No Ozzie, only Harriet Where have I been for a month ? Well here is my story. Right after I decided not foster any more, I desperate call for help. I was told a very pregnant Yorkie mix had been tied to a pole in Wal-mart's parking lot. Several people who work there know me.
What were the rotten people who dumped this baby thinking ?
Anyway I went and got her. I took her to the Vet and she was checked out, and x-rayed. The puppies were ready to deliver, and by her temperature it would be today or tomorrow. Debbie, Marilyn and I paid her vet bills and Marilyn kept her at her house. We all gathered round at 2am for her delivery of 5 tiny little puppies. We were very busy tube feeding 5 puppies. Unfortunately little mix didn't have enough milk and was very run down. We think she is a long haired Chihuahua mix. and our vet said she was about 7 months old ! We don't really see Yorkie in her. We lost two puppies. The mama was flea infested,had round worms and tape worms So of course the puppies had to be treated for round worms too they were weak and probably a little early. Monday The Mama Harriet ( dog (now spayed) was placed with a nice older couple. The three puppies are almost ready to be adopted. We are exhausted. But it is worth it.
