Piper and her puppies are doing well. She has another vet visit today along with her puppies. We want to make sure she is producing the milk she needs, even tho the puppies have all gained weight. The puppies will be checked out. Tails docked and dew claws removed.
I assure you all this is not something we wanted to happen. We are already dealing with a daughter who is having a very difficult pregnancy and has not been able to work. With this being said, her long term insurance only pays her 60% of her pay. So between us and her dad, we are having to make sure her and her other 2 children keep their home, food on the table and the things she needs for our upcoming grandson. Her Husband has finally found a better paying job so this will now help us some.
With taking care of them, still paying Pipers bills from previous illness and still trying to keep a roof over our head. This was not anything I wanted to happen. This is not an added expense that we needed. But, it happened and we will take care of it.
We are far from being perfect. I'm sure everyone one of us has made a mistake in their lives.
I received a few really nasty personal messages from people I don't even know, who condemned us without even knowing us or what happened. They don't know the lengths we have gone thru to save our Piper.
They don't know all the crying I did when she got sick and we thought we were going to loose her. They don't know that I have a kind boss who let me leave work early everyday she was in that hospital to go visit her so she never thought I abandoned her. A boss that let me come in on the weekend and make up the hours I missed so I could get my 40 hour check. They don't know that twice the vet told us to let her go that there was nothing else they could do for her. They don't know we maxed out everything we had, paid bills late, or not at all that month just so we could give her 1 more day to fight.
We believe our pets are our family. We took them on and it is our job to take care of them.
We had not even had Piper 2 months when she got sick. How many people do you know would take on that expense on a puppy they only had for 2 months? Alot of people would have just let her go. Are the vet would have been calling someone like Linda to save her.
We made a mistake of taking in a male Yorkie who's owner was keeping him outside on a chain because the could not house break him and their 2 young children tormented him. We had him a total of maybe 4 weeks until I could find him a new home. In this time Piper who had never gone into heat. Decided to within a weeks time. We kept them apart while we were not home. And when we were, she would have a diaper on and he would have a belly band on. She was kept in my bathroom at night and he in his kennel. We did this until we thought she was clear of this heat. No more sniffing or humping going on. We thought we were clear of any chances of pregnancy. Unfortunately we were wrong.
She will be spayed as soon as the vet says she is ok to do so.
My personal male is already neutered. My other female who was rescued from the humane society is already spayed.
So yes, we made a mistake. In this mistake we saved a little boy, but could have cost us our little girl. This little boy (Lucky) is now in a wonderful home with a yorkie brother. He is with a co-worker and is living a spoiled country life.
The puppies will be going to homes of 3 really good friends and 1 to my mother. My friends and my mom all know of Pipers issues but are willing to take them anyhow. My mom who already has 3 spoiled rotten yorkies is already sewing a bed and blankets for her new little boy, and making dresses for the girls to wear to their new homes.
We have to live with our mistake. But, we will do everything we can to make sure this mistake never happens again.
