Puppies
I don't know if you guys remember, but my daughter next-door took in that
dog that someone dumped off here about 56 days ago. Well, she had an appointment to have her spayed this morning. Turns out we are about to have puppies. So any suggestions would be appreciated. Many of the people at the spay place thought Kali looked somewhat like a Husky mix, and since Drake, the CBR and only unfixed dog in the neighborhood we know of, the pups could be his. Since my daughter has had kali, she hasn't been outside the fenced in yard, and all our dogs are neutered, and all except Merlin, they are female dogs anyway. So if those puppies come out looking a bit red and curly, we shall know for sure. We are planning on setting up one of our large crates in the infamous garage. At least the litter of kittens that occupied the garage previously is gone along with all the kitty odor they left behind. Yes, we each *suspected*, saw things this past few days on Kali that we went 'hmmmm', but of course we tried to talk ourselves out of it, assuming since none of us has ever actually *had* puppies, we probably are all wrong. Since we are all novices "but I don't know nuthin 'bout birthin' no babies, Mizz Scarlett" any advice would be appreciated. Robin did meet lots of nice people there, and somebody from a rescue in another county *said* she could help out with food, worming stuff, and other material things if Robin would agree to foster the pups until they are ready to adopt, and then take them to adopt-a-thons at Pet Smart, and agree to have people come to her house to view the mother and pups, etc. td P.S. Handsome Jack, since we suspect they might be mixed with CBR's, any advice you might offer would also be appreciated. Kali is a small dog, I'd say she couldn't weigh more than about 30 pounds. I can't remember what the vet weighed her at when he was here, but I know we had to buy the heartworm pills for *under* 50 pounds because all our other dogs are on the over 50 pounds ones. |

Sounds AWFULLY familiar. We used a giant crate for a whelping box, but it didn't have side rails on it. We went through a LOT of towels. We had premie baby bottles and puppy formula at the ready - and you can put some of that into the mama dog's food now. If it's ok, I'll email you with some info. When Kali starts pacing around and her temperature drops, she's going to have her puppies SOON. Please email away. You have my private email address, don't you??? Not the tiny dancer one, I mean? If not, I'll get it to you ASAP. td |

Not realizing there already was a 'puppy' thread, I moved this one with a
different 'subject' line, cause this one shows up way at the bottom of my OE reader. Sorry for the double posting. td "tiny dancer" wrote in message .. .

Tara The woman Robin met at the spay van who offered to help is apparently with some rescue in Franklin county here. She said they would do background checks and such on potential adoptee's. Since that's in the future, we really haven't even begun to background check her or what ever organization she is speaking for yet, but I guess that's something we ought to do too? td |

Tara spoke these words of wisdom in
4.196: Paying special attention to diddy's Super Puppy journal website when that comes up. I suspect that montana's going that extra mile (or three) had a hand in the ultimate success of placing her puppies. Tara Thank you. And I do believe montana's extra mile(S) has contributed to the puppies success. All puppies are STILL successful in their homes. As time marches on, this becomes impressive. It's easy to home a cute little puppy. NOT so easy to keep them in homes once they have lost their furball cuteness and grown into awkward tweens. Puppies at the chewing, barking harrassing, energy dynamo difficulty stages tend to get dumped. ESPECIALLY mixed breeds. It's so rare that an entire litter of mixed breeds are successful in their homes. People who Breads their dawgs cuz it's nachral but it's ok, cuz we got RID (what an awful attitude about a life) of dems, don't tend to follow up on the results. All they care about is they got rid of them and it's not their problem any more, and if they got money.. it's even better. Montana did not breed these puppies, but she certainly did right by them. And she does follow up on them. And she was 100% successful thus far in placing them. Giving them a good foundation and early manners is so critical, and I truly believe montana's hand was the reason for this very rare success story. |

The one with 411 in it? Don't know if you still have mine? Yeah, that's it. I'm not sure, I think I do because I usually save email addys in my contact book there. Once you send me one though, I'll have it for sure, but I think I do. Man, I really didn't think there would be so much to all this. When Abby had Murphy and the siblings, she just had 'em out in her filthy old dog house at the very back of the property, and that's whre they stayed. That's why we took murphy at five weeks, so we could bathe her, get all the fleas off of her, and worm her because her little belly was fat with worms at the time. Plus we knew she was the pup we wanted, we wanted her inside our house, warm, safe, clean, and took her to the vet on Monday morning to be checked out. td |

No. Super Puppy has nothing to do with home selection. Given your reply to me in another thread, I'm sadly less inclined to help you. I'm sure someone will give you the details. Tara |
