We never said it would be easy.....

So 1 puppy fades away - not able to poo properly, she is eventually put to sleep by the vet. Another is laid on by Shilah, and subsequently dies. Shilah gets mastitas, and she hasn't ejected everything from her Uteris, so runs a temperature, and we are feeding and checking dog and pups all the time.
So the blissful view of sleeping animals is rare!! and the human carers get more and more jaded, so that coughs and sneezes start!

Didn't know Puppy rearing was so much hard work and expense!!

Really sorry to hear of Shilah's loss. I hope you are able to help her and pull the rest of her pups through ok.
Keep up the good work!!
