.
It has been a rough 5 months at our home, with lots of tears, sadness beyond measure and dark depression. Mummy is still crying for Katie and Millie and says she isn’t REALLY SURE she will EVER GET OVER THE LOSS, but something had to change to help with the healing process because she was getting WORSE instead of better. She looked at a few rescue sites and filled out forms but was rejected because she didn’t live in the state where the doggie was located. Things were going from bad to worse. Then she heard about an available puppy from a breeder in California. The puppy’s daddy’s name was AMOUR TOUJOUR which is french… and made Mummy think of Millie and all the happy times they spent together in Paris. His name means LOVE ALWAYS. Well, this made Mummy cry because she thought how she would love Katie and Millie ALWAYS and decided to name the new baby, LOVIE, in honor of her lost babies. Her middle name is CAMILLE, pronounced kah-me, like they say it in France. So little LOVIE CAMILLE was flown here from California by a sweet puppy nanny last week. She is 6 months old and weighs a bit over 2 pounds… TINY!!! She is expected to reach about 4 pounds full grown. She IS NOT A REPLACEMENT for Millie and Katie, as there is NO PUPPY that could EVER, EVER replace them… but we hope that she will help to heal the broken hearts in this house and make us all start smiling again. We hope that all of our friends will welcome her too. She is so sweet and very affectionate, and such a happy little girl.
She is NOT KATIE.
She is NOT MILLIE.
She is LOVIE CAMILLE and she will do things HER WAY.
She is beautiful and will be a sweet addition to your loving home. God bless each of you! In my thoughts and prayers. Angel hugs and love!!!!!
Thank you so much. We are all just getting adjusted right now but she is a very happy girl. Tulip and Addie are unsure at the moment! Lololol She is soooo tiny… I don’t think they know WHAT SHE IS! Lololol
Congrats on the new baby! So Cute! Will she have a nickname like Cami? She’s beautiful! What is her est. adult weight? I bet she’s keeping you busy!
We are calling her LOVIE so that we always keep in mind the LOVE we will always have for Katie and Millie. Lovie is meant for us to REMEMBER them in happier times and not to forget or replace them. When she plays with a toy I tell her that it was one of her sister Millie’s favorite toys! And when I put a tiny shirt or sweater on her I tell her that it was Katie’s.
Precious precious
Ohhh… her expected adult weight is about 4 pounds. I hope that she gets there… or even a little bigger!
Allie was to be 4-5 lbs – she’s now 7 – 7.5 lbs but not fat !
She is beautiful ! I’m happy she will help heal. You will never forget them but she will make you smile . Love from the Ortiz yorkies and Pookie. I’ve thought about you a lot.
Thank you sweet friend. I have actually been thinking of you as well! Lovie is just so tiny and I thought of calling you for some advice. Sending love to you too.
She is beautiful and I know it will help you as it did me when we lost our German Shepherd due to illness .
Our little baby Maggie helped heal my broken heart too .
Ohhhh thank you for telling me that! I am just praying that this is what I need to help me move forward because I am just mired down in a dark depression that I cannot escape from. My heart just feels like it has seized up and STOPPED. It is actually PAINFUL. So I hope that this little, tiny bundle of energy will bring some much needed smiles into our home. Just a ray of light…
Lovie is adorable & so cute. I hope she brings much happiness & smiles to you’re home.
Thank you Cathy. I am praying she is what we need to bring happiness back into our home. I look forward to sharing new pictures of her as she adjusts to her new life.
Welcome. She is beautiful. Congratulations
Thank you Doriana! We think she is precious and look forward to getting to know her little personality. So far she seems very spirited and FEISTY! She doesn’t mind wearing a hair bow or a little shirt but she doesn’t sit still too well for pictures!!!! OH NOOOOO!!! Lolololol So first thing… she will need to learn SIT and STAY. lololol She doesn’t understand how IMPORTANT the PICTURES are!
