Have never had to post here. Josey had her pup yesterday it was a singleton and we lost him. He had a hard time coming butt first, first litter for her also, his lungs were too full of fluid tried everything we could to keep him going he lasted about 2 hours then just could not keep going.
It is very sad to loose a puppy especially when it is the only one you got!
My little 7 year old Brandon was very upset he held that little puppy for a long time crying over him, had a talk with him about loosing puppies the pros and cons of having puppys, and what risks we take when we have them, part of breeding these little guys. I told him we can always have more puppies but can never get another Josey. Is so sad Josey is carrying around a little stuffed animal with her today curling up with it and licking it, I feel so bad for her.
Also a year ago today my dad passed away with CHF so is a hard day for Brandon in that respect also.(And myself).
He wants to bury it, but the ground is froze so my mom is going to wrap it up and keep it froze till spring so we can have a funeral for it. Very important for kids to have an ending with death. He asked this am right away were the pup was I told him out in the garage and he cried" but it is so cold out there mom"
I feel so bad for him he is wrestling today and did not want to go so I am hopeing he does okay. And I told him the little one was in heaven and he knows about this site and wanted all you to know about the puppy we lost.

Oh my I am sorry for your loss. I also have lost pups over the years for one reason or another. My heart goes out to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. And Josey...so pitiful carrying around the stuffed animal. Take care.

I am sorry for your loss.
I agree about burying the pup, my son lost his bunny in november and it helped him to have a burial (it was his suggestion).
My thoughts are with you all xx

What a tough lesson for little Brandon and I am so sorry for your loss. You handled it perfectly with him.

How's momma?

It is so hard to lose the little ones, they just got here. And it is so hard on the mothers too. That is one of the hard realities of breeding dogs.

How very sorry I am to hear this news. Wow Brandon is learning a tough lesson of life.

011011 · 02-11-2006, 08:16 PM

Josey is feeling a little better finally ate something but is still hanging on to her toy or stitting in my lap, getting a little possesive of anyone else around me when she is sitting there. So we have had a few spats with the others.
Our male is very crabby also today just not himself. I am watching my 3 week old grandson tonight and every time he cries Josey gets upset whines and tries to smell or comfort him. It will take time but she will heal just like the rest of us.
Brandon is still very upset he did okay today wrestling though won all 3 matches. But wants to know when spring is coming so we can bury that puppy.Death is such a hard thing even when you are prepared for it. But is a fact of life also. He sat here and read these with me and said all those ladys "are they ladys mom or men" I told him probably both but "they are very nice arnt they mom". I told him yes and alot of them have lost puppys or dogs to, he replied "they know how sad I am then dont they". And of course I told him yes they do. He smiled and gave me a hug.
Thank you all for your replies they made us feel a bit better.
