Hi guys,
I know some of you know that I lost my darling poodle last November at the age of 16. Broke all of our hearts. Haven't looked for a dog, haven't wanted one, still grieving for her. Well-- about 4 weeks ago, I had a dream about her in which she led me to a little puppy. I think that was her way of saying, Mom, it's time for you to let go and go on. Up until that dream, both my husband and I (know you are gonna think I am crazy) still felt her here with us. I would wake up in the night and hear the sounds she would make digging to get a comfortable spot, I would smell her. After the dream, my husband said to me, you know I don't feel Sugarlump anymore. We think she stayed around to help me through the grieving process and finally went on to wait for me at Rainbow Bridge.
Something prompted me to send my cousin an email and ask him if he was going to breed Lillie again. Lillie is a Chihuahua, and I just don't think I can get another poodle, and Chihuahuas were my second choice having had two of them before. Lordie, Cabo, his male, had sneaked in again!! Lillie was due in three weeks!! Puppies were born on July 15th. She had 5 puppies. I had wanted a female and she had only one female. So she is MINE!! She is a light chocolate color, with cream at the snout and jawline and a white blaze the runs from under her chin all the way across her chest and down her belly. Of course, no decent pictures yet, but when I get some I will share.
I wanted to share this wonderful news with all my friends on this forum, because some of you have cried with me and listened to me when I cried and I can't thank you enough for your support.
Of course, now I am worried that she is healthy, and that things will work out. Lillie's other litter by Cabo were beautiful puppies, bright eyed, and healthy, so see no reason these won't be either. Am to get her somewhere around the end of August.
Please keep up in your prayers.
Sorry to be so long winded.
