 A Rude Awakening For Me!
I got a call from Adie’s breeder last night. Adie’s fur father was killed in a freak accident. It seems that two other dogs got in to a fight under the dinning room table. William was trying to get away from it and tried to run out from under the table. At the same time another little one was also trying to get away from it but was sitting on one of the chairs. She jumped down and landed right on top of William. One of William’s ribs was broken and punctured his lung. He died before they could get him to the clinic.
None of these dogs weighs over 5 lbs. so it was a pretty rude awakening for me. I keep thinking Adie is a tough little snot and not as fragile as others but this was her father! So things like that don’t just happen to other dogs. They could happen to my little fur baby too. I can’t say I will do anything differently because I’m very protective and take all the precautions I can but it sure does refresh my memory as to why I do so. This was no one’s fault though.
We must never let our guard down!
On another note this also ruins my plans for one day getting one of Adie’s sisters even though I will be able to get a half-sister. The breeder is also keeping one of Adie’s brothers for future breeding so I might even end up with a niece! |
