Shasha, your situation is heartbreaking on so many levels. I do hope the loss of the pups is a hard lesson very well learned for you. As breeders, our actions (or inactions) truly do make the difference between life and death. Any criticisms directed at you over the loss of the pups is because we are all horrified at what happened and can picture a very gruesome scene. No, it is not Stella's fault and the simple act of closing a door would have prevented this. I take no joy in pointing this out and grieve for the loss of your babies, as I'm sure many do.
I have lost babies before, as many breeders have, despite our best efforts. It is because we know how it feels to lose one of these angels that we feel so strongly about the circumstances of your babies. If it hurts your feelings, I'm sorry....but some things just can't be sugar-coated.
All that being said, I'm very sorry to hear of what you're going through with Stella. You and she will both be in my prayers at this very trying time. |
