A Dog’s Tail Tale…Koko’s Ultrasound Results
Written by Pam on April 6, 2015
With a heavy heart I am writing this blog to all my HGT Lab families that were on my lab list for our next chocolate litter. We had Koko’s pregnancy ultrasound done on, Saturday, 4/4/15, and it revealed that Koko did not conceive. We are all surprised at this result but we still have high-hopes that she will conceive during her next heat cycle. In hindsight, I was truly going to give Koko a well-deserved break this time around – so maybe it was destined for her not to have a litter this time.
Going forward there will be other happenings here at HGT that I want to offer my HGT Lab families:
1) Koko’s daughter, Ty-Ty, will be in-line for her OFA health clearances and PRA. If she succeeds in these clearances, she will be a part of our breeding program. This process will happen in June when Ty turns two. Should you want to wait for this litter, please let me know by return comment, email or phone.
2) We will try a repeat breeding of Koko and Bojangles during her next anticipated heat cycle. If you want me to hold your name on this list, I will do this.
3) I will be calling some of my close breeder friends who might have chocolates on the ground – to see if I can lift the weight that I carry of not being able to meet the expectations of this litter.
Again I am very sorry, but these things happen and I will try my very best to place a pup in your lives, but it will now take more time. Sincerely, Pam
IT (This Time) Never Comes Again by Richard Henry Stoddard.
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it (This Time) never comes again.
We are stronger and are better,
Under manhood’s sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And (This Time) will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it (this time) will never come again.
