So sorry. It's so hard on the LGD's, and as we have found out, it is hard on the goats when they lose a dog. Just breaks my heart.

So sorry for your loss FEM. Cowboy is such a good boy, I'm sure the ol' girl was comforted by having Cowboy by her side during her last moments

They really were a pair. And, I was surprised at her passing. She was 'as usual' yesterday... But, if ya gotta go - why not be in your favorite resting place, surrounded by your friends? I'm sure it was peaceful - she was just curled up in a sleeping position, no thrashing, not a hair out of place.

I've got another doe that will be 15 if she makes it a few more months. And, I feel she will. She's a cranky old gal that doesn't look a day over 10, lol.

That is so sweet and sad. I read it to my husband and he teared up at Cowboy grieving over the loss of his friend. What a good dog. DH is blowing his nose now and told me for you to not write a story like that again.

It truly was one of the most heart wrenching things I've ever seen.

We start kidding in about 6 weeks and hopefully Cowboy will love the new babies as much as he loved his old gal!

So sorry FEM...and Cowboy deserves one too...
She did have a full life, and glad it was a peaceful passing. That is what we are hoping for our old girl, she is soon to be 10 this year, and tho the Boys sometimes terrorizes her, they are really going to miss her too. Even tho ya expect it, it still touches ya to lose them....

I'm sorry. Things like that are always hard; it's like our children grieving for a pet. And we can't even explain it to the dogs which makes it harder. Hope he finds a new 'bestie', you will have to let him pick out his very own goat.

What a good dog. What a sad experience for him and all involved. Poor guy. Hopefully he'll bond with the babies soon to come.

They are ALL adorable!

.....Hate to be a partypooper, but I'd be very concerned that this breeder is already letting people come out and see the pups this young.....that's parvo waiting to happen

Sorry, you can me now

That being said, I still wanna smooch them

In all my years we never had a dog with parvo! A couple years ago we had a litter of the nicest border collie pups. And they suddenly started to get sick at about three month old. Turned out to be parvo, how it happened we can't figure out. I ended up loosing one of the best little females I have seen in a long time! The rest the vet managed to save at a huge cost to the pocket book. I too would not let anyone come see them before they got their first parvo shot after that experience.
