I lost a puppy last year. She was 7 1/2 weeks old. I have never forgotten her or got over it, and This thread reminded me of how painful that was. I had to tell her new family as well as she was booked. Her ashes are sitting in my cabinet along with her picture, but because I know she may not be my last puppy to lose, I have decided to get a tattoo on my ankle- of an adult and baby yorkie sittin together on a bridge, with a rainbow over it, and every one of my babies (adult or puppy) who crosses rainbow bridge will have a pawprint added to the tattoo in their memory- so I Can't ever forget.
Some will find that a beautiful idea, some (not many yters tho) will find it pathetic, but it will be a permanent reminder of how fragile and temporary life really is.
I am so sorry for your loss- your probably so raw now, I cried for nearly a week straight, but it does get better; she's happy where she is, playing with all our other babies who were taken too soon. At least you know she won't hurt, just be happy and content forever... I hope if you can remember that, it will be of some comfort, if not now, then in the near future...

Also, I'm glad to hear all other babies and momma doing so well- and you are truly blessed to have such a dedicated veterinary clinic- not all would have gone to such lengths to try and save her.
