Welcome back to another UPDATE at Lamgo Farms! I’m so happy you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening with our Family, Farm and Furry Friends.
I’m so excited to get back to updating everyone on what is happening on the farm and in our family life.
As many already know, last year I lost my dad to congestive heart failure. He had been struggling for years to keep up his weight and although he had many close calls, we just became comfortable with his hospital visits and making a full recovery.
Tragically, dad’s heart was just done and he passed away rather quickly which has taken quite a toll on my family. Dad was a corner stone in my life.
A little history- I was born on a Bison ranch. My parents ran one of the largest Bison ranches in Missouri. Horses, cows, Buffalo and even a peacock were just part of life back then.
A long story and book later- my parents did divorce and my mom took us back to her home state, Colorado, where I grew up visiting my Grandma’s sheep/chicken/turkey farm each weekend in Loveland, CO.
My entire life has been on farms and ranches and just surrounded by life of every kind.
And in the world of animal husbandry- loss is a reality. Just this morning, my hubs told me one of our mini horses delivered a stillborn -sweet gray and white baby girl. Phil gave momma “Star” time to say goodbye but refused to leave. She followed my husband to the gate as he took her little girl away.
Especially with horses- this will take time for momma to grieve. Horses struggle with grief when they lose a child. She has been going back to the birth spot all day. Extra love and just being there with her is all we can do.
It’s such a helpless feeling. But it sparked a thought for me when it comes to humans losing their own. Many of you already know we lost our second child, William to HLHS- a rare heart defect. So I know a little something about what Star is going through.
Yesterday was a Medical day for me in Dallas. During treatment my husband and the doctor were chatting about how school is starting in just two weeks and how that time just gets closer and closer each year.
Once we reached the car- Phil became quiet. His solemn voice broke a little as I was paying attention to the pretty yellow and orange flowered vines escaping the SMU campus wall. “These parents ‘of the flood victims’ are going to be in even more pain now as school supplies are on the shelves and commercials.” The other families going about their normal lives and here sets the empty.
My heart aches as we so helplessly look on the horror from the outside knowing there is not one thing we can do to fix this. Not one thing. Like with Star- we can be there. We can cry with them and talk about their children. But we can’t make it better.
If you take one thing away from this please store this in a file somewhere in your mind; that when it comes to dealing with a bereaved parent- just be there. Just show up with a coffee. Don’t talk. Just listen and be there.
We have had funeral after funeral all around Texas the past week and a half. And still going as bodies are recovered. Right now- the shock of it all and the amazing support of family and friends and complete strangers are helping these parents to gain the next breath when they would just like to join their children.
Be mindful that when the flowers and meals and visits stop is the most lonely and cold time in a parent of loss’ life. Don’t forget the dads in this. Don’t say, “if you need anything just call.” You won’t get that call.
Just show up and keep showing up no matter how painful it is to watch this from the outside. These families need real people to show up and walk with them through this until they get their own footing to take each breath and step and walk into the next chapter of their lives carrying the death of their children with them.
This is a heavy topic for a puppy blog I know. But Lamgo Farms started because of loss and my child’s death will not be in vain. I have always believed it was my calling to keep his legacy of supporting others to honor his little life.
I’ll end on this note. Thank you all so much for the love and prayers for my mom and myself. She had two heart attacks and is now in congestive heart failure and is in stage 4 kidney failure. I am her care taker. So I appreciate all of the understanding and patience you’ve given while I tend to her needs.
You will see I do not have puppies available at this time and nothing for the remainder of the summer or fall.
We are inseminating now and praying it takes for our mini Sheepadoodles, A Charmin cream and peanut butter mini goldendoodle litter and our Ethel red mini double doodle litter. These litters, if breeding is successful, will go home the beginning of December.
Yes, it is possible to board your puppy here until December 23 if needed.
As I’m slowing down- the litter numbers are also slowing down. If you are wanting a Lamgo Farms puppy this year- check out our current babies available. We are also taking deposits on future litters once pregnancy is confirmed.
