Yorkieshadow,
Thank you for sharing your story with us.....so touching! DO you have a picture of your rainbow bridge girl? I would love to see her.
Thank you for the computer images on the kids!! That one of Tia is soooooooooo darling!!! Tia Rose. Isnt that what you call her Breny?? I save it to my computer. TIa kinda feels like my baby.

Breny,
I made a mistake on when Joker started eating dry, IT WAS MORE LIKE 10 weeks he ate it easily. Would you beleive he weighs 1 lb 11 ozs today at 117 days old. He isnt gaining alot but Im so glad his weight continues to go up. Hes a lil sensitive about his weight because most of his weight is his head........LMAO!
I know you arent crazy about your vet, but maybe it would be worth it to get her a check up now. The wet noises she makes might be all in the nasal passages but I think I would just get a professional opinion that she doesnt have fluid in her lungs. You had said you had had some antibiotics on hand........tell your doc that and ask him to give you an exact measurement of how much to give if he says you should. Maybe he would help you in that way to save you money if that is a concern. Heck she might not need them at all anyways!!
I took a good look at Jokers mouth, it looks like a a thick skin flap is beginning to close his cleft somewhat. For awhile it looked wider but their are some changes going on now. I think he is beginning to have a close down of the cleft a little..........Isnt that great!!!?
So maybe Tia's cleft will start to close some when she gets to 4 months like Jokers is doing.
I sure hope she doesnt require surgery either. Its VERY expensive too. Hopefully she wont need it but maybe if that time ever comes we could take a collection to help pay for it. I know I would donate to help her.
I think alot of people would help you. There are alot of good people out there. As long as they can check its for a legitimate cause, people would rise to the occasion Im sure. I know there have been many times I wanted to donate for cuases but many times it turns to be a scam.
This is one situation though where people would know it was legit. But hopefully surgery will never be needed at all!!!!!!!!
Well its a beautiful day and Im off to the good old outdoors. Feels like fall here today for sure. Later Tater.
