I do not want to repeat this so I am pasting the situation froma private email I had with another BPO member. I just cannot keep reliving this.
I am totally up for a visit, I don't have the time off that you do, but we can work something
out! We don't have new puppies yet, I expect Beauty to come into heat again in 3 months and at that time we will be expecting!....
Sad news also, I think I told you that my son lost his lab 2 years ago this time of year, we promised him a new dog after we sold all Beauties pups this last summer. Brought a Cocker home, Kuvs did not like at all, so we rehomed him and I got Anthony a lab girl pup. 10 weeks old today...Yester day Steve (hubby) let her out to go potty with Aidan and Cali, she dissapeared! Steve called me at work and I came home we searched and searched, talked to neighbors, took teh snowmobile out and it was fruitless...We had fresh snow so it was easy to track Aidan and Cali, however Shadow (lab) prints did not leave the yard. You have ben here so know how big our yard is....There has been an Eagle hanging out last few days and Steve thinks it grabbed her....Her prints just dissapear....I am so upset, but worse was telling Anthony another oneof his dogs was gone...He was totally destroyed.I could not stop crying when he came home from school to train her some more and asked him to sit with me first. He just looked at me and said " No mommy, not my dog , not again!" He ran upstairs and I just cried, he came back down and laid against me and cried, I bawled like a baby...Steve feels so bad, he looked, she is gone.
Today he stayed home from school, and Steve took him to a home that had 3/4 Chessies and 1/4 lab pups. He picked a girl who is brown with black accents. Nose, ears, chest and tail. Anthony refused to pick a black girl because "I have bad luck with black dogs" This girl is very pretty however I was at work when they went, and when I called to find the birth day so I know whento give shots, I find that she is BARELY 4 weeks old. Go figure....She is beautiful, and full of spunk, no whining, no crying....I am still totally upset and want to case the woods and surrounding areas for Shadow. I realize she never left the yard, we had fresh snow they were easy to track but I have to be sure....I CANNOT believe she is gone, I CANNOT believe an Eagle grabbed her, although they have grabbed our cats. She was with the Kuv's! Our neighbor told us her poodle was grabbed right in front of her never to be seen again..DA**!!!! I cannot tell you how horrid this is.....
On a different note, this week I am off fri, sat, sun. Next week, I am off fri, sat sun. Let me know what you want to do! Shaan
ps. I am going to copy and post this on big paws as I don't want to keep repeating the story of our missing pup.....Shana
