All the puppies were adopted and taken home on Christmas Eve... Except Poppy who was reserved for a lady in Alaska to pick up on Jan 20th. On Dec 20th Poppy got bit by a spider and her whole paw got infected to where she wouldn't eat or drink on her own. I would feed her every 1&1/2 hours as much as she would take and Karo syrup to keep her sugars up. We took her to a vet on the 21st and he said to just keep watching her temp and feeding her. Then on the 24th she got worse again after her paw popped open and temp went down. So we took her to the ER and they got her an antibiotic and pain med. She lost her toe nail that night and their not sure it will grow back.
All the other puppies were so excited to go home with their new families. And all of the families were so excited for their new family member. Now we just have to decide if we are going to do this again or not. It was a fun adventure but so much work to raise them in the house. At 4 weeks I started taking them outside to go potty every 1&1/2 hours just like newborn but LOTS of them. Love those puppies hope they make good adult dogs someday. This is right before they all started going home... We will miss these cuties!
