I would like to share a story with you if I may;
Once upon a time, there was a husband who loved his wife more than she could believe. He was a wonderful husband and an amazing father.
The family made a move to another state and things were NOT good there. So the loving husband bought his sad, homesick wife a beautiful little dapple puppy they named Roxie! Roxie was so loving and had a unique personality all her own. She brought happiness to the family, especially the wife.
After several years the husband unexpectedly passed away, leaving a grieve stricken wife, children and little doggy. Roxie watched for him to come home from work each day, all the while keeping the wife company and giving unconditional love.
It came about that the wife decided to give the dog to her grandson because he loved her so much and the wife thought it best for her to be with him and his family.
Because Roxie was a gift from such a wonderful man and step father it was decided that she should have another litter of puppies so that part of the man could continue to bless our lives. With that purpose she was mated and the wait began.....
Finally yesterday Roxie went into labor. After laboring for a while it became apparent that she was in trouble. She was rushed to the vet where they tried at first unsuccessfully, to remove the puppies via forceps. After giving her medicine to intensify her contractions they were able to remove 3 puppies. All boys. We had to have a little dapple girl....we just HAD to! It was decided that an x-ray needed to be taken to determine how many more puppies were inside. They found 2 more puppies unable to make it down the birth canal. So they preformed an emergency c-section. When they took Roxie into surgery they came and informed us that the first puppy did not make it. We all burst into tears for our lost little baby. Only after many tears did we realize that the husband in heaven now had his own little puppy.
While Roxie was in surgery they let us have the puppies in with us, we held them and loved them and cried with joy and sorrow. Finally they came and gave us the news....the 2 little puppies were doing well and they where BOTH females....one dapple like her mother!!! We shouted with joy!! Leanna now had her MattyMae, named after the loving husband and step father.
Mother and puppies are doing well. Our family has yet another bond cementing us even stronger together. Who would of thought puppies could mean so much?
Another example of how good life is!!! Live it!!!!
