Sara, thank you for giving of yourself so selflessly and for giving your momma and her babies love and life. You have my deepest respect and gratitude. I'm sure there are no greater rewards than seeing this special family thrive. I pray that each day that they will get stronger and healthier. |
Thank you...that was very sweet of you to say. I would like to think that I am not different from most of the people here. GOD brought this girl into my life for a reason. He implanted her deep within my heart and my heart does not know that I did not give birth to her, or have her every second that she has been alive. Therefore, for me there was never any question on what I would do to save her. Just like if it was for my own 3 kids and 2 grandkids. I would not have been able to live with myself if I sat around and did absolutely nothing. Dogs have always been my passion and at one time I did want to become a vet but could not stand the thought of having to put a dog down or watch it's owner's let it die.
Thank you for the prayers also. So far all of them are doing real good. Mom's problem is still her BM's. They are soft but she is still moaning with them. Sent vet a text to keep him updated. Other than that everything else is going just fine. 2 of the puppies are now using a infant bottle. The other 2 just cant get their mouths open to suck it. All are gaining weight so fast. The biggest is up to 4.2 and the baby is now 2.8. I did wake up to the boy trying to nurse on mom. Don't know if it worked or not but he did not want too much formula. On the next feeding I will try to put a different dog there so I can weigh it before and after and see if there is anything. With the boy that is hard to do since he doesn't leave her.
