Where would I find one at??? I have heard of them but never remember seeing them. Can she still get out or is she trapped in there with them. She likes her time away and I know when they start running around she will want some peace.

But as soon as I walk in the door, Bella is there to let me know she needs a break. LOL

Just still hard to believe all that we went through and how far we have come. Almost done writing up our story since I had several people contact me about using it on their website. While we are ending up with a happy ending others are not so lucky. Maybe just hearing what we went through may protect another dog from having to go through it. One can only hope.

Finally the day has come where I can breathe a sigh of relief. Looks like all the rough parts are behind us now. Still can not say thank you enough to all that has helped us and prayed for us. Wouldn't be here doing this post if it wasn't for you!!!

It's a wonderful, inspiring story. Bella has a wonderful home and she won't have to go through that again...thanks to you!

No she won't ever have to do that again. She will be spending the rest of her days being a spoiled little girl that she should be.

Just searched for them. Are they the ones that are metal and has different panels that you connect together??? Petco had some and so did walmart. Don't know if they have them in the stores locally but I will check tomorrow. Would I just use puppy pads on the bottom since they don't have a bottom to it??

lillymae · 03-01-2011, 08:45 PM

Yes that's it, you can also get them in plastic or nylon. Most pet stores sell them, walmart and lots of feed stores. She would be in with them but that's really the only thing you can do if no one can be home to let her out. It will keep the babies safe & give Mama more room. If you have any wood around you could make a 2x4 base with a flat top & put Mama a bed on it & that should give her an escape from them till they figure out how to get up on it.

That is the ex-pen I have and it is awesome. I'd suggest getting the 8 panel one which is only a little more $. The panels are very easy to add or remove to adjust for size of area you need at different stages.

I also got mine from Amazon (loved the free shipping), but a while back saw that lots of people found these at different places for less money.

I have to go get more formula in a little bit so I am going by WalMart, Petco and petsmart and see if they have one. I think I will go with the bigger one and then later I can use it outside to let momma out and know she is safe.

I have been talking to a member here on YT that lives near me and I may end up letting her take Baby Grace. I have fallen in love with her and all her dogs and I know she would be able to provide a great home for her and I can still see her. Still waiting to decide what I will do but my heart is telling me that is where she needs to be. I know I was planning on keeping her but sometimes you just have to go with your gut and so I am going to keep my mind open and see what GOD has in store for us.

It was made official today. I really like her. I have seen some of her posts here and she seems like a great person. There are a few people that I have met from here and they all have agreed she would be perfect for her. She has been over here so much in the last few weeks helping me out that I feel she has become part of my family. She knows my vet and has used him so Grace would still go to him. My vet has used her in the past to help do overnight care of sick animals and he is the one that gave me her number to call if I needed help. He spoke highly of her and said she is more than capable of handling tough situations. I called her and found out she was a member here just had not been on in a year and we just clicked. It was like GOD sent her to me for this very reason. She wants to wait till they are a little older before she announces it but I was just deeply moved by her and all that she has helped me with so I wanted to give the heads up first. While I will miss all of these puppies when they do go to their forever homes I know that the 2 that have homes now I will still get to see and be a part of their lives. Ok, that is all I am going to say or I will ruin it. But yes, there will be lots of pictures and posts from her.

Ahh! That's awesome. I hate the way you like to create this sense of mystery and expectation! Hopefully, she is ready to "reveal" herself soon so we can all relax!

MauiGirl · 03-03-2011, 12:07 AM

Sara, you said 2 have homes reserved already. What did I miss? Baby Grace and who else is spoken for?

So happy that you are finding good forever homes for the darlings. But does that mean you are not keeping any babies? Catch me up, I'm lost here?

Sara1130 · 03-03-2011, 03:50 PM

Yes, two have homes. Faith is going to live with my mother and now Baby Grace will have her own home. Baby Faith's mom will come out when she is ready. She will be here in a little while so I will try to get her to post. LOL I really wanted to keep them all I just think I have my hands full with all that I have here and Bella is my first priority. So 2 will be living within 30 minutes away. Still waiting on the vet to decided about Riley so I may line up an alternative for him just in case and working on a home for Hope. Of course we still have plenty of time before they go any where.

Faith finally opened 1 eye today so far. Still waiting on her other eye to open and then all eyes will be opened.

Went looking for X-Pens today and only could find the metal one and these little kids would have their heads stuck through them. Came home and my daughter was watching them and one was on the floor. She left a blanket in there and Riley got out. So they are going in my play pen now till I can find something else to use. I just knew this would happen. At least I still have blankets piled around the box so he fell on something soft and not very far.
