes, does need a break, but I don't know if it should be a permanent one... Prayers still coming OP's way! | |

| No parent should ever lose a child, and if they do, it has to be the deepest pain one could ever imagine. I'm so very, very sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers. As for your fur baby, well I think you should take him to the groomers to have him bathed and clipped, then take him for a nice long walk, and really think about what your trying to do. This boy needs you as much as you need him. Please, reconsider. It will help you very much in moving ahead. My sister's 5 year old daughter and her husband, drowned at the same time and she was in shock for a very, very long time. It was her animals that stood by her with unconditional love that helped her the most. I truly believe they are hear to help us.

| I don't want to weigh in on your decision to rehome him or not, but I did want to say this. Maybe you should open your heart to him. Grab him, hug him and cry into his soft coat. Dealing with loss is the most difficult situation in one's lifetime. Your baby can bring you tremendous comfort right now when you sound like you need him most. I do not know the pain of having lost a child at all, I cannot even begin to imagine. I can only say that my boys were a godsend when I went through the worst, toughest time of my life. Your baby does not care whether he's had a bath in 2 weeks or 2 months or more. Actually he is probably thrilled he hasn't had to suffer through a bath. I am so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS))) to you.

YT Addict | I so agree! I just spoke with the lady my Mia came from and she just lost her hubby a week ago. This after he son passing a little over a year ago but on the bright side her only grandchild turns 2 today. I think her beloved Yorkies have been carrying her through! I know Mia has allowed me to cry at the oddest of times and she has put her cheek next to mine and allowed me to talk and cry. They are so understanding and caring. |

| I sent Lopsi a PM as I have someone interested in her yorkie but she hasn't replied. Has anybody else been communicating with her? She seems distraught and I'm worried for her and this little yorkie.

| I'm hoping she has realized that her pup is just what she needs to help her get through this hard time. If she can dig deep & aim her sadness towards loving him she will heal much faster. They need each other now more then ever. You are great for trying to help her though so don't give up just incase she needs you. |

| I have been offline for a few days. I just sent a pm to one person who pm'ed me, and I'm working on getting caught up. I saw you post here to inquire, so I decided to post here next. I appreciate the comments. Yes, I said "possible" new home because I'm really only willing to let him go if he's going to a much better home. I do love him, he's been a great dog for us. No, I am not rehoming Pixie. She is very delicate and has had a lot of health problems (they are semi-under control at the moment), and I really just don't trust her going to another home as I don't think that would be good for her. She also doesn't have the social needs that Bogey does. Pixie would rather curl up and sleep than "go" - Bogey begs to go for walks, rides, etc. Bogey is an almost 6-year-old "puppy" - Pixie is a nearly 5-year-old "old dog". Will respond more, need to catch up on the PMs...

| You are in my prayers. So sorry for your loss of your daughter. I would think rehoming your baby now would be another loss for you. Maybe you can think about it and find a way to keep him. You probably need each other and you might wish you had each other to love.
