Well, I see I have come to the end of the thread, hope our little babies are doing OK. Such precious angels and such an inspirational thread to read. I cried and laughed and now await for more stories from you two wonderful woman!

Always prayers to you both and your special needs kids!

Hello Everyone :)
 

Thanks so much for your kind words! It helps sooo much! :)

Tia is doing good today. I haven't tried the new food bottles yet. But I will. She's still a skinny bugger with lots of strength! Thanks so much for checking in with us everyday!

Youve suckered another reader in..youre doing an AMAZING job and she's BEAUTIFUL!! Now Jen's little Cali will have a playmate thats her size!

Great!!! Its wonderful to hav another one on board! Now call me a little slow...(and sleep deprived!) but remind me again of who Jen and Cali are? I'm sorry !!!!!!

I can't get over how beautiful her little face is. You are doing an awesome job with that lil sweet pea., Breny.:thumbup:

Cali is a very tiny chi who will only be around a pound or 1.5 full grown. Jen is adopting her.

OMG, I did not realize that she would not get any bigger, I thought she was just a puppy yet! I never had the time to read the whole thread and just saw all the Video’s which were just sooooo cute! Cali is another that just captured my heart, I hope she always stays safe, loved, and healthy. They can scare you to death when they are so small and fragile!

I just love this thread, it has been an amazing story that is just so heart warming. Glad the baby’s are doing so well.

Love and prayers to you all!

I'm just doing my morning check in 's to see how the little ones are doing! Hopeing your doing well little Tia and Joker!

Like you I was hoping for some news, just love these guys so very much. Such an inspiration!:)

ME TOO!

Thanks to all you well wishers! Does a heart good! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
My main purpose is to support Breny in this thread since Tia isnt out of the woods since she isnt eating on her own. I know she will though! It is extremely difficult, time consuming, exhausting, heartbreaking at times, but also rewarding to raise these babies. We have a common bond and its wonderful to have someone to talk too about it and try to help. Its really nice to see the support of others.
As for Joker, well hes just about like any other puppy. He is 3 1/2 months old at 1 lb 10 ozs. He has gained 3 ozs in the last week or so. He does not have trouble eating at all now. He even is getting two teeth in the front after all this time. He is energetic and entertaining. He pounces everywhere and when he walks he raises his front paws almost to his chin, hes very proud. Other then having a funny little lip hes very normal and I think he is completely out of the woods.

Hi Breny,
Glad to know Tia is doing okay. Cute as a button she is!!! How is the new food going? I forgot you made the high cal formula, Honey is pretty high calorie but I wasnt using special made formula like yours, so the honey helped add calories and help him with the hypoglycemia attacks. Plus he just loved the taste!!! His eating improved with it and he gained.
Yes Joker is a big head!.......lol.........but his lil body doesnt have trouble carrying it around. It does look out of proportion some, but its cute. I hope she is starting to eat on her own. Let me know when you can.
Thinking of you all.

What if you tried mixing honey into the soft food..maybe that will get her eating the soft? I cant wait to hear how little Tia is doing!!

And yes..Jen's little Cali is up to a half pound at 4-5 months, I think??

Ahhhhh lil Cali.......bless that lil girl.......only 8 ozs!!????........she may be a guiness book dog entry soon! Cali is another lil chi isn't she?
Wishing her big health!!

Update
 

ARGHHHHH! STILL NOT EATING ON HER OWN! Hubby thinks its cuz she relies on me too much and I'm not giving her a chance. But its hard.....she's so skinny I want to make sure she eats. he thinks I should hold off and see if she does it on her own. I just can't do it! What do you think?

I thought I was going to be able to write a thread today letting everyone know that she ate her first bite of hard food. But after picking it up 5 times and running with it in her mouth and throwing it around and picking it back up......she was only using it for a toy!

So I made some living arrangement changes. I moved her siblings into a play yard, and moved Tia into the Play pen. I put in the bed that she kept getting out and going to. I think this will make her happy :)

She's has some fiest to her. You should see the way she bites my nose and goes after me. Its funny. She always goes right for the face.

I have a smorgesborg going in her play pen. There is: dry food, soft food, formula, and hard kitten food. Four bowls to chose from and she only wants her bottle. And boy she's a stuborn one at that. If she don't want it, she won't take it, and you can't make her! I'm just so hoping she starts eating herself.

her siblings are just now starting to eat on their own. They are picking at the soft and hard. So maybe since she is behind them,. maybe in a week or so? They are 7 weeks on Sunday. (no wonder I''m exhausted!)

Well guys...hearing from you keeps me going! I always can't wait to hear your encouragement. Thanks so much!

Your doing an amazing job:thumbup: Tia always looks fiesty in her pictures, she is the cutest little thing:p
