that is very sweet of you to help her...as you know its a lot of work yet paid back by many yorkie baby kisses. How old is the litter your raising? I just posted my friends pics (of the ones she took to rear and place for her friend) on my site they are so cute and the sweetest little personalities.

I hope you can find another mentor, when I first started it was very difficult to get anyone to talk to me (being a novice which I think I will always be with this beed) although now the circle has widened with open arms and helpful hands.
I have two litters coming in June and three breeders have offered to come and help whelp and actually 2 offered to take a litter to rear if I needed the help now that was very sweet!
I hope you never get eclampsia scared me to death, now I know the signs and know what I can do to help my gals ASAP but I never want to see it again, you feel helpless!
