Hi, Just joined and have learned so much in reading some of the things. Sounds like some people would have a good start at going to vet school. I have no children at home. All my 3 are married and I have 4 wonderful grandchildren. Then My 2nd family began. PRIOR TO THIS we always had a family dog. Now we have 4 little ones. Rocky and Baby came to us via a vet friend who bred her maltese to a 3# yorkie. i had lost my dog of a lifetime just a jew months before and wanted never to have another dog. She insisted,so! Then in an effort to get a dog for family member I bred Baby to a white poodle. 2 puppies later, gave 1 to family and kept 1,name of Teddybear. Then bred her again back to yorkie, to get my sister a puppy. She had 7 and 5 puppies lived. We gave 1 to sister, kept 1, PoohBear. Then sold 3 of puppies to my friends clients. Poohbear is another dog of a lifetime. We love them all but we are learning the problems new to us of multiple dogs as apposed to one dog. I am hoping to learn some things from all of you on how to deal with some of these problems...Will post pics as soon as I learn how to do it. Everyone is healthy except Pooh has Pancreatitis and IBS. She is 7 now, 5 when her first attack occurred. We have learned so much about this terrible disease and if anyone needs help we can give what we know. I am real excited just reading some of the things you are all sharing. This is a great help to all. Wish I had found you sooner, like back when I almost lost her and she was anorexic. How frightening. Thanks to each and everyone of you who sit down and take the time to help. It is so very nice and refreshing to experience this sharing.
