glad to hear green girl is bulking up!! you are doing so wonderful with them.

Alright kids, I need theme ideas.

My original idea was super villains
Examples:
Joker
Puzzler
Riddler
Trickster
Chronos

Then, I was holding red boy and thought, aha! Baloo from the jungle book! Jungle book themes!
Examples:
Mowgli
Akela (alone)
Raksha (protector)
Bagheera (tiger)
Kaa (python)
Phao (leader of the free people)

But, someone said those were too hard to say and recommended... "HAIRY" Potter
Examples:
Hermione
Harry
Ron
Fluffy
Seamus
Sirius
Cedric
Professor McGonnagul
Dumbledore

But I can't decide. And I'm open to suggestions. Any?

Bear's litter was Harry Potter themed. He was Sirius.

Pups

Alright, so ---

Steven took Green girl to work with him (vet's office) two nights in a row and fed her throughout the night, and i have done the same throughout the day. We have her on a mix of her goat's milk formula and "recovery" puppy canned food. In two days she has gone from about 690g to 920g. She has also become more stable, much less spastic, and more alert. Marked improvement within few days.

Now I am second guessing (or third guessing. or fourth guessing) my plan to send her to the other rescue. The vet at steven's work observed her and said that she will always be a bit silly, but that that is that and there is really no treatment/medications/surgery that can be done to correct it. She said that she will be more stable as an older puppy and adult and that she would personally take on a dog like this with no hesitation, as she will be "cute special".

The only thing I hesitate with is finding an adopter for her. She will be much harder to adopt out (I assume?). It doesn't sound like she will need lifelong medical care other than routine check-ups, etc.

I think I am going to push back sending her to the other rescue while we continue to feed her often and watch her grow.

I have moved the puppies into the living room and I have placed a crate next to my x-pen for momma. She is really getting annoyed with the puppies and was starting to destroy my door and baseboards in the bathroom. Now, she will be kenneled and I will let her out twice during the night. It will interrupt my sleep, but it's worth my house not being destroyed! I've baby gated the living room off so that she cannot get upstairs, etc... so she will have monitored free reign during the day. I know she probably won't love her kennel but c'est la vie.

I bet y'all can guess what I asked for for Christmas this year (besides a diamond ring from my boyfriend of almost EIGHT YEARS).... yep, a steam vac

Sounds like everyone is doing well and I think if you can keep green girl she will flourish most with you!! Congratulations on the diamond.

 

[Deber]

Since I am a Harry Potter lover (isn't everyone) I vote for this! One of my toy's is Hermione (called Peanut).

 

[PiratesAndPups]

My girls are named on a Harry Potter theme. I think there are a lot of good names to choose from there.

 

[KeaColorado]

Fantastic news! I just love reading these updates. I actually don't think you'll have trouble finding a forever home for Green Girl. There is always some sucker out there for a special needs furbaby.

 

[oakleysmommy]

Great news!! I agree you should keep green girl

So happy green girl is staying!!!!

I think this is a great idea/decision. I think she'll thrive staying with her litter. And as for finding an adopter for her, I don't think you'll have a problem at all. If I was closer I would be first in line. :wave: She could join my crew of "cute specials", (love that term ).

Oh, yeah...hope you get that diamond.

 

[goldensrbest]

You are amazing,for what you have done ,for these puppies, you should have anything you want, I know you will make the right choice,for your little girl girl.

Oh, I like Hairy Potter a lot. Other ideas, hmmm....
How about Big Bang Theory:
Sheldon
Leonard
Raj
Amy Farrah Fowler
Penny, etc.

The Voice or American Idol:
Simon (of course!)
Paula
Jennifer
Etc.

This so much fun... I'll be happy but sad when the babies go to their new homes.

Ashley

How are all of the babies doing!
How is Green Girl!
What name are you thinking of for her?

 

[ashleylp]

Hello hello!

All of the puppies are doing well but I feel like I am nothing but a cleaning machine to them. Anyone who is determined to backyard breed is welcome to come clean my house for the next week. My goodness!

Here are a few videos - I am going to get some better pictures tonight!

and green girl eating:

 

[T-Joy]

Wauuuu I have no words to say. It's just too cute!!! <3

And Achley, once again: You and your hubby, you are so beautiful souls !

I wish you the most amazing miracles for Christmas <3

Happy Holidays

We love you <3

 

[Bosn'sMom]

i LOVE these updates!

 

[dborgers]

I couldn't tell from the video, but those chunky monkeys eyes are open now, right?

Nothing like videos of puppies. You're doing such an amazing thing

 

[Lilliam]

Ashley, you have done amazing things for this momma and for these babies and for Green Girl.

I have one question....are there medications that can be given to alleviate Green Girl's tremors? Will she always experience these tremors, throughout her life?

 

[OnMyWay2MyDreams]

Adorable! They are really up and moving now! Green girl reallllyy gets excited over food! Lol she didnt seem too off in the pen with the others but with the excitement of food she just couldnt control her body as well..but she looks really good and happy. I cant imagine any medications are safe to give her just yet, but that would be something to look into to see if that is possible and when they could be tried.

You two are doing an amazing job! Your just...well great people!