Good Luck because my Fairyn is six, and she still doesn’t sit still! Lol
What a little sweetheart . You are going to have a lot of fun with her . Try to feel happy again . I know it takes time , but we have to live with the sadness of our past pets , that we never forget .. love to you and your family.❤️
Thank you so much Betty! Lovie will help to make us smile and remember happier times with Katie and Millie because we will tell her ALL ABOUT her 2 sisters that she never got to know. ❤️🐶🥰
So glad for you my dear . It’s hard to do but what choose do we have . Love forever to our pets gone to the rainbow ridge
Thank you Betty. I think that Lovie will help heal some of the sadness that has engulfed our home. And in time I will be able to talk about happy memories with Millie and Katie again.
She is a reminder of Millie and Katie and the many smiles shared around the world . Welcome Lovie Camille. So many adventures to come.
Thank you so much. We will continue to bring up Katie and Millie so that Lovie knows the names of her sisters.
I had been waiting to see a Gotcha Day announcement for a new little one & I am thrilled for you. Can’t wait to see more stories about Lovie Camille.
Thank you so much sweet friend. I had been refusing to even entertain this idea and as time went on and I was just getting WORSE I felt that something had to change. I had been refusing to even TALK ABOUT Katie and Millie because it was too painful and now I feel I HAVE A REASON to talk about them! I will tell Lovie all sorts of stories about her two sisters that she never knew and remember happy times with them. Yes, there will be tears for a long time still, but the hope is that Lovie will… Read more »
Oh how totally adorable, what a precious baby girl, can’t wait to see more pictures, exactly what your family needs, your angels will be watching over her💕💕💕
Thank you… I know that Katie and Millie are watching us and hope they will help to watch over her.
Lovie is adorable 🥰 and what a beautiful way to remember Millie and Katie Enjoy her love and I am sure Tulip and Addie Mae are excited about their new sister
Tulip and Addie are still getting used to her at the moment. We still have a ways to go before you could call them FRIENDS! Lololol But it has just been a few days and they will get there. I suspect that Addie will come around before Tulip does!!! Lololol
Awwww, I am so happy you have a new little one to love. I hope your tears will subside and you will smile often. She is beautiful.
Thank you Stella. I am really praying that this will begin to help the healing. My heart will always be broken but maybe Lovie will help with the emotional healing.
Congratulations! She is just adorable! Millie and Katie are so happy! They know mummy has much love to give and want you all to be happy! Forever in your heart! ❤️
Thank you Barb. Lovie has two angels watching over her. She doesn’t even know how lucky she is!
OMG, she is absolutely adorable, soooooooo much love ❤❤🐾
Thank you!!!! We are already in love with LOVIE!
Hoping to bring joy back to your home. I am sure Millie and Katie are smiling down on you all. She is beautiful.
Thank you Robin! I think they are watching her too. She is a sweet little girl and full of energy.
Lovie Camille 💕 is just what the doctor ordered. You will be the best Mommy to her and she will love you beyond measure ❣️🥰❤️💕
That is just what we are hoping for! She is already so loved!
Dearest Darsey,
We are incredibly happy for all of you with the arrival of Lovie Camille. I’m sure Millie and Katie are your guardian angels and sent her to help heal your heart. Addie Mae and Tulip will come to love her and she will love them too. We will look forward to your posts and photos. We love you all.❤️❤️💋
Thank you so very much! We are looking forward to watching her little personality develop.
What a lovely name and a new member of the family. Some good news for us to hear. Teddy and Sidney blow kisses to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Teddy and Sidney! 😘😘
So Glad that you have this Beautiful Little Lovie Camille. She is Gorgeous and I’m sure she is glad to be with you all. More Sweet Memories to be made. Loving Hugs and Prayers for you all.
Thank you very much! We are so in love with her and just trying to get her adjusted to things right now. Hopefully she will be nicely settled in by the end of the month.
Congratulations. She will help heal your broken heart. Hugs.
Thank you Kaye. We are hoping there will be lots more smiles than tears in the coming months.
Congratulations! A new puppy was the only way I started to stop grieving so deeply the loss of my Lucy two years ago.
