We took her in on Tuesday, the 8th and on the 9th, the other puppies in her litter came down with a virus. We thought we had gotten her out from the other puppies in time but one day as we were out for a walk, she ran into her mother and began nursing. We believe this is where she contracted the virus and sadly, this morning we woke up and found that she had passed away.
Our vet said that we should not get a puppy in our yard any time soon since the virus is highly contagious and our yard is not safe now. So, it looks like we will be waiting at least until we move to Mizque before looking at a new dog.
Please be praying for us as we transition to Mizque on January 4th. We have so much to look forward to but we also have some sorrow as well.
Thank you everyone.

What a sweet, sweet pup Riley was! How fortunate Riley was to have lived with you even if only for a few days! I am reminded of the song that Steven Curtis Chapman sang when he lost his precious daughter, "Blessed be the name of the Lord...He gives and takes away." How true it is. God gave us His son only to bear the brutality of the cross. Thankfully, that wasn't the end of the story. Neither is this the end of your story, dear Kevin and Lisa! :)
Beautiful puppy. That is sad, but we're looking forward to your trip to Mizque (sp?) as well..and praying as always!
Sorry to hear about your puppy.
