hello all. i know this isnt the correct place to be posting this. but i really need some support right now... i dont think im ever going to stop crying. my yorkie-poo mr. bentley died today. robbie came home to check the mail, and swung the door shut behind him, and benny got shut in the door... he was rushed to the vet, but there was nothing they could do.. he slept on my pillow next to my head every night, and he was my little baby, and i just cant imagine life without him. it hurts so much......
thanks for listening everyone.
say a prayer for me...

no, i dont hold anything against him.. he loved mr bentley too....
we all did.. its really hard to be here at my house.. .i came home to all the little messes that he makes.. the torn up paper... his toys.. its really hard to deal with..
my little girl wants another one.
i dont want to feel like i am "replacing" my bennny. i loved him so much.
but i would also like to fill this void that i have now. im torn on what to do.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Only you will know when it's time to open your home & heart to another puppy. I wouldn't think of it as 'replacing' Bentley as I'm sure he could not be replaced. A new puppy would bring new and different memories & joy for you and your family.
Rest in peace Mr. Bentley!

I am so sorry such a tradgedy , my eldest son had a lorikeet (fid) that followed him through a swinging door and got killed too , I never realised the dangers in those doors till that happened ..Hugs from across the miles to you and your family ..
Another doggie will heal your pain but I would wait just a little while to give yourselves time to grieve and although youi will never forget your little guy best to wait till the shock and trauma has subsided ..IMO...
Hugs from on who cares...

my benny was only 5 months old.. we had only had him for 3 months. we are all really tore up. i usually am the one to leave our store to come home to get the mail, today was the very first day that he checked the mail. so there are so much what if's... when he was on his way out the door, i even went out and told him that i wanted to go so i could see mr bentley for a while. but he wanted to go today... i seriously dont know how i am gonna get thru the night... benny slept with me, on my pillow, or snuggled up in the bend of my arm... i feel sick....

Oh geez...I am so very sorry. What a horrible way to lose a beloved pet

Funny how much they can wiggle into our hearts in such a short amount of time.
My parent's lost their sheltie a couple years ago (she had cancer) and they went through a long time of deciding whether or not to get another dog, because they knew they would never be able to replace her. It took them 2.5 years before they went and purchased a new sheltie. And you know what? She hasn't replaced the old one in the least. She has such a different personality and my parent's couldn't be happier.
When you're ready, you'll get another one.
My heart goes out to you for your tragic loss.

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss.
No, you can NEVER "replace" Mr. Bentley, but as soon as it's possible for you, get another. It won't fill the hole he left in your heart, but the new one will make its own place in your heart. I always get one as soon as I can. I tell it that there are some BIG shoes that it can never fill, but it can follow in the footsteps.
A new one always eases my pain and makes me laugh a lot sooner than I would without it.
I will ask God to ease your pain as quickly as possible for only He can do that.
Be blessed.

I am so so sorry for your loss, I can not even imagine the pain you are going through. Like others have said, only time will tell when you are ready to get another. Mr. Bentley is now over the rainbow bridge =) You should visit the site, it is absolutely lovely and the poems just touch heart.

well.. its morning.. i had no sleep, and still seem to be crying. im trying not to be so upset though, as it makes robbie more upset.
its funny how such a tiny little guy could fill up an entire house.. the place just feels so empty without him. i have to make the tough decision now wether or not to go pick his little body up from the vet. that would be so hard, i cant even think about it.
my little girl wants another puppy. i believe in signs, or if i think im given a sign, i take it.... yesterday morning, when i was at our store, a lady came in and just happened to leave a copy of a classified ad paper in my store.... and i was skimming thru, and
saw an ad for yorkie poo's. of course i didnt call, cause i had mr. bentley. but after he passed, robbie called, and talked to the lady... she told us that he was her last one, and he happened to be the same price that we paid for benny... which doesnt happen much... we got a steal on benny.. and mr bentley also happened to be the last one of the litter...
maybe im reading too much into it.
or maybe that paper was left in my store for a reason.

well, this morning, i happened to find a yorkie pup... out of all the pups there, this one was the one... he is helping us all deal with this.. he is such a cuddler, and so tiny and precious. i am still crying on and off and i miss benny TERRIBLY.. but this little guy has made me smile.. even laugh, a little, when i was opening an ice cream cone pack, and he stuck his whole head into the cone....
its still hard to be here at the house without my benny though.. i still keep finding his little benny messes everywhere... his toys... toothbrushes... he loved them...im gonna miss that little guy..

sorry i keep going on and on... this is the hardest thing i think i have ever had to go thru....
a tribute to mr. bentley
i cant believe youre gone,
its only been a day.
illl miss everything about you. even the way you got into the trash.
i remember the day your dad got up to answer the door, and you stole his sub...
right under my nose, and i didnt even notice. then i remember how you got sick.
and how you thought you were alot bigger than you were when you ran penny out of our yard, back
into her own.. you looked so proud walking back over, your face said it all "mom, did you see what i just did"
i miss the way you just jumped into the river with me, the very first time you went, then got cold and we had to take a nap.
i miss watching you go over to peteys cage, when he was hanging out on the bottom, and you would go hang out with him for hours.. he will miss that too.
and when he would chirp at 830 every morning.. and wake you up
ill miss taking you thru the mc. donalds drive thru every morning for my coffee, and they would give you cookies.. which you never got... people food made you sick.
the way you would bark and run to the door every time someone came over, like you were going to protect everyone.
ill miss you sleeping on my pillow everynight, and that little noise you always made when you were finally comfortable.
the way you smell...
ill miss finding things around the house that you have stolen... crayons.. toothbrushes... papertowels..
the way you just wanted to be with me always..
i dont want to forget anything about you....
i will miss everything about you my precious little man...
