Sick puppies

The puppies were settled in well and we were doing well with house training.  Then the end of last week, the little boy stopped eating and was sleeping all day long.  Saturday was already the trip to the vet.  The girls had gymnastics all morning, so Joel took the dogs to the Vet right down the street.  I didn't hear anything from Joel all morning, so I was hoping that was good new.  But unfortunately, when I got home.... not so much.

Little boy has Pravo.  We knew this would be a chance adopting from the shelter.  It's not like in the States, where all the dogs have been tested, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered before you can bring them home.  The Vet said he has a 50/50 chance to make it.  That just breaks my heart.  We knew when we adopted these dogs that we would give them a better life than most of those dogs would ever see.  But to know that we might not be able to save one is pretty upsetting.  After a week, we are pretty darn attached to them.  So he is spending the week at the Vet.

The little girl is doing well.  So far she does not have Pravo but they found an slight infection in her lung.  So she is on antibiotics and goes back Saturday to see if it cleared.  And then get her first round of shots.  Hopefully on Saturday, we will have both of them home.  You can tell that she really misses him.  We all do.

I go about my daily life, staying busy and trying not to worry.  Today we should get a check up about how he is doing.  All we can do is pray that we have him home and healthy next week!
