Our little yorkie was 15 1/2 and we had to go and put her to sleep today.
This was the hardest day. I cant beleive she is gone.
We never spayed her and that was my fault because I heard that sometimes the little yorkies dont wake up from the stuff they give them to put them out. So 15 years ago I said no.
Well, she has been having infections and we have caught them right away and she always got better.
To make a long story short this time she was suffering so much and not getting better we had to put our sweet baby down.
I have been home (retired) with her for the last five years and Sophie and I have had our routines together and we loved having each others great company. I know she trusted me more than anyone in the world.
Tomorrow I have to wake up and she will not be here. This dog will be missed and I dont think it will be easy to get over her loss for either me or my husband. He always called us his two princess's.
I think I'll have to stay in for a week or so because if I talk to anyone and they ask whats new I will start to ball my eyes out like I am doing now.
Sorry to bum all of you out but I dont know what else to do right now.
I'm so sorry. I know she was a very important part of your life for so long. Rest easy knowing that you gave her a wonderful life!
I'm sorry for your loss
Phats
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I am praying that you are comforted in the fact that your precious Sophie had a long and wonderful life with you. You sound like you spoiled her rotten and that she had an amazing, happy life with you. I truly do feel for you. I have a 12 year old fur-baby named Charlie (sh*tzu/yorkie-poo). Charlie was recently diagnosed with cancer and I realize that he will not be with us forever. I don't know how I will deal with it when he is gone. I don't want to lose him, but will not prolong his life if he is suffering. You did right by your sweet Sophie and she will forever hold a special place in your heart. Please stay in touch and let me know how you are doing. Love and very gentle hugs, JuliahOMG Thinkthin, I lost my Yorkie Jan. 1. I am still not over him even though I have two new puppies. I made a memorial for him in our yard. I look at it and I still want to cry. They all have different personalities but I think Yorkies are the sweetest dogs on this earth. I know how bad you must be feeling and my heart breaks for you. My yorkie was ten.I think I will see all my lost pets in heaven its a promise I cannot explain but I expect to see all my pets from forever there.
So sorry for your loss Thinkthinn, I can't imagine the heartbreak if something happened to my baby Pomeranian, my DH and I are nuts about her. Fifteen years with your Yorkie and I'm sure it feels like you've lost a close family member.No one can know how you feel if they've never loved a pet like that, but I sure can relate. Our little Izzie rules the roost around here and is a spoiled bratt and we love it!
It's probably too soon to think about but maybe later you might want another dog. It may help you heal and Yorkies are so precious! Good Luck to you and your husband
Sorry you have lost your precious one. You were such a good mommy to Sophie, that maybe there is another dear friend who could use that love. I can't imagine how lonely it must be for you without her. Go ahead and cry. Tears were made for occasions like this. Your dear little Yorkie had the best life a doggie could have so keep those memories with you forever. I have a border terrier with heart failure and dread the time when he will go which according to the vet will be in the next few months but I will remember him as the brave little dog who lies by my side for days when I am not well - very hard for a border. Terriers are special dogs and you can feel glad that your Yorkie ended up enjoying a special life with you who truly cared for her.I'm so sorry for your loss of Sophie...may time heal your heart.
Here's a little something I'd like to share with you.
Peace & Love...Neasy
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
