I think this is a great idea. Hope we aren't breaking any rules, too! Setting up PayPal is super easy if you don't already have an account. You just use your email address as your user name and when people send you money they sent it to your email account.

Thanks Kathy for your help. If I suddenly become banned you'll know why!

me too i would LOVE to make a small contribution to you for all the help you have given this mom and babies. it won't be much but i just want to help if i can please. let me know where the paypal account is when it's set up.

Count me in.......;)

Awww the pics are so adorable. sorry for mamas belly though :( Im so happy to hear things are looking towards the brighter side for you all xoxo.

OMGish Sara, I haven't been on in days and haven't heard anything from you and didn't expect what you have gone through. I am so sorry, I am just glad everyone is doing so well now, I knew by talking to you the few times I did, that she was in the best hands she could be, and after everything you both have been going through I know I was right. Big Hugs to you Sara, most people wouldn't have done it in the first place. You have a huge heart!!!!

First of all I would like to say thank you so much for the offers but I can't accept anything. If you would like to help there is a way. Please spread our story around so that others will see the real life dangers in breeding a dog that is too small and has no testing. This all could have been avoided had this girl witnessed real life events. Having cute puppies are great but at what cost. There are so many dogs in shelters that need homes and so many people breeding for money that somewhere it has to stop. Let my story possibly change 1 person's mind on breeding. That would be the greatest gift you could give us. Don't let what happened to us happen to another dog. They just don't deserve it.

I was telling my daughter about your story today (who, BTW, also has a 4 pound yorkie named Bella). She is a vet tech in Colorado and has worked for emergency vet hospitals. She has seen a lot, but even your story really touched her and she agreed that you have gone above and beyond. Most people would have lost the mom or pups by now. She was shocked and impressed that all the pups are alive and thriving. Of course, she is an advocate for spay/neuter and preaches this everywhere she goes when the opportunity arises. It is unfortunate that so many people, like Bella's original owner, are ignorant to the repercussions of pregnancy mishaps.

Again, cheers to you for all you have done. And please reconsider letting us help you in any way we can to offset the costs you have unexpectedly incurred caring for this lucky little yorkie family.

Believe me, everyone here has helped me out with all the support, advice and prayers. I owe you guys for helping me get through this. Uncle Sam is going to foot some of the bills and my job has agreed to work around the few hours I am available until I can get something lined up. Things will work out for us in due time. Right now I just want to get the all clear sign that everyone is out of danger.

Thank you again for the offer but we need prayers more than we need anything else. We are close to 48 hours post op and that is when we are upgraded to a 50% survival rate. Not out of the woods yet but each hour gets us closer. We do have a vet appointment in the morning so hopefully we will continue to get good news. Did have to remove mom from pups for awhile today. She was just getting so worked up in trying to take care of them that I felt she was not letting her body have the rest that it needed. Her energy was being used to care for the puppies when it should be used to fight the infections. So now she is sitting in my lap as I type, sleeping. Momma does know what is best. LOL Will let her have limited interaction for the time being. Must get ready to feed the troops. They will want dinner on time. LOL Otherwise I will not hear the end of it.

Thank God this amazing story is turning out ok, and I hope it continues to do so. I thought about these pups all day and couldn't wait to get home and check for the update.

Sara.... awesome doesn't begin to describe you; you are much more than that! You are truly and angel.

Praying for you, momma and the pups.

Perfectly said! Excellent, excellent post! :thumbup:

Perhaps we could all make donations to our local shelters, rescues, etc. in honor of you and these little ones? You've been such an inspiration, not to mention an outstanding example, to us all. We'd appreciate the chance to show our support. :)

I havent been around lately but glad to come by & check out the great news, I am so happy things are coming around, your story has put my situation in prospective. Though I have a larger Yorkie & she was looked at before the tie & given the all clear to go ahead, you have made me look at this whelping in a whole new way, thinking about everything & getting ready for God forbid the worse, but momma to be has been great- Im so proud of her.

Thank you for sharing all the pictures & stories of her getting better each day! You are still in my prayers & will be, I will keep you posted on my journey! God bless all 6 of you!

Sara...very well said. I think your story can act as a great learning tool. I just thank god that this dog found you:D

Just read all 17 pages and I have to say congratulations I am so happy mom and pups are doing fine. you are a amazing person
