For anyone who may have reached out this weekend - I see you, and I will be touching base with everyone ASAP on Monday morning for upcoming appointments!

This was my "birthday weekend" so excuse the lack of response, I meant to make an announcement that things would be a little slow on the business side 😅

Have some more pictures of baby goats to make up for it!!

My beautiful, gorgeous, lovely lady Maureen has given us two bouncing baby girls! Welcome to the world, little ones, we are so excited that you're here!

Bless Momma's heart, she just wanted me by her side through it all. I got up once after she first laid down to put the dogs back inside since they were out for their first morning potty break, and she fussed and stood up, so I returned quickly and stayed by her as she settled. She gave birth without much help - I only ensured the babies could breathe by clearing their faces since Momma was busy and tired - and she got to cleaning her babies as soon as she caught her breath.

It was incredible to be there for her through this!

Well, ladies and gents. It's been a BUSY first month of our new year! So busy, I've missed making a LOT of posts, even a few that were supposed to be announced LAST YEAR!

If you've been with me from the start of my journey, or were with me 2 years ago when I spent those unfortunate 6 days in the hospital, you should recognize these gals! One of my original bottle babies, my spotted lady, Maureen, AND one of her gal pals, Momma Margot, the only goat we successfully got milk from! LOTS more to come, VERY SOON 😁

As always, BIG thank you's to our followers for always liking, sharing, and commenting to keep us on those Facebook feeds y'all!

What a GRAND start to the new year! That's FIFTEEN MILES in just 2 hours and 40 minutes! (We had a couple of stops, lol)

Merry Christmas from the 5A Family! PT. 2

It's been a long couple of weeks! Between work and the goings on at home just to keep things from not utterly falling apart, we've been in nonstop motion. BUT that meant today was a very welcomed rest, AND that we could give the fur children an awesome end to the year. Lots of new toys and treats to try, plus, brand new beds from Tractor Supply Co. that were on sale for only $19.99! With washable covers!!

Firstly, thank you guys for the check-ins and support. We LOVE you all.

It's been a long two and a half days. This is going to be a long, honest, and very open post, you guys. If you're not here for the reality of rescue and pet care, please don't keep reading.

It started Wednesday, when Momma Dog quietly passed 5 stillborn puppies over the course of a few hours. She wasn't in pain, no obvious labor signs, and she did everything she was supposed to. We did everything we could to help as it was needed, rubbing the pups when Momma didn't, sucking out their airways, but they were born with no fur, slightly premature. It was very late into the evening when everything was said and done, and since Momma had no fever, and was comfortable, we decided on a vet trip the following AM to ensure her health.

At Mavericks Animal Clinic, they were as lovely as always. Making sure Momma was comfortable. They ensured she had no fever, and then gave her a shot to induce contractions, which would ensure she had passed everything that needed to be passed, that way she wouldn't get any infections. A few minutes later, a sixth stillborn puppy arrived. I can't thank the vet staff enough for the help and the compassion that they handled the situation with. Another shot, just to be sure, and a 30 minute drive home.

Back in her whelping area, Momma immediately laid down and gave birth to one tiny, alive, female puppy. We sucked out her airways, rubbed rubbed rubbed, and got her on a heating pad when Momma didn't seem to want to cuddle right away. And to be fair to her, this little baby was half the size of all her previous siblings. Tiny and fighting. She had a tiny bit of fur, but definitely still premature by a day or two, at least.

With the advice of an Emergency vet and our (Momma's) best efforts, Little Miracle survived for almost 30 hours, warm and comfortable with Momma after she settled down and we got her nursing. She passed peacefully yesterday evening.

Breakdown of the vet bill - Red Highlighted are my personal pets. I wanted to be completely transparent with what I'm purchasing while there, but the $45 donated towards Momma Dog's vet bill went DIRECTLY into her portion. Everything in GREEN is what Momma received at the vet...

