Happy Birthday Babies! Wilbur, Pedals, Poppy, Scout, Walter Jr, and Ruby . 5 years old today! Born to LeRoux and Walter , this was an amazing group of puppies. Lots of love with this group! Little Pedals was born with a cleft palate . LeRoux took great care of her, but she could not nurse due to the opening on her pallet. I tube fed her every two hours for the first two weeks. As she gained strength and grew, we increased it to every four hours all day and night. She was such a willing patient and we spent many late nights together snuggling . By the time she was six weeks old she was eating soft gruel and drinking water from a hamster bottle. She was so smart and determined. At 8 weeks, She went to live with Jill and Jon . Jill took great care of her and at six months she had her pallet surgery where they closed her open pallet with her own tissue from her mouth. She did amazing and she is a fun, loving five year-old with a sister from Rocky Flats. In the meantime, we believe Wilbur had an injury on a metal xpen. He had some growth issues with his bottom jaw and it is shorter than his top jaw. This guy is the sweetest, big, black, loving boy. He is the ambassador of his neighborhood and has the kindest soul and heart. We noticed it at the open house that his jaw was actually crooked. . His ownerโs Shelly and Tim loved him from the minute they met him and take the best care of him. He is so loved and happy and now has a sister from Rocky Flats. So it was a lesson for us that sometimes itโs not all perfect but the perfect people step in and continue to love them and help them be the best they could be. Happy five year birthday to all of you hugs and kisses from your mama La Roux and from Stephen and I have a wonderful day babies., ๐๐๐๐๐๐
