What a wonderful yet heartbreaking weekend.
We welcomed Sadie + Boone’s babies. Ten little angels came into the world and two left us. If you followed along on Sadie’s birth post then you know that one sweet boy was born sleeping. This is difficult but it happens sometimes, especially in larger litters. His placenta had detached and there was nothing we could do to save him. Nine other puppies came, all healthy but one girl was very small. She was nursing well and fitting right in with her siblings. I sleep near the puppies for the first couple of weeks and check on them just about every hour, especially through the night. I had been watching my favorite show while checking up, and everyone was nursing - perfectly happy - it hadn’t been but 40-50 minutes when I got up to check on them. Little tiny girl was behind momma’s legs. I thought she was just sleeping really well, but when I moved her she was limp. I realized that she wasn’t just sleeping. She was warm but she wasn’t breathing. I yelled for Chris. He came to help. I tried everything to bring her back but it just wasn’t happening. I sat and I cried. I don’t know if she may have accidentally gotten up under Sadie, or if something was wrong in her little body, but we had to let her go. This is the first time we’ve lost a pup suddenly after birth and it has just wrecked me. Every puppy that we bring into this world is so special, but I like to believe that she had a purpose much bigger than our world. Although I’m heartbroken that we lost her, I am so thankful that we have eight thriving littles here with us and a momma who is recovering wonderfully. I’m thankful for our support system and everyone who has reached out with caring words. Our dogs are our world and I am not just a breeder. Every puppy that comes out of our program is loved beyond measure.
With all that being said, we are happy to welcome our Sadie + Boone babies. I’ve waited for a second generation litter from Roman + Willow for a long time. 🤍 These puppies will be wonderful companions and I truly believe they will do great things. Little girl will be watching over them. 🥰
