Praying for you!

Thank you all. I "know" it's not my fault but my heart is so heavy knowing that it was a mistake that happened due to me and I know no one blames me who bought the puppies. I have been supportive and helped in the means of informing them of everything as well as giving the name to our vets for theirs to consult with on a medication route as well. I spent a good hour on the phone with rj's momma yesterday explaining how he'd feel and what to expect and what to do if certain things happened. All of the puppies are such gentle souls and I can't explain how special they are.... Every person who has gotten one has said they have been the best behaved, easiest puppies they have ever had and there is a bond they have formed with them that is just above and beyond what they have ever had with another dog. These dogs feel so much and become so ingrained in their families they know what is asked before it happens. I have had that feeling with sadie from day one and it warms my heart to know that each person a pup went to feels this way as well. But it crushes me to know that this is happening as I know how it tore and tears is apart each time a seizure happens and not knowing how much longer you have with them..... Sigh. To top it all off, I'm a very empathic person and far less that happens to animals and people I don't know personally really weighs on my heart so something this close to home has really been hard for me. I have laid it at gods feet and I know what he chooses will happen. It will still be hard no matter what but I've made peace that its out of our control and to just love every minute we do have with her.

Well it seems he hasn't had any others since the one early Sunday. So that is good! We had to drive in a snowy nightmare to go and pick up my new vehicle. Ugh. Of course it's been beautiful the past several weeks but as soon as we have to drive there hours one way the weather turns. We made it home safe. Now to try to relax before driving tomorrow morning on cruddy roads to work....

Well Sam, that is all any of us can do. As you are very well aware of, "Life" comes and goes for people and animals each and every day. When it comes there isn't a guarantee that comes with it except it will not last forever, even tho we may wish it to be different. Some spend many yrs with some of their animals and friends and family. For some reason we lose "Sight" of that fact, because we all want to be around to enjoy all that are around us. When the reality of life does come, we seem to think that there is blame to be laid on someone or some thing that is the "Cause" of the loss. When the real fact is that with "Life" comes "Death".
We have no idea how long any has when they are born, and health doesn't always factor into the equation. Many are taken at a very young age due to unforeseen circumstances, and accidents of all kinds.
At the beginning of all this you were grasping for answers, now ya have one, but your power over it and "Life" has not changed the facts of "Life". Your attention is focused on it, because ya are aware of it and are anticipating the uncontrolable factor, because of the knowledge. However, we all are sitting in the same "Seat" as you, because none of us has a Clue when something will happen to any of our animals, and the "Shock" comes when the "Facts of Life" does come "Knocking at the Door".
So, that is why it is very important to Enjoy every moment we do have with all that we have every single day, because the day will come that either they or we won't be there anymore.

I do not say this in any kind of a mean, nasty way...or with a harsh tone, but until ya have the "Power" over the "Fact" it will continue to occur with or without your personal "Blessing". So, in reality, we are ALL in the very same "Boat" that you are in, because none have that "Power".
