Poor boy! I pray for God's will for him. I feel how badly you want to help him. You are an exceptional soul, Dena. |
Another email from Ruth.... Duke is the same. I have been trying to get .3cc in him every hour because his weight dropped a tad. I am giving an antibiotic twice a day for his lungs. He is pooping and peeing well. I will have to take him to work with me tonight. I am a private duty RN and the clients do not mind at all. Peanut always went to work with me. |
Sounds like she's trying to help him. Thank goodness she can take him to work with her. |
How long of a flight would it be?? If he is that small couldn't you just sneak him on?? Just a thought. I'm in Texas so I would help if you was coming through here. |
Bless you for having such a big heart. I hope it can get worked out. |

Thanks for your offer to help.... that's very sweet.... but we'd be going from Maine to Oklahoma.... so no Texas.... :( |
I am praying that something can happen soon and this little guy can be helped. |
Warning: This one's tough to read guys.... Just received from Ruth.... Dena, I am sorry, but he is dying in front of my eyes. Weight is now 1.7. Hardly any respiratory efforts. Color is bad. Loosing body heat even on the pad with blankets |
Oh Duke, bless you to heaven sweet baby, if that's what God chooses! |

This thread wasn't about me... it was about this precious little baby... who evidently, is losing his brief fight..... and frankly... I'm just not in good spirits. |
Again from Ruth.... I sure gave it my all my friend. He is respiratory distress now. Down to 1.7 even with all I fed him. Unable to pass the tube now. He's on a heating pad and in soft warm blankets. |
Just had a cry over this little pup I've never met. I think you are wonderful for what you've done with Emma, and what you were trying to get arranged with Duke. Keep up your mission Dena, I think you've found your calling. |
Poor little guy :cry: he look so helpless, bless his heart:littleang |

Wish something could have been done for the little guy..... Ruth is an RN and a respected Chi breeder of many years..... if she is unable to pull him through this - - then baby Duke was meant to be with God.... at least his troubles here have been brief.... :( |

My thinking was, that if you are going to continue to take in dogs like this and you can't afford the costly care that they need, you may get more support if you are part of a recognized, legitimate organization rather than as an individual. (In particular when the requests for support extend on such a broad level.) I mean, if you are going to be doing it anyway, right? Vet's would be more likely to offer help as they could provide care as a 'donation' and use it as a business right off. Individuals may feel the same way. That was all I meant--I really don't see what the downside would be. Trust me, it was the DOGS and what is best for THEM that I had in mind when I made the suggestion. |
I am so sorry that Duke is slipping fast....I know she did everything that she could for him and you too Dena. My heart goes out to both of you!!! |
Aww, poor little Duke. I'm sorry Dena.:( |
From Ruth.... he is fighting, amazing. I was able to tube him at 7 |
Oh, this is good! Come on Duke! Hang in there Ruth. I'm praying for strength for Ruth, she may have a rough nite ahead. |
I'm actually in tears.... I just saw this and my heart broke when I saw the pictures of Duke, he just seemed so fragile....I hope he pulls through, but as always it's up to God to decide. Sending prayers for Duke, Ruth and you Dena from the westcoast!! |
This is a heartwrencher. :( |
Bella and I are sending prayers and pulling for little Duke! Dena you are amazing!! |
Dena I am very happy to hear of your trying to help this baby as are most of the posts.. there really are some great people..Dena your compassion is great... This is not meant for anyone just some encouragement...I want you Dena to read this and just keep on doing what it is that you do best..I have carried my little card for years.. I worked for a teen town on a military base and this was on the door at the teen town, to teach teenagers how to treat others... I am glad you are a person that has it in her to post a thread like this and tries to help..Keep this on your fridge...anne Criticism is The Disapproval of people not for having faults --- But for having faults that are different from their own |
Prayers for this precious baby from Colorado! I just can't stop crying ... God bless you, Dena and Ruth. |
