Our new puppy



I know it's kind of weird that I haven't posted anything for a really long time but the desire just hasn't been there. I finally downloaded Macy's pictures of our new puppy onto the computer and here she is! When we got her on February 9th , the guy said she was about two and a half months old. Baloney! She was huge!! I voted we call her Moose but everyone else voted for Bear. So I guess Bear it is. The top picture is yellow-y because it was taken inside our house and I don't think Macy used the flash. The second picture was taken at our last snow storm. Not this one, but the last one. Remember?? Yea, right. Anyway, as we were getting packed to leave on the band trip to Atlanta, I noticed that the puppy didn't look good. It was definitely a deja-vu of Maddie before she died. John and I took her to the vet and Jess promised to take care of her. They watched her overnight and did some x-rays but didn't find anything too alarming. Until they arrived for work the next day. Bloody diahrrea everywhere. Our baby had parvo - a deadly virus that strips the intestinal lining leading to severe diahrrea and vomiting. They started her on iv fluids and kept her for six days. While on the trip I text Jess everyday to see how things where going. Not much change for most of the trip. When we got home on Sunday I called the vet and he said there wasn't much change until that afternoon. He even used the word "perky" to describe her condition! Finally, some good news! She was very very sick when I left and I was very worried about her. We brought her home on Monday. She's very skinny but energetic and "perky"!!

Ohhh! I'm so glad to hear, "bear" is ok. So that's what peanut was vaccinated for. Wow!

Did you notify the previous owner?
