Today Yonnie my little soulmate crossed the rainbow bridge

My little dog Yonnie was a one off, she loved me to pieces and i loved her the same way.

Took her to the vets Monday because she was not eating or drinking and had lost 3 kilo of weight, the vet did tests but no improvement at all, and today i saw the vet again and i stressed i didn't want her pulled about to prolong any suffering, she was lethargic and whatever i tried to tempt her with she wouldn't eat a crumb and i made the decision to have her put to sleep, and that's such a hard decision to make, i have pangs of wondering if i did the right thing coupled with terrible guilt.

Yonnie was my shadow and went everywhere with me and even slept on my bed.

I am bereft with grief, and not sure how to cope.

I still have Diva, a little Papillon who is also elderly, but when i lose her i won't have another dog, for i cannot cope with the heartache, my dogs have meant the world to me, but no more can i go through this.

I brought Yonnie home and buried her in the garden ,along with our other departed pets.

Oh gosh, i am broken.😢

I know. When l lost my boy (5 yrs ago) l couldn’t go out of the house for 3/4 weeks. It was beyond grief. Unless you have been there………. He is still with me and nothing can take him out of my heart. Love never dies. I believe these little animals are a gift from God and sent for us to look after. We do our best and then God does the rest. If you are like me, you will be sobbing in your pillow at night. It’s almost unbearable. Keep strong for her. Xxxxx

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your soulmate. I feel your pain as it's been almost a year since Smokey passed away and he was my "Once In A Lifetime Dog".

Know that she is resting peacefully and pain free. She's at the 🌈 rainbow bridge, patiently waiting for your reunion. She's not gone. You will be visited by her. In the days and weeks right after he died, Smokey sent me signs to let me know he was safe and still by my side even though I no longer could physically see or touch him.

In fact, he just visited me a couple weeks ago in a vividly REAL dream that I woke myself up from by talking like it was happening IRL!

Spoil diva. She's your comfort and you're hers as you go through this loss. Grace is 12.5 years old, and our last pup, so I understand your feeling about diva. I've become SO MUCH CLOSER to her in the last 11 months!

The grief is awful. Leaning on the empathy of this forum was a a huge influence on my ability to cope through the process. We're here for you. We understand the importance of our therapy animals. They're more than pets... they're our family.
