🚨Long post alert🚨and an update‼️
People don’t always see what responsible breeders actually go through.
They don’t see the nights where sleep doesn’t really happen because you’re watching newborns breathe. Listening for every squeak, every tiny change in tone, every shift in breathing that might mean something is wrong.
They don’t see the feedings every two hours, the weighing, the constant checking, the adjusting, the worrying, the decision-making that doesn’t stop just because you’re exhausted.
They don’t see the moment something starts to look “off” and you don’t wait — you go to the vet, even if it means sitting in an ER for hours, even if it means oxygen chambers and injections and not knowing what comes next.
They don’t see how fast things can change in a newborn puppy, or how quickly you have to act when they do.
Breeding responsibly isn’t just about puppies being born — it’s about what happens after. It’s monitoring, intervention, support, and refusing to ignore even the smallest sign that something isn’t right.
We don’t get to “hope it passes.” We act.
Because these lives depend on it.
And yes, it’s exhausting. It’s emotional. It’s stressful. But they’re not just animals in a kennel — they’re lives we brought into the world, and we owe them everything we have when they need us most.
🚨We just spent the last three hours in between feeding Quasimodo, up at the Veterinary Emergency Triage and Surgery - VETS ER
Our chunky butterball of a little girl has had full reign of her mama’s milk, and I believe that she has overindulged to the point of being so uncomfortable …. Somehow she has aspirated and has fluid in her lungs. We suspected this earlier today so she saw our vet at 10 o’clock this morning already and we started her on antibiotics. Well, throughout the day, she did get a little worse. So, she just spent an hour in the oxygen chamber while we waited and prayed that it would give her the boost that she needs to keep her from tipping the wrong direction. Now we just wait for the antibiotics to kick in. The vet seems to think that she should be OK because we caught it early. That is exactly the news that we prayed to hear. So we are going to stand on that and continue to pray while monitoring her very closely. 💕
Quasimodo is doing wonderfully. He is gaining and full of energy.💙
Please keep my babies in your prayers!🙏
