thanks for this info, never would have known all this, which proves why I should never thinking of breeding.

I've been so busy lately and have now just gotten around to seeing this. I am sorry that some people took this opportunity to chastise you during this already stressful and scaring time for you and for Allie and those precious pups. I know how hard it must have been for you to come her and share your experience and you should be very proud of that. I also know how very hard all of this has been on you personally not to mention Allie but you got through it. Thankfully with the help of so many wonderful member here on YT who stepped up and offered assistance.

Like you, some have gone down this same very scary road and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It takes a strong person to go through what you did and come out successful in many ways. You may not see that way now, but you will once you hand those babies to their new families. If it were not for you and your family stepping in until Allie was able to resume her role as mamma things would have gone a whole other and sad direction and regardless of what some may say or think about you, believe me when I say you did everything in your power to see to it that Allie and those pups were healthy safe and sound. No one can predict these things so there is no need to beat yourself up over it. You did more for her and those pups than some would have. That in itself says a lot about your integrity and compaction for animals not to mention those wee little skin babies you tend to. They are all very lucky to have you in their lives!!

Whatever people take from your story rather it be good or bad hopefully you can help others by sharing your experience !

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I'm sorry you were one of the ones who was affected by the weather, but SO happy that you have your power is back on:) Cheers and all the best in 2014! Oh and I hope that you continue to have power:)

Woo Hoo!!! So glad to hear of this update. YAY!! Kudos to both mammas and all the support/help which you guys have given... with no judging to boot! Happy that this thread seems to be right on track again!!!!

awesome/ that is really good news

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Fantastic news, Michele!! I'm really happy for all of you (furs and skins!).

Just want to say again...thanks for sharing your experience about all of this, bc you didn't have to do it, at all. It took courage, no matter how one looks at it. If it helps 1 person, it is worth it.

Just wondering how mommy and her babies are doing, and how the human family is holding up with all the increased activity.

I haven't been on in a few days and just now seeing this post. Sorry about the terrible attitude and rude comments you received while trying to do your best for others who think its easy having puppies.

I am so glad to hear that Allie is caring for her babies and so glad to hear they are all doing well. Can't wait to see the puppy pictures! Hoping you and your family get some rest!

Puppies are all gaining. Mom is doing good. We just got back from the vet and moms incisions looks great, 3 of the 4 puppies have had their tails docked and all 4 had dewclaws removed.

that is awesome

Fantastic news!

Just wondering why one pup did not get its tail docked?
So very happy to find how well all are doing.
You are to be applauded for being such a good Yorkie mommy - know it has not been easy:D

So happy to hear good news!

We are keeping her and decided not to dock her tail. I really didn't want to dock the others, but know when it comes time for them to go to new homes, owners will be expecting docked tails because of breed standard.

And yes, she will be spayed. The boys will be neutered before the pups are even ready to go to their new homes.

Yay we're keeping Lyric/Buttercup/Princess!!!
