This does not even take into consideration the many thousands of dollars it is going to take to vet them to prepare for their special announcements.

 

These wee Labx beans, found nursing on their mom that was laying dead under a tractor, two with punctures, are now safe with us. If they could, they would also say THANK you to everyone for this lifesaving assistance. 

 

This is Miss Fighter Bean. She is the tiniest and weighed the same last Thursday as her wee beautiful sister, that passed away hours after we rescued them. .38 kgs.

 

She was the sickest besides her pink collar sister that passed, that I called Miss Charm Bean. She sure charmed the hearts out of Cassy & me.

 

Sometimes one just needs a little hand up! This picture makes my heart melt. She is a fighter…..and I will help her fight the good fight ALL the way!

 

She is super quiet and sweet – for now!, and she and Mr. Warrior Bean are giving it their all! AS am I!

 

Like her brother, she is not 100% so her real personality is not yet completely shining through. She also gets frustrated as it is hard for her to breathe when attempting to feed as she is still fighting the big battle with aspiration pneumonia.

 

She is the one with the bad hind end and legs. She more pulls herself with her front end. We will be investigating further.

 

She also wants to eat, which is an excellent sign, and many opportunities are given for her to latch on. When she latches, she feeds super well.

 

She may be tiny, yet, her heart and will are strong.

 

I am very protective of them all and just a smidge more protective of her right now. They all need love and attention, and her personality is one that will fade – at least for now in the background – allowing more outgoing pups to get everything. That does not happen here, for all get SO much, and no one will be passed over.

 

Today, I plan on weighing them. Their weights as of Thursday, August 4th in emergency:

 

Puppy 1 – 0.38 kgs – deceased as of 8:49 AM Thursday, August 4th

Puppy 2 – 0.38 kgs as well

Puppy 3 – 0.48 kgs

Puppy 4 – 0.46 kgs

Puppy 5 – 0.56 kgs

Puppy 6 – 0.64 kgs

 

Right now, while the beans look like bear cubs, she resembles more of a teeny squirrel!

 

We will be doing our popular Name Game Fundraiser to try and raise much-needed funds for vetting – five pups to vaccinate, boosters x 2, exams, 4 spays, 1 neuter, flea/tick/hw meds, bloodwork, further investigating Miss Fighter Beans hind end, etc., not to mention food, formula, pee pads, Pinesol, toys, treats, dog beds, laundry detergent, liquid fabric softener and so on.

 

Puppies are wee, their needs are enormous!
