Well I am speechless.. first off admiration is all I can say about you... making such a personal thread to help a puppy... your daughter is really blessed..
I saw this thread and read your post.. I could not figure out the why's, I was not only sitting here with a huge beating heart for you, but felt you like I knew you for a long time. As I am reading all the posts.. I am slowly figuring out what was going on.. and I am sorry but I must go and find this thread if it is still around.. I cannot imagine anyone putting dena down for trying to save a puppy.. although I know that to many.. there is no person at the ends of there posts.. they are just going to cyberspace somewhere.. and for this I have to say is really sad...sad that people do not think of themselves as human, caring, or still vulnerable in their lives to maybe yet go through such trials and tribulations as you have gone through.. or dena for trying to save a puppy called emma..
I am so glad I found this thread.. have seen people be so human as everyone is being that have posted.. and that there has been no negative here.. It saddens me..
I have gracie and although gracie did not have huge issues.. she was born tiny and was not strong enough to suckle.. so at midnight I was given a refresher on how to tube feed.. I was so nervous and so scared for her.. I did it.. should I say we did it. my hubby and I tube fed her together for two weeks.. yes it as only two weeks but we were about exhausted.. from lack of sleep or stress of losing her.. maybe both.. but she survived.. and I can still hear my husband when he was first to the bedroom she was in.. he was so happy for she was suckling on her own..Dena will become attached as we did with Gracie and no one would have been good enough to have this baby.. she is now two and has to be cuddled in our arms like a baby when she is tired.. she has a whine that only comes out of her mouth at this time of need..
I need to find more of what has been happening on emma..
I have been away a lot this summer.. we have been doing major work.. so I was lost on this..
again thanks.. your special..... anne |
