Oh Yes!! A new fresh start
 

I sadly had to put my little sick puppy to sleep in february, he was 6 months.
Things are getting so much better and we are waiting for a new little one.
Today the breeder sent me a PM on Facebook, she is certain that there is puppies because the mommas tummy is big. She will be due in the last days of april :)

We are so happy now, looking foreward to a new fresh start :D
Just wanted to share this happy feeling with you guys!

I'm sorry for your loss. But, congratulations on the new pup. Hoping all goes well with mama's pregnancy. We can't wait to see pictures!

I am sooo sorry for the loss of your first puppy :( but I'm so happy that your heart has healed enough to be able to welcome a new member of the family in! Congrats on the news. Praying that everything goes well for the momma dog and her puppies. May your new baby be very healthy!

I'm so sorry for your loss of your first puppy.

Praying the whelping goes smoothly and best of luck with your new baby!

So sorry for your loss, but really happy you'll be getting another puppy to love!

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, i hope everything goes well with the birth and the pups. The breeder has 30 years of experience, and is one of norways leading breaders. She has good helathy dogs and she has been a wonderful support during the difficult times that we had. Im glad we got this breeder!

I will post pictures, when i get them from the breeder.

Now I am acting like a silly mom whaiting for a new baby ;) Have knitted dog sweater to the puppy and chrocheted a dog bed, have baught fabric so that i can sew a dog bed. I also plan to sew a t-shirt. I have lots of stuff from the other puppy, like clothes and toys. But does that stop me? No... I baught recently some small dog tennis balls so the puppy can have them outside to play with :D
The kids think Im weird making all this things to the pup, but i enjoy it and thinks it makes the waiting time a little shorter.

Congradulations. I know you must be so exicited. Are you planning on getting a girl or boy if you have a choice?

Thank you. We want a boy, but if there is none then my family will discus it.
A girl is the second choice, but it doesnt mean that its a bad choice :)

If it makes you feel any better, I'm doing the exact same thing for my new little girl who is coming home next month. Although, I'm not making anything myself because I have enough trouble sewing the patches on my son's uniform. But it's almost like having a baby for me! I love getting everything ready for the homecoming :)

It truly is waiting for a baby, even if the baby has fur:D

I hope your new little one is healthy and that you enjoy many long happy years together.

Yeah, exactly! Im so exited and happy. Im looking foreward to see your little fur baby :) Your lucky that you have only a month left, for me 2 and a half month sems so loooong.... But when i think of all the nice things i could make, well he wont lack anything :D

Now Im knitting a warm cozy blanket that i he/she could have in the cage, and to tuck in to when its cold outside.

Your so right, it really is! Thank you, we hope so too :)

I'm so sorry for your loss..I'm also waiting for a new pup. My sisters dog had a litter of 2 boys on Wednesday and I will be getting one..Like you, I am thrilled and want to make and buy everything. Do you have any names chosen yet?

Yeah, we are a bunch of silly mommys :D
We do not have a name yet, the kids and i have written name sugestions on smal notes and put in a jar. We will find a name when they have been born.
What about your pup, do you have a name yet?

They are born!! *BIG smile* 2 girls and 2 boys.
Will post picture when i have resized the one i got from the breeder.

*Happy!*

Congratulations. I hope they are all healthy and that you will get a wonderful little boy. Or, maybe........ two??

Just kidding about 2 (kind of). Actually I love having multiples, and bringing home the last 2 little sister litter-mates was one of the best things I did. Although it's not the right choice for some people and circumstances.

Now your waiting begins for him to grow up enough to come home.

Congratulations!!!!

A bit late but congratulations! We want to see the picture!

I'm so happy for you. I lost my nearly 13 yo mini-Schnauzer last Sept & was not going to ever have another dog b/c of the pain of losing her, but as fate would hve it, this little baby (3 yo---7 lb) Yorkie, Milo, came my way in March. There was no way I could say no to his sweet face & I'm soooooo happy I hve him---such a joy! I know you're going to be just as happy with your new one! Keep us posted & give us pictues when available.

