I'll be off-line for about 3 weeks. But, I didn't want to sign off without saying Thank You to all of you.
It's been my pleasure to give assistance to those that have asked for it and even those that haven't........What is greater pleasure is to see how some have become more passionate for the yorkie than I am.
The last 2 weeks have been very stressful for me, as I've done something I never thought I'd do. I whelped 2 litters within 48 hours......What I've learned from that is I never plan to do that again. I'd never lost a pup in my breeding endevors, this time I lost 2.... mommie delivered prematurely. I lost 1 the first 24 hours and the 2nd at a week old.....Nursing, meds, hand feeding could not save them....their lungs were not developed enough to pull them through. The good thing is that 2 out of the 4 made it and they are fat and sassy
I don't know how I'd have survived had it not been for my husband....what a great whelper and my rock. While I'm off to dog shows in Texas, he's staying at home taking care of the yorkie crew, mommies, babies and the rest.
Once again thank you all so much.
