Here's my SECRET!!!

[LittleMansMomma]

Thanks everyone! The good news is the fleas seem to be dead. Because they seem to be falling off of her and the ones that are on her aren't moving they just slide right off.

Her vet appointment is at 9:30 a.m. While she is there I am going to make sure they get all the fleas off of her. While she's at the vets getting that done, I'm coming home and cleaning the bathroom and santizing it really well and going to give Little Man a bath in Dawn Dish Detergent for precaution! I'll update about her vet appt when we get back tomorrow.

Oh, I got some exciting news!!! I went and checked on her. She ate a little more and drank a little more. She walked over to me and let me get what fleas I could off of her. Then walked over to the pee pad. She had a poopy and pee pee on the pee pad!!! YAY!!! Then she walked over and climbed on her pillow bed (I did pick the fleas of it too). I'm hoping she will be easier to potty train. Having a baby in the house brings back some sweet memories of when Little Man was that little.

She is adorable! Normally I'd be upset about a pup being taken so early, but this is a case where the pup was better off!!!

I'm so glad you got her and are taking care of her!! I can't wait to see more pics of her!

They are a little pink but not like they need to be.

I am in the midst of weaning my pups they are 5 weeks old tomorrow. I got a tip to put grinded up dry food in a dish and give them a dish of water. I tried it but they liked it better if I poured some milk (Newborn supplement or Esbilac) on the dry food. I went out and bought a coffee bean grinder and it works wonders. They like it and it is working for me. It is so fun assisting them in getting to the food and watching them. Trying to keep them out of the food. Trying to keep there mom out of the line waiting to get to the mixture.
All my pups are 1 pound and or a little bigger. They are cutting their teeth.
I am putting out the pee pads. If I put them on it right away after taking them out of the tote I have them in now they go right away on it. I was going to try to use doggie litter, because of space. who knows it may work.
I like the idea of play pen, my friend gave me a old one today.
Good luck with the wee little one.

Awww, Little Man has a Littler Sister. Congratulations. That breeder should be run out of business, but I'm glad it's you who rescued him. You'll do great. Good luck!

Wow, your baby is soooo cute and in good hands.

I checked on little miss Tawny this morning. I do believe the fleas are all off of her. I didn't see any on her pillow bed or on her this morning! She is still using the pee pad! She ate a little more this morning. She seems to be doing great. Her little gums have more pink in them this morning! And she is all over the place. When you walk in there with her, here she comes! She loves toes. She is still trying to nurse on mine or hubby's toes.

She definitely loves getting attention from her brother. She whines and he goes and check on her. Once she knows that he's not there, she will whine again. Here he goes back to check on her! It's too cute! He's actually being good about not going up to the gate. Well I'm off to get ready to take Tawny to the vet. We're going to go pick up her grandmomma, then we got a couple of stops to make before heading to the vet. I'll update as soon as we get home! Have great day everyone!

Congratulations on your new baby! I can't believe they were going to take her to the pound, what horrible people!
She's a cutie!!

POOR BABY with the fleas but she is just adorable - I LOVE the name Tawny - it suits her perfectly and good luck with her ~!!!

ps...did you really count EACH flea ??? hehe

Until I joined this site, I had never heard of using Dawn to get rid of fleas on a dog. I learn something new everyday here. You are a great person to take on that beautiful little baby. She is gorgeous. Someone higher up, brought you two together. She is a little angel with a forever mommy that will make sure she is loved and wanted. And a big brother who is already protective of her. Congratulations on your new baby. Hoping everything goes great at the Vet's.

Congratulations on your new addition. Tawny will never realize that you saved her life, but she will repay you with tons of puppy kisses. Poor litle one, I HATE fleas. I hope that you are able to get them all and not wind up with little critters in your house

That is so sweet. I hope the "breeder" later realizes what she did and feels very guilty. How cruel to take pups away so early!

Congrats Larissa!!!!

She is adorable!

AWWW what a sweet face! What a wonderful new mommy she'll have. Shame on those terrible people who bred her.

Congratulations! She's adorable! I think rescuing this sweet pup is very admirable. She's lucky to have you!
