Hello!
I am glad to have found this website, its amazing! My last dog was a border collie, he was our family pet.
Tucker is my 5 month old Bernses Mountain dog puppy, I have always wanted one, but my husband has been saying "No more pets" since I brought home our second kitten a couple years ago.
However, life happens, and my husband and I found ourselves in a really dark place May 2007, when we lost our first (and only so far) baby, our daughter McKenna. She was stillborn on May 27, 2007 after suffering from a fetomaternal hemorrage. I was induced and delivered her 2 two days after her due date. She weighed 6 lbs, 15.7 oz and was absolutely perfect. It was a textbook, problem free pregnancy, and McKenna was strong and healthy. FMH is very rare, our doctors were speechless, they kept saying "this just doesn't happen". Well, it did, and it happened to us and tore the world we knew apart.
It has taken a lot of time, counselling, hope and faith to get us to where we are today, 14 months after our daughter passed away, and Tucker has helped so much. He was my Mother's Day present, May 11, 2008, and without him here now for me to take care of and raise, I don't think I could be in as happy and hopeful place as I am.
We are going to keep trying for another baby, but until we are blessed with a little brother or sister for McKenna, we are thankful that our fur-kids are here with us.
Thanks for listening.
Sarah
