Just Venting: Sad Times

Here is the gallery.

I have a very heavy heart. The puppy did a great job in gaining and it is refusing to eat and losing weight since last night. I will begin to feed her every 2 hours but this is one that may not be capatible with life. I pray I can get her from here to there but I am not sure. It is rare that I ever lose a puppy but when I do, it tears a piece of my heart out and it gets stomped on. I am not as hopeful as I was this morning. This morning she was feeding. I gave her a little purified sugar water and she was receptive. We shall see how this journey goes. 

It has been a long time since we had a loss but it brings to the surface how responsible we are for their lives. 

It's been a day so if I am stingy with videos and galleries, please understand. I can only do what I can. All pups are doing well, with this exception. They are gaining, active etc. This littlest is actually still semi-active. 

UPDATE: So far 2 feedings by herself. Third one was half hearted so I am going to wait on next feeding till milk is let down and then I will put her on it and see how that goes.

The Spirit crew is 7 days old now and fat. LOL

Videos are up.

We hope she pulls through. We are pulling for her.

What a beautiful little puppy! I think she needs a strong name! 🙏

She is a chocolate beauty. She eats - she doesn't. Dennis is on watch tonight. Not sure how I will sleep. A strong name is a grand idea.

Praying she keeps thriving, such a difficult time for everyone.

This little girl is a fighter, i just hope she is not loosing her strength.
It is still very early in the morning so she may get a second wind and surprise us all. You are giving her the best care possible.
We will continue to storm the heavens with our prayers for you all🙏🏻🐶❤️

Very stress-filled. She gives hope - then takes it away.
