Bitsy,
Thanks so much for the kind words re my "Katie". I really am looking forward to this new little one. I had such a "Yorkie" hole in my heart for Kate. When I went to see the puppies when they were first born, the owner said something about KatyDid.....I asked him if that was the mom's name and he said it was. I knew I was supposed to have this puppy. Therefore that's where the "KK" comes from!! I talked to him today and he told me she had stopped eating last Friday and they took her to the vet. Nothing wrong.......to just keep trying to get her to eat. They went to Shoney's that night and brought home left over smothered steak and ground it up and fed it to the baby. He said she ate over the weekend and they fed her the steak again Monday.
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to feed a baby that small that table food but he said she loved it. He said today that while we were talking she was playing and jumping all over her kennel trying to climb up the sides. I told him she wants her mama!! He told me to call tomorrow (Friday) night or Saturday AM and they would decide if I could have her according to how she was eating. He said he wanted to make sure she was thriving so I wouldn't bad mouth his kennel. I have already sent them several people and recommended them. I just have to convince them that I can take good care of her. We have taken previous pets to LSU Vet School and I spent $1200 on my lab last fall to get her hip repaired at a vet 50 miles from us at a large animal hospital like "Animal ER"!! I think I can feed her something better than table food!!
I am so glad I found this site. You all have been so much help already!! Will keep you posted!!
