Just Our Luck...

I know it probably sounds like we have a bazillion dogs but we really only have one---now. Brady wanted a dog that he could take with us when we're at the farm or riding horses and stuff so we decided to get a Border Collie. She was between 9-11 weeks ((we're guessing)) when we got her about a week ago. Her and Sadie got along GREAT and she was Davin's new best friend. The second day we had her Davin seriously was outside for FOUR hours playing with her. Well----this past friday we took her to the vet to get her vaccinations and something happened while the vet gave her the shots and-----the shots killed her. I know---we were way mad. Brady was burying her and Dav just kept saying "Puppy" and then Brady picked him up and said "Puppy is all gone" and Dav started crying and said "No Daddy"----Sad right?? Anyways...here are some pictures that I meant to post of her and Dav last week.

She looks just like a skunk

Mans best friend

She didn't move unless he moved first.

Its just our luck with dogs I guess. Sadie is the only one who hasn't ran away or died and I'm hoping she makes it for a really really long time. We first got Sadie when we got married. She was actually Brady's parents dog but Dave suggested we take her since I wasn't working--We thought I'd need a friend. She's a great dog. We got Dusti last year when she was 6 weeks old so Sadie would have a friend. She ran away about a month ago. While we had both Sadie and Dusti we got Susie from a litter of puppies Dave and Jens dogs had. She was my best friend--she was the littlest dog I'd ever seen and I seriously LOVED the heck out of her. She got a little playful one day and decided to jump in the water trough and couldn't get out. We're actually not sure how she got in there because she was so tiny. I BAWLED my eyes out. I called Bradys mom to tell her and I was crying so hard she couldn't understand me--She thought something happened to Davin so then she started crying! Then we got Bentlei and we completely couldn't stand her. She was a gorgeous dog though. Since we were down to one we decided to get ROXY---and then her shots killed her---think we should give up???
