Julianna,
Thank you so much for the positive thoughts. Sheila has had a very bad few days. Thank you for your very kind words-we've been married 40 years next month, and I believe, we were meant for each other.

It hurts to see her suffer. She doesn't deserve it. Today is her birthday, and she spent the morning, in her room, grieving for Kia. We lost her last year, 13 days after Sheila's birthday. Exactly two years to the day, that we lost Sydney.

The girls meant everything to her.

How very sad... Happy Birthday, Sheila! I don't know how you can bear it. Our oldest passed in December, my heart is in pieces and would be so much worse if not for my other 2 Yorkies and Biewer, and of course my friends here on YT, who I know all truly understand what I am going through. The only way I make it through each day is by forcing myself to focus on the love we shared, and praying that we will meet again. Still can't talk about it, trying not to think. Praying for you both... and truly wishing you a Happy Anniversary next month...

Sheila, I am so sorry that you are going through so much heartache. I pray each day that you will feel better, get stronger, and that your heart will heal, too. It has been a long time since I lost my beloveds Kiwi and Gracie within four months of each other. Time has erased some of the pain, but it still hurts. I lost their sister, Ashley, close to her seventeenth birthday in June 2010. I will always miss them, and I know the pain will never go away fully, but the most powerful emotion that I feel now for them and the little Yorkie I had before them is an overwhelming love and happiness from having them in our life and forever in our hearts. We were so lonely and empty without a little one in our lives for almost two years. Katie has been with us since Mothers Day 2012, and she has brought so much life back to our lives. We simply adore her. One little one can never replace another, but the heart expands again and is capable of loving so fully again. I hope another little one can bring you happiness and that your health improves.

Sheila asked me to thank you, Kat. She got up in the morning, took her morning meds, and cried, said, "It's my birthday, Kia should be here" and she went back to bed. I tapped on her bedroom door, and asked if I could come in there with her, and she quietly said, "Please, just leave me alone for awhile".

She cried most of the day. A very dear friend of hers from FL called her later in the day, and they talked for hours. Sheila cried so much, her friend understands, because she has lost two Yorkies, and cried with her.

We lost both our girls, two years apart, on the exact same day-February
28th.

Sheila grieved so hard for so long, after we lost Sydney. She and Kia clung to each other. Sydney had adopted Kia as her "baby", so Kia was grieving, too.

Her girls helped her deal with her MS, and it progressed with both of their deaths.


We're both so sorry that that you lost your oldest Yorkie in December. It's a pain, that only other Yorkie lovers understand.

We know that we will see our girls, again, in Heaven. God created these wonderful beings to be our companions, and we have a very loving Father in Heaven. We believe they are Angels in Heaven, just as they were our Angels on earth.

Sheila is absolutely lost without her girls.

Thank you for praying for us.

And thank you for wishing us a Happy Anniversary next month.

With my deepest gratitude,
Rich

Lisa,

Sheila asked me to thank you. She said the pain of losing our girls, is a pain that never goes away. It's a pain that you just learn to live with each day.

Each "1st" without the girls, is so hard on her.

She asked me to tell you, that she is so sorry that you lost your precious Kiwi and Gracie within 4 months of each other. And then, to lose their sister Ashley. She said it has been hard enough, losing Sydney and Kia, two years apart.

We did get another Yorkie in September, but he had health issues we couldn't manage, with Sheila's health issues. The breeder has promised her another puppy later this year.

He was actually easing some of her emotional pain, but we expected Sheila to have surgery and be in the hospital a very long time, and a long recovery at home....when she dropped down to 70#s, the surgeon said, "No surgery".

Our house is far too empty without our girls. So, I am hoping the breeder will have a puppy for Sheila, soon.

You're right, another puppy can't replace the ones we have lost, but they each have their own personalities, and Sheila truly loved the puppy I took back to the breeder. She cried so hard, the day I was getting ready to take him back, pleading with me, "Does he really have to go back?" If I had known, that the surgeon would refuse to do the surgery, I wouldn't have taken him back. I've only made it worse for her.

But I know she will love another. We love them all, just differently.

I'm happy to hear that you got little Katie. And she has eased the lonliness.

We've had Yorkies, 30 of the almost 40 years we have been married.