Thank you for telling me this! ❤️ I have prayed hard about this decision and hope this will start some sort of healing because nothing has healed so far. I am worse… not better!
Welcome to the pack Lovie! You have found the perfect forever home. ❤❤❤
Thank you Kim. I am excited to see how she develops. Even as tiny as she is I think she will have an ALPHA personality! She is VERY SPIRITED!!!
WELCOME Lovie! You are precious and have joined the best ever family! We never replace babies but open our hearts to include additional ones! Blessings, comfort, and love to all of you!
Thank you! It feels so strange after so many years to have a baby in the house… and Tulip and Addie don’t quite know what to think of her just yet.
Ms Lovie Camille is adorable hopefully she will help heal your heart, & I think she will, it has always helped me to get another furfriend to cuddle with & talk to, I’m so glad you found Ms Lovie.
Thank you Kathy. I hope she is what I need too! I thought her daddy’s FRENCH NAME was a “sign” from Millie and then to have it mean LOVE ALWAYS made me cry when I thought that I would ALWAYS LOVE Millie and Katie… so the name “Lovie” came to me instantly.
Awwww so happy that there is a baby to keep everyone busy…and I’m sure she will! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL sending hugs. So happy for your family
Thank you for your sweet WELCOME! I love her already and she follows after me every step I take and loves to be held.
So very very happy for you all!
Thank you… she is such a sweet little girl. 💗
Such a touching blog. Katie and Millie Forever in your heart. Lovie. Bonjour et bienvenue dans votre nouvelle famille pour toujours
Merci beaucoup! Elle est très mignonne et si douce. 🐶💗🐶
She’s adorable & very tiny! Congratulations 🎉 🐾. So happy fir all of you. No one can ever replace Millie & Katie but I do think Lovie can help bring some joy back into all of your lives, especially Mummy’s, so you can see her smile. Our hearts and prayers are always with you. Millie & Katie were truly sweet babies & will always be in our hearts. Welcome Lovie. I hope we get to meet you one day. We miss you all. ❌❤️❌❤️ Reese’s, Mommy & my sister Chloe, who my Mommy rescued to help heal her heart after… Read more »
Thank you for sharing that with me. I really prayed about this and need something to help me out of this dark hole.
Lovie is beautiful and a blessed addition to your family. I’m so sorry for your loss but rejoice in your new addition. Just love.
Thank you Peggy. I am hoping that Lovie will be the little darling that makes me smile while allowing me to tell the stories of Millie and Katie… the sisters she never knew.
Bienvenue ma petite Lovie Camille 💝 I’m so glad your mummy was able to find a new sister for all of you! She’s darling!!!
Merci! Merci! I am hoping that I can soon tell her stories about Millie and Katie without crying… just to talk about them AT ALL, without crying will be a step in the right direction.
Sweet little Lovie is precious. She couldn’t have come to a better home where she will be loved beyond measure. Special thoughts to all.
Thank you sweet friend. I hope that she will be happy here. And yes, she will certainly be loved. 💗
Welcome precious little Lovie! You may not know it yet, but you have won the family lottery. Congratulations one and all! 💗
Ohhhhhh thank you Lynn! I feel pretty lucky to have found her, actually! I can’t wait to see how her personality begins to develop. 💗🐶💗
We have done just this all these years. We have had 10 yorkies in 43.5 years. Not a replacement, but to help the healing every time. We are on our last two. Mercedes is 11.5 and Benz is 3.5. Larry is 74 in April, and I’m 66 in May. Didn’t mean to get the last one, but Mercedes greaved herself to death. We had to do this for her. We are worried who would take care of them if something happened to us. We hope we go before them. No more at our ages. Glad you got the new kid… Read more »
Thank you for sharing this with me! I just was not moving into a better place. The grieving and heartache were debilitating. I still cry EVERY SINGLE DAY. Something had to change. I think that Lovie will be what I need that allows me to talk about Millie and Katie. I will tell her all about her sisters that she never knew. And try to remember happier times.