To anyone who donated puppy supplies, I'll be trying to reach out (or if you haven't reached out before about your donation, please do so now) to see if you'd like us to pass these items forward OR return them so you can get your money back. We will NOT judge or be offended with whatever you may choose! Amazon, I believe, makes the process pretty easy, so please just let us know what you'd like to do. We'll be choosing a nonprofit to bring the unused supplies to, though Momma is still going to need her toys to coddle, especially now, those pads/blankets, and the puppy food to help her build some weight.

Again, thank you all. You have no idea what all that support meant to us, and to Momma Dog.

At the vet. Waiting. Some not-so-good news on the way.

It's GIVING TUESDAY today, y'all!

While we normally don't ask for monetary donations, we'd much rather a Wish List be fulfilled for those in our care, BUT. Today we're going to. Today, we're sharing in hopes that we can get a decent little fund going for Momma Dog, who is going into the vet tomorrow for a check up. I WILL add the vet bill/any paperwork they send home with us as soon as I have it in hand tomorrow!

If you can't donate, we're grateful for a LIKE and a SHARE, just to keep us visible with Facebook's algorithm. If you can, we're BEYOND grateful for you, too!! ❤️❤️

Momma Dog is here to say THANK YOU. She has a nest, she has towels and absorbent blankets galore, she had her first bit of prenatal vitamins & wet food tonight, she has a new toy and chew, and we have an emergency whelping kit & puppy milk replacer if we need it!

A HUGE THANK YOU to Monica DeFurio, Jessica Tucker, Janine Spindola, The Kines Family, Colleen (plus Peanut, Jasper, & Dusty, of course!), Jimmlynn Weatherford, and Jessica Weeks! We CANNOT express how grateful we are! ❤️

While there are a few things left, and we might push out another Wish List post in a few weeks, I think we are mostly prepared for this Momma to bring her babies into this world. Next thing is to get her into our vet this coming week!

11/29/2024

Our community always has a way of astounding me! Y'ALL ARE INCREDIBLE. AMAZING!

THANK YOU!! To all those who have shopped from our Amazon wish list for this pretty Momma dog, to anyone who's shared, liked, commented on a post of ours recently!

We're about 2/3rds of the way through our wish list already, though we might add a few more bags of food to ensure mom and pups have PLENTY. To be so far, so fast, though.. is just BEAUTIFUL. An absolute BLESSING. We just want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️

HAPPY TURKEY DAY, Y'ALL!
🦃

I know everyone is busy today, but to keep our page on focus after the holiday, I'm also going to use today to make that announcement I was supposed to make 5 days ago.

If any of you were here towards the beginning of our journey, you'll remember the lovely nubian doeling Maureen that I raised as a part of my original trio of bottle babies, the ones I unfortunately had to rehome when I spent those 6 days in the hospital. A week or so ago, I had the opportunity to bring her back home when her owner was moving!

While I want to stay on the roll we've all been on for our Momma Dog (oh my gosh, the support we've gotten, THANK YOU ALL so much!!), I couldn't miss the chance to officially welcome my gal back! We are SO grateful to be able to have and help the animals we can, and SO BEYOND GRATEFUL for our community who always steps up to the task when we ask!

Following our latest posts, and for anyone just joining us, this is our Amazon Wish List for our new resident "foster" dog. So far, we've just been calling her Momma Dog. And Momma Dog needs just a few things to help her settle in here. We still have puppy play pens, an XL crate, stainless steel bowls, and a few dog blankets that weren't entirely ripped to shreds by the last fosters.

Our main focus for her right now is proper nutrition, possibly some supplements/prenatals to assist with her lack of care up until this point, and towels/reusable absorbent pads for her space/to keep under her. Due to the holiday, a vet visit is going to have to wait a few days.

As always, ANYTHING and everything helps and is MORE than appreciated. THANK YOU to our followers, and anyone who takes the time to SHARE!

Well, it's a whole herd now! 😅😂

Ugh. Sorry SaddleBox. Reese and I were NOT huge fans. 🥲

Went on another ride this morning and came across where Florida Fish and Wildlife had to come out and manage a forest fire, all started because of one strike of lightning. What a spectacular sight to see. Thought everyone would enjoy!
