I also agree with your husband, but, what would I know.

Mardelin, how premature was your puppy and is her health alright now. Did you have any problems?
Faith and her litter were approximately a week early. I lost 2 of her brothers almost immediately. Lungs undeveloped. Faith and her brother Nolan, did fine and were eating well. However, the day I docked their tails and removed dew claws, I noticed Faith began some labored breathing. I began to cry and thought I was going to lose her too. But, she never missed a beat, continued to nurse off her mother like gang busters. I monitored her very closely and within a week the breathing was fine. Took her into the vet to make sure all was fine. Is she fine????? My goodness other than being 4 pounds at 6 months (I'd really love her to be closer to 6) If she gets to that magic 5 pounds...she'll be championed.....she's a holy terror.....beats up on everyone, thinks she's the boss and bigger than she is.
