Things have been so insanely busy at our house! with puppies, bronxe's cancer and my sister wedding.. i could scream from all the stress!
Puppies: Momma had 5, at first all seemed healthy and happy, with 1 being a super tiny runt. he had a hernia in his tummy- ended up being an "open stomach" and he had a "soft spot" (fantanella spot) on his skull and sadly, he lost his battle late sunday night. It was a hard loss for our family. We had decided to keep him because we had been working so hard with him and his special needs. less then 50% of the dogs with the 'open stomach' actually live and of those usually have serious neurological problems. still a super hard loss. it isn't uncommon to lose bully pups... they're described as the "heart break breed"- usually a breeder will lose at least one pup... and have heard stories of people loosing whole litters -gosh i couldn't imagine!
So Rest in Peace little buddy, Adonis "oddie" (his name means strong warrior)
On a brighter note: everyone else is healthy and doing good. We have picked all but 1 pup's name out. i don't know why we're being so careful about picking the right name... but we are. We have decided that ...
This is Remington (the brindle boy) "Remmy" for short. and his sister Phoebe
From top left, clock wise " Oddie, Snooki, Remmy, Phoebe, and then the girl with no name lol... it'll come soon though!
As for Bronxe- it's been about 4 weeks since we found out about his cancer. He is on a steroid daily and they wanted to get him to the point of 1/2 a pill every other day. unfortunately that didnt work out good and he needs a 1/2 pill everyday. But he's still running around like a mad man
In his pic you can see his swollen neck- that's his cancer acting up:
He's eating Peaches in this picture!
coming home from the hospital after his biopsy
All my kitties
hope everyone is doing well! i have been trying to read up on all the past threads!
