I wanted to ad to Kathy's post and tell you all how Angel got her name.....When Angel was first born her mother, our beloved late Emmelie, started taking Angel out of the box away from the rest of the puppies. We never really figured out why. Like Kathy said we took Angel to the vet many times to make sure there was nothing going on that we could not see. The funny thing was Angel was always warm and fed when Kathy would find her. She was never crying like she was upset or hungry. Kathy took over feeding and caring for Angel around the clock. I will never forget when she told me she had decided to call her Angel...when I asked why she said because she figured she was going to be an Angel here on earth if everything she was doing worked or she would be an Angel in heaven if our efforts failed. Angel has always had a very strong will to live. ALWAYS. She may be small but Michele can attest to this...she lets you know exactly what she wants and nothing gets in her way when she has her sights set on something. I am so grateful Angel made it through this horrible experience safely. Kathy and I were very worried about Michele and Angel. I have attached a photo of Kathy and Angel when our girl was a little bitty thing eating from a bottle! She was three weeks old at the time. You can see how small she was in the second picture of her. |
