So sad to report that the last born of our Dorsey and amina litter, born 12/27/11, is no longer part of our pack here, but waiting for us at the Bridge.

Her cleft palate was too bad to overcome, and our vet helped her go over today at only 3 days old.

Good bye tiny girl, wait for us!

Oh no, I'm sorry for your loss Terry.

I'm very sorry to hear this. So sad to lose a new life.

I'm so sorry. It's vehard to lose such a baby.

i'm so sorry to here of your loss

So sorry for your loss. Hugs to the other babies

So sorry for your loss, poor little baby. But to think she is perfect on that side of the Bridge!!!

I am so sorry for the loss. We know we are probably going to lose some puppies, but it is still so hard and so sad.

One bit of news is that AKC is helping fund a cleft palate genetics study. Hopefully in the future, we will be able to do DNA tests to determine the cause.

So sad to lose a babe. Sorry.

A loss at any age is sad - a baby, even worse. So sorry.

That brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. Buddy's Pal said it beautifully - "she is perfect on that side of the Bridge".
Oh, how they are all perfect… no matter what.

So sorry.. so sad to loose a baby.
