Aerie Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yep. Two puppies arrived today. The two survivors from a litter of three. One of the puppies is now with my friend, Teresa, who adopted an older (approx 12 years old) dog about a month ago. Annnnnd, the other little sucker is here. She's tiny, but I guess about as big as Recon was when I got her, and Recon was 7 weeks old. However, she didn't appear to know how to eat the kibble I put in front of her. Sooo, I made a puppy mash and she liked that. Washed, de-flee'd, cuddled, fed...am I missing anything? I'm taking her to the vet on Monday to get checked over, get shots, get poked, etc. She looks healthy enough, but her right eye is concerning me. The people who brought the puppies to me thought they'd be helpful and bathe her - I'm hoping they just got soap in her eye and or it's something else minor. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, so for now I'll just use a saline wash on it and watch her. Any.way. Here: Yay for puppies. No, I am not keeping her. She's cute, though. That whole one blue eye one brown eye thing is just...cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyzookie Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 cutie!!!! Have you heard anything about your other dog?? I didnt see an update on that thread, or maybe I missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerie Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Which other dog? I have so much dog drama in the past few weeks that my mind is frazzled. Here's a brief update on everyone: The friend who was searching for a BC adopted one from a humane society in Mobile, Alabama. 12-ish year old older girl, 'cause she didn't want a puppy. That same friend took one of the two puppies I just took in from this wonderful BYB who was threatening to drown them. Combat, my dog, is still with my ex-husband. I have discovered, since that post, that the ex has in fact taken Combat to the vet and he was negative for Heartworm. He was trying to be a donkey about things and make me freak out. He succeeded. I do have a faxed copy from the veterinarian of the test results. I demanded that he do that for me. Things are calming down. Slowly but surely.

PSmitty Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 She's adorable! Bless you for taking her in. Hopefully the eye is no biggie. Please keep us updated, especially with pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooshuman Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 That is such a wonderful thing you are doing. She is such a sweet lil thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm glad they're ok. She so cute, I love puppies. Her right eye looks kind of red and runny. Maybe they did just get soap in it. They can't be to careful if they were going to kill them anyway. Her nose is cool. I wish I could take her. She looks like a great dog. Keep me updated.

MaggieDog Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Any idea of an age on these pups? Your pic makes the one you ahve look very young. If they are young, vaccines would prob not be a good idea, especially if there are other health issues going on, so that might be somethign to keep in mind. Either way she sure is a cutie!

smileyzookie Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I just remembered something. When we got Rohan, he was malnurished and sick. His eye also did that for a few months. Sometimes both eyes, but then when he got healthier his eyes cleared up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I was thinking that the puppy looks younger than 7 weeks, also. Erin makes a good point on holding off vaccines until you know she's healthy. How's she doing today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStacks Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 OMG....she is going to be stunning. Hmmm how to convince DH that once you have two it is only a small leap to 3???? I hope her eye is okay, it does look uncomfortable to some degree. Hope she gets a clean bill of health....keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerie Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 -WHY- does anyone ever want a puppy?!? We now know not to scream in the crate - that was exciting. She has -no- bite inhibition. She's WILD, incredibly wild. Did I mention she has no bite inhibition? She's into everything. Needle sharp little teeth. She has to go outside every 2 minutes. Anyway. I washed her eye out several times last night and today it seems much, much better. As for the shots, she'll only be getting those if the vet thinks she's old enough and ready for it. Really, I don't know how old she is. I got several different stories from the people involved. She might be 5 weeks old, maybe. I discovered this morning that she can rather easily eat dry kibble. (That's those needle-sharp teeth.) I think she'll be ok. Now. Whether or not I will survive the week that she's here - oh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzie Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Oh my goodness LOOK at that puppy! She is stunning, really! She also reminds me ALOT of Rebel.... Very cute, please do post more picturs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerie Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Someone wanted a side view. So I caught her while she was napping...which is the only time she's -still-: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderlicious Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 She looks at least 5 weeks to me. I'd say she's a week or two older, though. Their muzzle usually isn't elongated and defined like that at 5 weeks, in my (limited) experience. She is a BEAUTIFUL puppy! Though I agree, puppies make us appreciate what we take for granted in our adult dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiga's_mom Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sooo cute! We've been thinking about getting another dog in the fall. I'm sure we'll rescue again, but we'll see what comes up in our area at that time. That pic is giving me a bad case of puppyitis though.

jjean Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Someone wanted a side view. So I caught her while she was napping...which is the only time she's -still-: Wow! Thank you. She's beautiful. I'm glad her eye is getting better. By the way, she matches the carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Oh, well, if she matches the carpet, I think she should stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 At 5 weeks Dazzle's muzzle was maybe only like an inch long. I think more like 6 weeks, maybe even 7. but that is only going by muzzle length! Good luck with those little teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