Hello beautiful Lovie! I am so happy that you are now part of the nicest family ! Your sisters will get used to you being feisty and full of fun ! Darsey I know Mille and Katie found her for you. They would want you to be happy! Addie and Tulip will love cuddling and playing with you Lovie given some time. Our new Chloe has our Ruby’s golden eyes and when Chloe gives me that special loving look and I talk to her about Ruby she gives me so many kisses. I feel Ruby in every kiss. It is… Read more »
Thank you so much Helene! I am looking forward to telling her many stories about Millie and Katie… stories I can barely think about right now without breaking down… but hope to one day soon.
Oh my goodness she is so sweet and beautiful. I bet that Millie and Katie sent her to Mummy so she won’t be so sad anymore. I know you will teach her and help her adjust to her new home. She will receive endless love and help heal your family. Don’t worry we will never forget Katie and Millie I love them both. Welcome Lovie Camille 💞💞💞💞
Thank you for your loving WELCOME Aileen! I will make sure that she hears all about her sisters Millie and Katie!
Lovie Camille looks absolutely precious! We are so happy you have opened your heart to another fur baby. Katie and Millie will always hold a special place in your heart and can never be replaced. I’m sure they are smiling down on you from the rainbow bridge, excited to see what new adventures Lovie Camille bring to the you, daddy, Tulip, and Addie Mae.
Thank you for your sweet WELCOME. Everyone is looking forward to what Lovie will be doing in the future! So far she loves toys and loves chasing Tulip and Addie… although they DO NOT like BEING CHASED! Lolool
Lovie is a beauty. She will surely give you much joy. My heart has been hurting for you since your loss of Millie and Katie. I know the pain all too well. I grieved for a year after losing my Princess Dolly in 2018, then we rescued a 6 year old breeder mom in 2019. Dolly’s little brother passed last September and I still miss him . Having Lindy has helped a lot. She makes me smile many times a day and gives me all the love she has. I am so glad we found each other. Over the past… Read more »
Thank you so much for sharing that personal story with me! Yes, it has been a very painful several months and I am hoping that Lovie will be what I need to start a more healthy healing process. Millie and Katie will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN and I WANT to talk about them again one day without crying… that is my real goal.
Oh I am so happy for you. You needed some happiness and joy in your life and that is exactly what puppies bring.
She won’t replace them in any shape or form, but she will help you heal and find the Joy in your life again. She will give you a place to put all the love that you have in your heart. 💕💕Welcome to Lovie Camille
Thank you very much Dawn. I am hoping that is exactly what she will do.
How wonderful for you. A brand new family member! I have followed the crew for a few years now.I especially liked your trip to Paris I leave for Paris on Monday with my granddaughter Chloe. We both speak French, and will visit the Louvre, tour Eiffel, and lots of other museums. I will leave my Yorkie ,Hollywood ,with his dad for 2 weeks. I have never left him behind since we got him as a rescue 2 years ago. I will FaceTime every day as he likes to see people on there . I will give the city a hug… Read more »
Ohhhh have a wonderful time in Paris! I sure do miss it there. ❤️🥰🐶
Darsey, I’m so happy that you have a new little member of the family. I know from experience that having a new baby in the house will lessen the pain. Of course, you’ll never forget those lost, nor will any of us who knew them, but having little Lovie around will give you so much joy. She is absolutely beautiful and I hope you will share pictures of her as she grows.
Thank you for telling me about your own personal experience. I hope that I have the same happy results. I can’t wait to keep everyone updated with new pictures as Lovie grows! 💗
Welcome little Lovie Camille. You are beautiful and certainly a lucky little girl. You have joined a fantastic family and I know that your sissies will love you. You have joined the best family. Your new mommy and daddy are going to shower you with love and cuddles. And I for one, am looking forward to seeing how you are doing as you grow older in this loving family. Hugs from Florida ❤️🐾
Smile Darcy. Your girls at the bridge want to see you happy. I am praying for you.
