I love having Yorkie puppies around the house...If I was wealthy, I would have a vet on salary 24/7 just to care for my dogs..and I would just play with them. The worst stress I experience in life comes from a problem whelping. 10PM, snow storm, lights go out, no heat, Violet decides get in her box and have pups. Not a sign of whelping all day, she waits until the worst possible time. They better come out because there is no possible way to go to the ER. (they did) The very worst is when you see one lone foot sticking out of mom...pups is backwards and not always so easy to get out of a first time mommy...oh, I forgot the ones who come out and stop at the neck..head is out and nothing else happens..pull too much and you will break it's neck, wait too long and it dies. That is when I say...Oh, Lord, Oh Lord, please let this pup come out and I will retire, never do it again..I have prayed that prayer for 30 yrs..I hope God understands I will not keep my word..I can not...when it is over I forget the bad and only see my babies.
75% of the time all goes just fine, it is the 25% that I hate.
