so here's the scoop. I'll try to keep it as concise as possible.
recently these little guys have been eating something we affectionately call "gruel"...believe me, I've tried to get them to change the name. any ideas?
anyways, sometimes they can lap it up from the side of the bowl (very comical, btw), but most of the time they eat it off your fingers (which is also very comical :P)
And then there's Bear. okay so the story goes...about a week(ish) ago, 3 of our puppies were pretty sick with...something. i dunno what. (we're getting test results back soon) But anyways, they needed to be tube fed, since they weren't eating on thier own. so you see the problem. But there's a really nice lady who lives in our neighborhood who offered to keep them at her house and take care of them...tube feeding twice a day included. She took home with her 3 puppies: Lucy, Tuck and Bear. (I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but Tuck and Bear are definitely my favorites, so I was pretty bummed) Lucy died this past Monday morning, unfortunately, but Tuck was doing fantastic! we finally got him home a few days ago and he's thriving. Bear, on the other hand, was making slower progress...for a while he was losing weight, and we were pretty sure he was gonna konk out. but at the moment he's doing much better! still being tube fed, but he came home last night and this morning for a visit (and to nurse ;). we're hoping he'll be able to come home soon!
Here's a picture of Annie (left) and Bear (right). see how small he is in comparison? :(
this is Ellie :) she's very sweet and cuddly...the one who likes to climb in your lap and cuddle.
little puppy in a big doggie bed :)
so she just fell asleep with her head on the railing...so cute :)
so that's it for now. sorry, that was long. but hey. ;)and I promise (i think?) that Pilgrim pictures are coming soon. that would require *taking* them first tho...heh. yeah. ;)
