Hello to everyone. I wanted to post a cute picture of our new baby Lucy but when I tried to attach it it was way too big and now I can't delete this post. But I will try again later.
-------------------- Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.
Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them. |

Thanks, Ann -I was able to shrink it down. I think it will work this time.
Yes, everyone, we have our new girl Lucy. Sometimes she reminds me of Allie in a good way, and other times it makes me very sad, because I just want Allie back. And sometimes Lucy is so different that I realize that I'll never be able to find another dog quite like Allie. I swear to you, one of the many great things about Allie is she did not smell like dog! When I walked in our door last night it smelled like dog and I know it is Lucy. But these are trivial things that don't determine how much we can love. I've only cried once over Allie since Saturday when we got Lucy. Lucy is a very sweet and loving pup. She is also teething and her teeth are sharp! Any advice for teaching her not to bite? I've tried closing her mouth with my hands and saying "No bite" very firmly. It works for about two seconds and then she forgets again. I miss Allie so much, but I really am enjoying Lucy. And she and Norah are getting along famously. By the way, I will also post a picture of Norah so you can all see. Thank you all for your support since Allie died. I truly believe I would not be where I am today in the grieving process if it hadn't been for all of you. I will always miss and love Allie, but I also look forward to bonding more with Lucy and Norah. Love, Jenny
