Helen,
Thank you for posting this reminder. I wish people wouldn't blow it off just
because they haven't experienced a tragedy (YET). I left an older bitch and a
4 mo puppy loose in the yard unsupervised for 10 min several years ago while I
ran to the store. I thought it would be all right because they had spent a lot
of time in the house and yard together and seemed like the best of friends. I
had kept 3 bitches loose in the house and yard together for years before that
with no problems. When I got home, my new show prospect puppy was lying
motionless on the ground. with her throat torn out. She was not dead yet, and
I rushed her to the vet. There was nothing they could do. I lost my beautiful
puppy and had the older bitch put down. Now I have a brood bitch and her year
old bitch puppy. While they have been together since the puppy's birth, and
run in the house and yard together when I am close by and my eyes are 110% on
them, they are kenneled separately when I am not watching. Writing, and
remembering, this makes me want to throw up. But I hope this example will
result in your being taken more seriously in this matter.
