I honestly think the momma jumped on it and hurt it when she was getting in the the welping box but I will never know for sure. I can tell you I was devastated and I couldnt get it out of my mind. I cried for days and blamed myself but now I know that some puppies arent meant to be. Doesnt mean I wont be devastated again but if you are going to be a breeder than that is one of the things you have to live with. Second is having to let me go after you have raised and loved with so much for 12 weeks or so. I dont know if I will ever be strong enough that I dont bawl like a fool when I have to let them go. I want to keep them all.
I haven't had the misfortune of loosing a pup yet, but I understand it's very traumatic. I ball like a baby when mine leave my house....so, heaven forbid I loose one completely. I'd probably be horrified if I lost my mom....a comlete basket case that would have to be put away. Heck! the first time one of mine went into contractions I started crying.
