I'm excited... Daisy liked the Beneful Prepared meal (Savory Rice and lamb stew) that Steve brought. Now she did not eat a huge amount, but she's a little dog. She probably ate about 3 tbs. She seemed to really like it. She doesn't want to leave the babies even to eat. I have the bottom half of the crate within the Play yard... I have one of those large pee pads on one end. The food is outside the crate....she only hops out to go potty (not her poops, though) or to drink water...but she won't eat. She does have dry kibble in there constantly. I think I saw her take one bite of it last night. We are going to try to take her out to go poop again...i hope she goes.
Needles...they have always been an issue for me. We had the tiny needles that come with the 1 cc syringes... so they were very small. My husband is very steady handed, and deals with animals all day. he's a farrier, so 3 oz. yorkie babies can be a little intimidating for him, but he sure stepped up to the job! He's told me of times where he's working on a lame horse, drains an abscess, and "stuff" comes spurting out!!! Ick...I don't ever want to see that. he just takes it in stride.
I'm so thankful for the opportunity to serve someone else... I didn't get to go to church this week due to puppy watching, but my girls went and it is the beginning of Compassion month at our church. Our goal as a church is to do something out of the ordinary to serve someone that you don't normally interact with or even know all month....isn't God good? He gave me the opportunity before I even heard the sermon! It has been a blessing to my heart to be able to be blessing to someone else... a stranger even! If you could have seen the look on Steve's face, I can't imagine having not helped him. He was so tired and overwrought... I know he worked really hard to save those other babies....
so thanks for the kudos...but to GOD be all the glory!
Sorry for going on, but I'm feeling very joyful today...
