Sea Monsters Litter - Orange Puppy
Bringing cute fluffy cuddle monsters into the world is a great privilege. When everything goes well, the joy of loving on those precious furry babies is like none other. The unconditional devotion that a puppy has for its human charge is such an amazing experience. We love each soul assigned to be in our lives.
But breeding dogs isn’t all lollipops and roses. Breeders must have resilience and tenacity, along with a brave resolve to weather the darkness in the midst of the storms of life. Not just anyone has what it takes to nurture new life and help it grow healthy and strong.
Yesterday, Mary plopped down into her den with a thud and fatally injured blue collar pup (Grindalows). We said good-bye today with a small ceremony of wishes for peace to its little soul.
Today, I noticed little orange pup female was no longer strong enough to suckle, having been pushed off the milk bar one too many times by her larger siblings.
Jay rushed to town for some needed supplies, and we intubated her with extra nutrients in order to increase her depleted hydration and counter her weakened state.
She has rallied a bit now and is sleeping on my chest for warmth to stay out of harm’s way until she gets her strength up a bit more.
This video shows you the struggle to survive that some puppies go through. Their will to live is strong, even though they may be weak and helpless.
Yes. Breeders are a strong lot. We must be in order to carry the heavy burden of life’s struggles when they arise. We must walk a fine line to allow nature to take its course or intervene when necessary.
Thank you for being with us as we continue our journey to improve the canine species though strongbred breeding. It is an honor to have you with us.

Sammy’s a great dog! I’m getting the same connection with him that I had with Cal (Excalibur) when he spent a few months with me.
Sammy doesn’t much care for car travel which I hope to break him out of, but he really likes hiking with me. We’ll walk a good distance then he’ll circle back just to love on me. I think that dogs understand gratitude and Sammy is a willing participant in letting me know how important I am to his life.
If I didn’t already have Essex on the top of my list, Sammy would be a keeper. 😃

Cookie Monster Struggles
I have brought Cookie Monster into the house. He is not doing well.
I brought him to our regular vet yesterday who thought perhaps he got into something moldy and is showing poison shakes. I checked everywhere around our place and cannot find anything that would be the culprit for something like that. Plus, he isn’t getting better.
I checked his DNA test to be sure they test for Puppy Shaker Syndrome and they test for two varieties, both of which he is negative for.
We have another appointment for a second vet today at 2:30pm for a second opinion. This time we will do blood work and spine x-rays to make sure he didn’t wrench his neck somehow. He holds it down and roaches his back when walking, which may indicate pain.
He has been in the house for two days now and is doing better when he can rest. He is eating, drinking, and pottying normally.
We will keep you posted.
