Momma is eating all the time. She is going through a can of dog food a day and sometimes I have to give her more. She won't touch the kibble yet but will eat the mush food. Vet still has her on A/D and said it would be good for her even if she is nursing. Just trying to keep her strong and she is eating this real good. We do make her get out of the box several times a day and she has been doing great with that. Still having problems with her bm but so far managable.

The one picture in the first group where the puppy was laying in the hand is my baby. She is only 3.0 oz as of yesterday. My biggest is the 1st pic of the individual ones and he is 4.8 oz. He is the big boy!! Can't wait to see what they are going to look like. The baby looks like she got momma's color and possibly her features. Still way too early to tell. The brown one may have some of mom's features but the boy and the black girl look like they are going to be sturdy. Must be after the dad's side. LOL

Thank you so much. They could have probably come out the ugliest thing and still be beautiful to me.

It is hard to believe it has been 8 days. I have been checking several times a day from day one, hoping for a post from you, Sara. Before, when logging on, I was praying for good news. Now I can enjoy your posts without feeling that sickness in the pit of my stomach that came from the ones that offered bad news. Thank you so much for the continued posts, even though you have had so much else to do. Your story has been so amazing and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. Your babies are absolutely beautiful and I know you will find the best homes for each of them, when the time is right.

Icrush the tumbs up into a chalky powder and put in puppy cows (wet) Works great momma doesnt even know its there, I did try to give her a tum one time wraped in lunch meat lol uh ya it didnt work needless to say, She eat the meat and spit the tums after 2 xs of that i cut the tum into four peaces and wraped in meat she still chewed up meat and spit out the tums, So I learned to cush them up and put in her food I give it at night time her last meal so Its gave at the same time every day!

It is hard to believe that it has been 8 days. Time seemed to take forever in the beginning and the last few days are just flying by. When we was having all the problems, I dreaded getting on and doing our post. Seemed like it was a never ending battle of downhill problems. Now I have been so excited to share all the milestones that we have made. Much easier to post good news than what it is bad. Still a few quirks that we deal with but nothing like it was for the first 3 days. Momma still has her Lifeline (IV) in but have not had to use it. I feel in my heart that she will make a complete recovery and since the puppies are not showing any signs of problems I think they will be just fine also. Still waiting till we get to the point where there won't be a possibility of problems. I think the vet said on the second week then we would be in the clear or closer to it.

Sara, today's pictures just warm my heart. What a nice way to start the day. I hope it is all smooth sailing ahead for your and your amazing miracle pupsters.

jacquelinebabco · 02-15-2011, 11:29 AM

Sara,
Sorry for nagging. I went to the nursery to see new pictures and then came back to the breeders forum. I am so happy for you. One more time, God "does" answer prayer. There is no other reason this turned into such a happy story!

Gatord · 02-15-2011, 12:46 PM

Glad to hear Mom is doing better. I enjoyed reading this thread even if at times I was sitting on edge of my seat and other times crying. Thanks for all you have done for these puppies and especially for MOM. What a great story.

Belladonna1 · 02-16-2011, 05:09 AM

Hi Sara,
Thought I'd drop in this morning and see how Mommas Little Miracle, pups and you are doing today! Have we thought of puppy names yet? I did finaly name mine yesterday, The big one is Bridgette and little one is Bailey, I fought between Brital and Bailey, But Bailey won

Hope you have a good day, TTYS
