We never tell you that several times through the years we swore this would be our last litter because the heartbreak you sometimes experience is unbearable, only to turn around and do it all over again. We never tell you that after 8 weeks of raising these precious babies that we are worried sick if we had chosen their family correctly and pray you’ll love them as much as we do. We never tell you all the nights we sleep in the whelping box to make sure mom and babies are ok.or the nights we are sleeping beside them on the couch and have an alarm set for every 2 hours because we are exhausted but don’t want to miss anything. We never tell you that even after days of countless efforts trying to save this beautiful 16 oz baby, sometimes, God still has other plans. We never tell you that several times through the years we’ve found ourselves holding this little life at 3am with tears rolling down our face, praying this baby makes it. Running on 2 pots of coffee and we most of the time we forget to even eat. We never tell you that we stay up for a pretty much 2 weeks straight watching the newborn babies every breath. We never tell you how many tears we shed when a baby is born not breathing and despite all efforts we lose them. We never tell you that after being up all night and all other options exhausted we’ve sometimes still ended up in c-section and losing one of those precious babies anyway.
We never tell you that we’ve been up for 24+ hours straight watching moms every move, patiently waiting for labor to progress. We never tell you the worry we have over the 9 weeks gestation as we watch our girls like hawks to ensure they don’t end up with pyometra. The drop of a hat jump in the car NOW to travel states away to the stud when your girl ovulates 3-4 days before expected. We never tell you the countless hours gone in to planning a breeding, going over pedigrees, health testing and learning personalities and temperaments. ?❤️?Things that breeders never tell you.?❤️? Many prayers to Paulette’s family & Friends ??❤️ Paulette was a retried music teacher in EACS district.
I type this as tears run down my face, there is so much more to Coopers story that breaks my heart ? but again now isn’t the time.Ĭooper lost his best friend…his human mom, I lost a friend and the world lost a beautiful loving soul. Cooper is such a sweet boy and is sure to thrive and soak up all of the love his new family has to give. He’s had so much fun playing with many of his kin here in the last couple months. Cooper is out of Rambo’s Blak Tie Affair(Titan) and Rambo’s Peace of Graceland(Gracie). Cooper is turning a bit silver at 7 years old now, his birthday was 12/27. Cooper has a special family headed here from Illinois that can’t wait to meet him, love and cherish him for the rest of his life. The happy part is Cooper has been loved like one of our own as every boxer/dog that visits our home. There is much more to the story but I’ll save that for another time. His mom Paulette sadly passed away 2 weeks ago. I picked him up from his home on 12/26 and he’s been here since while his mom was recovering. He was with us for 12 days before Christmas and was thankfully able to spend Christmas with his mom before she was hospitalized again on 12/26. Today is an extremely emotional day, both happy and sad.Įxtremely sad that Cooper lost his best friend, his human mom Paulette.
