I talked to the shelter staff about mama dog today, she has reached a point where she can be touched but she is *so* shut down and depressed. They are trying her with a confident companion dog today to see if that helps. If it doesm I have offered to take her home with me as my dog is a confident, cheerful girl. The behaviorists there seemed optimistic that they will be able to place her eventually, it's just going to be a long road and she will need a very special kind of home.Originally Posted by Karen
Fomite lost her battle last night, but I think she must have given her strength to her sister because Vector has gained half an ounce today and has figured out how to latch and swallow correctly, which she wasn't doing yesterday. Feeding time has gone from 20 minutes per puppy to under 2 minutes, though I worry about Vector being all alone, another reason to try and get mama dog over here. My dog is pretty afraid of her right now, which is making me smile because Vector weighs just over half a pound and isn't exactly threatening.
