Sad to announce

Is Sheena ok, Nicole?

HUGS to you and those precious babies and the mom!

Thanks so much.

Sheena is doing better. Last night she kept counting her pups and then looking for the missing one. Then over night she kept crying for him. But today she seems better. Wants to cuddle more with me and she is being overly protective of the 6 she has but I figure in a few more days she will go back to normal. I am trying to keep the routine she is used to going with some added play and cuddle time. I think she will be fine though in a few days. I know it hit her hard because she is a very emotionally sensative dog(which is one of the reasons she makes such a great PSD). But she is strong and with 6 boys they will keep her busy soon.

I'm so sorry for you and Sheena. It is such a tragedy but i'm sure it could have happened even if you were right there watching so please don't blame yourself. Give Sheena a big hug for me. Poor little girl.

I am so sorry to be reading this. Hugs to you and Sheena.

Admittingly, I gasped at the title.I understand how you feel, NicholeIt's an image and sound you won't forget. I know you feel guilty. When I hit that poor little dog in June, the guilt was overwhelming. But it has slowly subsided. I believe things happen for a reason. Please don't whip yourself. You are a compassionate, loving, experienced dog owner/breeder and I greatly admire you. Please accept my condolences but know my RBCody has an important duty at the Bridge, and will surely be watching over Little Golden Boy. Please hug Sheena for me. Hugs to you too.

RIP Golden Boy.

Poor little puppyface

Can only repeat what the others have said - it was an accident and you are not to blame. Hugs to you, Sheena and the little boys

Thank you so much everyone. Your support has ment a great deal to me. Things have gotten much better since Tuesday. Until then Sheena was constantly digging in closets crying for her pup. She would purposely count her pups and wake them every half hour. I kid you not. Drove us nuts because she wasn't content till they woke up crying. Then she would settle. Only to repeat it a half hour or so later. Made sleeping at night almost impossible. But finnally on Tuesday it all stopped. She still will go in once and a while and count her pups but not wake them anymore. She also is no longer searching and digging in closets or crying. So the past two days have gotten a lot easier on all of us.

I am still hurting inside for the loss of little Golden but not as bad as before and the other pups are keeping me busy along with updating the adopters and Service Dog Trainer regularly and updating my website. I am also kept busy with the constant emails asking if we have any pups avalable. And of course we don't. So we are already starting a waiting list for the next breeding. Which will be Sheena's last and not for at least a year and a half.

I had no idea I would be getting so many emails about these pups after I started posting pictures to my website. It is shocking and the volume is very over whelming. But it is keeping me busy, since I try and answer eveyone in a timely manner. And being busy keeps me from thinking and hurting too much.

Agian thank you everyone. Your support helped a great deal and Sheena and I are doing much better.
