| Diane,
You and your family have my deepest sympathy for your loss. I remember reading the happy post when Darla's litter was whelped....and the very, very sad posts that followed...
Every once in a while; there's a special dog WITH HEART whelped.... Darla's might have been weak physically....but her spiritual heart never, ever quit. That young girl's heart was attached to a soul that ran very deep......
I really believe that with every dog we love... we're given those dogs to show us different things and teach us..
Darla's struggles and fights..... sure do say to me "never give up. Fight till the end. When the physical fight ends; it won't matter because you've touched so many and made THEM stronger that in very good ways; the fight continues..."
How lucky are you to have been given the gift of a dog that has shown so many valuable lessons in HEART. A strong heart...not a weak one.
Happy romping, Darla! Don't you worry about a thing.... lots of people will take care of your MaMa until you can do it again. Go have some fun......
