Loving my Oldies Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just bumping this thread to say CONGRATS to SLF on the safe arrival of Reba's pups :) Thanks for doing this, kelpiecuddles. I think the positives have far outweighed the "forum police" in the first few threads. :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Keep those healing and support vibes flowing everyone. Reba, SLF and puppies are doing it tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We still have 5 babies, and SLF seems to have things in hand for them. Plenty of great advice is going her way from the experienced breeders in the other thread... I'm sure there will be a good outcome in the end. T.

Loving my Oldies Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Even a winner needs cheering and support And SLF and Reba still need plenty: SLF posting today: "They were so weak yesterday and found it so tiring to suckle. Hopefully today is a better day. " I wish I could physically help. Any DOLers in SLF's area who could provide some assistance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Maeby Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Oh no, I hope they'll be okay. They've been through so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think they may be starting to rally... they are feeding at least. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah82 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've been reading that thread closely. Hopefully Reba can start to relax with her pups soon. I really want to see pics of the pups but completely appreciate that SLF has more important things to do. fingers crossed things keep getting better for whole family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think it's nice to have this support thread when the situation has generated so much interest - awesome to have so much support and well-wishing. It's also great to have the initial thread in the breeders community so that it stays fairly concise for SLF to seek advice and answers easily if needed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLF Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Oh My !!! I did not know this thread was here ! I cannot believe the amount of support we have gathered from people we do not know. I cannot believe that my dog and I have gained so much interest. Its overwhelming tbh. It truly does lift me when things are hard here though to know you are all behind me. I am a bit lost for words. Thankyou, doesn't seem like enough. - I have read some of your comments about my thread being in the Breeders Section. I did put it there initially bc I needed help from breeders. Hoping someone had been through a journey like this. I do have a link to some puppy photos, our first photo's taken yesterday. :D hopefully it works as I don't know how else to do it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152247934203478&set=pcb.10152247934598478&type=1&theater I have just posted an update in the Breeders Section, but shall repeat here. Things are improving a little Im feeding the 3 smaller pups every 2-3hrs and the 2 bigger ones only a couple of times a day. This although not ideal seems to be working for now. Reba is still very stressed and its a fine line between interfering enough to help and doing too much and stressing her more. I must go, but thankyou everyone. Thankyou. edited to add - the closest DOL'ers to me would be W'bool , though Im still an hours drive from there.

aliwake Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So glad you've found this - we've all been very worried for you! Hope it all continues to settle well. The pups are absolutely lovely - thanks for sharing some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Reba's and your puppies are beautiful, SLF. Non breeders cannot post on the Breeders Forum and rightly so. However, many of us follow with interest and awe and hope the stories you all tell us. Those two weeks after Reba was bitten by the snake must have seemed an eternity of agonised waiting for you. Just waiting overnight for results on tests for those we love can be bad enough. You are doing an amazing job; I wish I wasn't so far away ---- although I might be more of a hindrance than a help :D . More strength to you and Reba.

tdierikx Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 They look really good SLF... you and Reba are doing really well, OK? In a few weeks time this shaky start will be a memory only, and the pups will be driving you to distraction with their naughty puppy antics... *grin* T.

tdierikx Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 OMG! Isn't Daisy just the cutest little thing? Won't be too long now that they are stronger and can do more feeding from Reba themselves... hang in there! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
