Bella's retiring now rabbit? that sounds like she might be relieved ๐
Yes awful to miss out by 35 minutes.. very disappointing, but what can you do?
I had a distressing time when I lost my first poodle. I was so keen to get another and found a registered kennel in Launceston. Emailed and got to know the woman well. Her little girl was pregnant and I would be able to have a female providing, of course, there was a female in the litter.
Anyway a couple of weeks later she rang me in tears... the little mother had become ill and it was discovered one of the pups had died, thus giving her blood poisoning... it meant the other pups had to be delivered and of course they were too young to survive... she was heart broken and so was I, it was awful... The woman retired her girl.
She put me onto another kennel who had the same stud for their lass. She delivered successfully and after having to wait such a long time I finally got my Gem... she was the first in Tasmania to not have her tail cut off, she went with her siblings to the vet wearing a white ribbon on her tail ๐ .. just shortly after the law came in banning it.
Sorry, just waffling on... your pups reminded me ๐