I'm trying to figure out how to insert pictures..

We have chosen a name and it's Rocky :love:

so sorry for your loss// glad you are getting a new puppy

Oh my goodness, they are so cute!!! Love the name too :coolsmile:

The new photos are adorable :love:

I am so sorry about your first puppy, but so proud for you on Rocky! They are all beautiful. My very first yorkie was named Rocky. I had to find him a home after we brought another into our household and he jumped on the new one. That broke my heart! He was put to sleep by his new owner in late January of this year. He had turned 17 years old last September 27. He lived a very good life! Good luck with your Rocky!

Sorry about your loss that couldn't have been easy. Hopefully this new little one will help mend your broken heart !

They sure are precious . .

They are all so cute. I know your family can hardly wait to get Rocky home.

Thank you, you are all so kind to me.
Yes Anniernc, we can hardly wait. Have knitted another Marius sweather for the dog, now in lime and purple :) This time i knitted in adult size.
Did i mention that i have knitted a blanket to him too? *Smiling*

The breader and I have planned when i can take him home, im flying to pick him up 9.july. Looking foreward to it!! He will be ten weeks when i take him home.

The rest of may is flying away, because we have so many things to do.
We are protestants and our eldest daughter is having her confirmation on the 26.may. We are also helping out on the 17.may celebration (Norways birthday), my husband is arranging fun playtime with the kids. Myself, and our jungest daughter, is helping to keep the place klean and tidy. Some have to take care of the garbage too ;)

On the 17.may many women and some men dresses up in bunad, many places in Norway have their own bunad. And no one is similar. I have the bunad from the county Nordland, the blue one. I can't wear mine on the 17.may, because i can get dirty. But when my daughter is having her confirmation i ,and many of the guests, will wear it. My daughter inherit her grandmas bunad, the green, and she is wearing it the first time on her confirmation. A bunad is very expensive, and its normal that the jung generation inherit it from the older ones. Its tradition here in Norway.

Hi friends!
I really need some advice now, cause i dont know what to do....

You know when you have a feeling of whats going to happend and then it happends? Well, i do have that feeling sometime.

And now my problem is that i have a feeling of that the new puppy is also going to suffer from liver shunt.
I dont know if this is a normal reaction after what i've been thru or if its going to happend...

And this is driving me nuts. I lay in bed at night thinking about it, i dream about it, and it crosses my mind several times in daytime. I'm now thinking that i should cancel the puppy, and buy from another breeder. But from who and when? I have ordered the plain tickets, and if i cancel the plain i wont get my money back. Oh, I really dont know what to do!!
PLEASE, help me out of this missery

I just found this thread. First off I'm sorry for your loss, I know it had to be hard. Second congrats on your new puppy I don't know which one in the littler is yours but they are all beautiful, I hope July gets here fast for you.

As for you question. With puppies I cannot relate. However I can relate with premature loss. 6 months is way too soon to say goodbye. I have 2 beautiful daughters 16 and 12. Before I had my eldest I suffered 2 miscarriages. The second I was 3 months along and took a major toll on me physically and emotionally. Doctors pinpointed what my issue was and several months later I was pregnant with Katie, took the needed medication to get us 4 months into the pregnancy and thus knocking my odds of loss at that point right in line with the general population of women with no pregnancy issues. Until I had her in my arms I was not convinced I would see her healthy and alive.

You suffered a tragic problem with your puppy from what I'm guessing was a liver shunt since this is what you are worried about. It's human nature, if you have encountered something once, you expect lightening to strike again. Until you get that puppy and your vet assures he is healthy, you will worry. Best advice is to do the best you can to stay positive. Pray to God for peace while you wait for what I truly believe is one of his 4-legged angels he places on this earth for us. And of course you can always come to this wonderful community for support.

I hope this helps and puts some things into perspective for you. What you are experiencing is natural.

Can't wait to see more pictures as your new baby grows.

Praying for God's peace for you while you wait.
