PUPPIES born into freedom
Update: the count has increased as of this a.m. One of the pregnant mill moms delivered overnight:
First thing this morning my phone rang at the office. It was our wonderful vet's office. I assumed they were responding to my email of this weekend for a status update on all the furkids and the pregnant mama.
WELL, SHE'S NOT PREGNANT ANYMORE!!! Last night Dr. Grundy check on her at 6:00 PM. The kennel help left at 10:00 PM. Nothing was happening then; no heavy panting, temperature was normal, no milk yet, ate her dinner, all the usual signs were missing. This morning when the first kennel help arrived at 6:00 AM they walked in to find a mom and SEVEN puppies!!!
Our story, however, is bittersweet. This afternoon I called back for a Puppy Update. Unfortunately, I was told that one little girl didn't make it. The vet staff had noticed starting about mid-morning that the mom kept pushing this little girl away and leaving her in the corner. The staff tried to reintroduce her repeatedly, but finally this afternoon, they found her dead in the corner. We believe she wasn't quite developed enough and mom knew this ... While I don't have all the information on all the puppies and others in this group to give them names yet, I have named this little girl Afriel who is the Protector of Children and Young Animals Angel. Little Afriel didn't have very long on this earth, but she was born into freedom and is very much loved and will not be forgotten. This would not have been the case had she been born a couple of days sooner while still in the PM, or if we had not been able to get them out on Saturday and her mom was still there today. Please light a candle for little Afriel ...
Baby Angel Afriel doesn't need our help anymore, but her mom, siblings and the others that came in with her mom still do. What more fitting tribute to a little girl who should just be starting her life rather than ending it, than to make a donation in memory of Afriel to the 40 PM Kid Challenge.

When the puppies are ready for new homes, my mommy will gladly take 2 females! She said she'll even drive to pick them up!
