Yeah, Momma had a rough time... And she was such a good mom, loved to suckle the pups, would even choose to nurse over her own food. If she'd had the puppies in the wild, she probably wouldn't have lasted more than one or two months... She was really, really skinny, once she gave birth, and she was so small. I'm forever grateful to the woman who spotted her, befriended her and fed her for two weeks, and then brought her in. <br /><br />Thanks for the visit!Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115660076832707211.post-1738793190989838512015-10-30T13:41:04.732-04:002015-10-30T13:41:04.732-04:00I hear you, Marcy...

She loved feeding them, didn't want to be away from them for more than a few minutes. And she was skin and bones, poor baby. She actually got a FANTASTIC home—way better than anything we could ever have hoped for. I'll post some photos of her and her new (well, not so new anymore, ha!) family in the next post :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by!Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115660076832707211.post-30821663326074839252015-10-20T15:08:14.456-04:002015-10-20T15:08:14.456-04:00I did want to keep them all, hahahahahaa...

At one point, though, you realize that if you already have 5 dogs, these babies will have a much better life at a new home where their humans' attention won't get divvied up so much. But it's a hard, <i>hard</i> thing to do, letting them go. I cried with each one...<br /><br />Thanks for the visit, MK :)Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115660076832707211.post-91544225135397258642015-10-20T00:20:03.074-04:002015-10-20T00:20:03.074-04:00Oh wow!
