sad report/strength

First I want to thank all of you!  Your support has given me strength.  Sadly I lost both girls yesterday.

I can't tell you how much peace God has given me and how much strength I have gained in this.  Something like this is always painful but I have to examine my place in life...where my heart is...ask God questions, talk to Him ...and in the end remember that HE knows what I am going through and He knows all that goes on...so, God's plan will over rule...I cannot change what is...I can only do everything I know how to do for the puppies and accept what happens.  And realize I am to praise God in my trials because it is in my trials where I am strengthened.

Now, other info has come into play as well.  I let the vet do an autopsy, he requested doing so.  He found an abnormality, he believes genetic.  So, I have other information to consider, which is actually helpful in the big picture.

Maybe the boys will be ok, maybe not.  Dog breeding is not for the faint of heart!!!  It's not the first disaster I've had in breeding and if I stay in long enough, it won't be the last.

  3. I'm sorry you lost the girls, but your ability to draw strength from this situation is inspiring. It's so easy to recognize only the bad. Finding the good requires special insight. Hugs, Rita. We all must take long trips.

  7. Rita, such sad news...please remember that you and all your furry companions are in our prayers during this difficult, disappointing, and oh-so-tender time. May the little ones who have so soon crossed the Rainbow Bridge find peace and joy. And may the ones who are still with Nibbs be well soon. Love and prayers, Betsy+

  9. As tears run down my face Rita, I realize how fortunate I was that my singleton survived pneumonia. I am so incredibly sorry for your losses, and I hope and pray that the remaining babies are strong and overcome the illness. You are in my thoughts and prayers.... *hugs*