Thank you sweet friend. I am really looking forward to see how her personality develops and watch her grow! 💗💗💗
I love this! I lost my guy in December and my heart is still breaking. I so agree, you cannot replace them, you just try to move on. Lovie is adorable and I’m sure will bring many smiles to your family. I hope some day I can bring myself to get another one also.
Oh Susie… I am so very sorry for your loss too! It is truly the worst feeling and something you just have to work thru in your own way in your own time. What works for one person might not be the answer for you… but I will pray that you find something to ease your pain. 💔🙏🏻😪
Welcome to a loving home Lovie. You all are in my prayers.
Thank you very, very much! I am going to make sure that she is very loved and very happy here.
On ne remplace pas un chien par un autre mais on peut en aimer un autre.
Yes of course… and I will love her and tell her stories of the 2 sisters she never knew… and keep their memories alive. 💗
Beautiful baby. Welcome !
Thank you very much for your sweet WELCOME! 💗
Nope they never replace but instead create a bigger space filling our hearts-and their little needs keep us busy and lessens the pain of our little fur angels in heaven…welcome Lovie-you are a gift from God to help heal and create new memories!
Thank you Maggie. She has FOR SURE been keeping me busy which keeps my mind occupied and not dwelling on sadness. Many things remind me of Millie and Katie and sadness will creep in but I try and turn it into a positive. Lovie has been playing with a few of Millie’s old toys and it is heartbreaking to see… but I just whisper to her…”that was your sister Millie’s little monkey and she LOVED that little thing!” 💔🐶💗🥰
Welcome Lovie Camille. You have a big job, make Mummy smile again. You are absolutely adorable! You will love the Mitchell household ❤🐾
I am trying to get her used to her surroundings right now and Addie and Tulip are still coming to terms with her! Lololol
I so understand… I was so very crushed when I lost Emily and while I had Peanut, Scruffy and Tootsie I knew my life had changed…. then Tootsie became ill and no matter how hard I tried or what the Vets and I did I lost her just 9 months later…. honestly if I hadn’t gotten little Isabella I just don’t know what may have happened but I know my heart would never have healed…. then a year later Trixie arrived…so again we’re 2 girls and 2 boys… no it’s never ever the same…. but sometimes the only way for… Read more »
Thank you for sharing your own personal story and I really think that Lovie will help me move forward in the same way… because I wasn’t getting better. I adore RESCUE groups but sometimes it is just too difficult for out of state people to adopt a certain pup…. I wish there were away to change the guidelines for adoption. There are REALLY GRAT HOMES that ARE NOT in the same state where the doggie is located. And a person can’t just adopt ANY DOGGIE… you might want a certain breed, and then you also need to feel an EMOTIONAL… Read more »
I’ve heard so many times of the troubles of friends of mine trying to adopt from rescues…. I helped with several rescues and one in particular had RIDICULOUS rules… no renters, had to have X amount income, had to have the right size square footage house, and had to be in “good health”!!! smh one yorkie they had over 50 applications and they were denying all of them! smh I’ve been fortunate that the girls I adopted came from a former rescue I’ve adopted from before so I don’t have to jump thru all the paperwork and hoops now to… Read more »
I know there are wonderful homes in the areas where RESCUE PUPS are located… BUT,there are THOUSANDS of many WONDERFUL HOMES outside of these areas as well… where they WANT TO RESCUE A CERTAIN DOG OR A CERTAIN BREED and are prevented from doing so due to their location. I home cook for my babies, provide healthy snacks, filtered water, vet them at the slightest sniffle, they sleep in the BIG BED with me, travel… are spoiled beyond belief… but I am not considered worthy enough to adopt because I am “out of area” yet these RESCUES have many pups… Read more »
So Adorable enjoy your precious Lovie and all those sweet puppies kisses 🥰
Thank you!!! She is getting soooo many kisses and FOR SURE feels loved!!!
Awwww she is precious! She will fit right in and be wonderful sissy to Tulip and Addie Mae. Congratulations on the new family member, and welcome Lovie! Sending hugs.
Thank you for your WELCOME message. I am slowly getting her acclimated to her surroundings and her new sisters. Slow and steady! 💗
