Sandy, it was so hard reading your post. I can't even imagine how you heart must have plummeted into your stomach when you realized what happened. I am so so sorry you had to go through that. I didn't know about Buford toads so I looked them up on the internet. You did everything exactly right according to everything I read. There was nothing else you could have done. A tragic event like this could happen to any of us, our children, parents and our puppies, and in the blink of an eye they are taken from us. I saw my Teddy Bear come within a hair's breath of getting run over by a car. I could have lost him because I thought he would stay sitting where I put him. I told him to stay. He had always stayed before. I will never have such high expectations of one of my babies again. A simple moment of forgetfulness took my mom from me. It is so hard to get over. I know. Time was a great healer for me. It took a long time but eventually I was able to take it day by day and put one foot in front of the other and go on. I am hugging my pups closer since I saw this. We just never know how long we will have them, none of us know.
