A bit of Good, A bit of Bad

I was hoping this post would be a nice happy post filled with photos of happy puppies and mommy.  However, I am here writing a rather different post than I'd planned for.  The last couple days have been quite the emotional roller coaster.  On the positive side, the puppies all seemed to be picking up weight, and many were nursing very well off Renee.  Renee herself was being a fantastic mom, happy to have her babies.

Unfortunately yesterday things took a less positive turn.  Renee bloated again last night and had to be rushed in to the clinic again.  She had twisted again, and this time they had to take out her spleen.  Fortunately her stomach had only half twisted, so they were able to tack it so that it will not twist again.  They didn't tack it the first time around as she had already been under too long to be safe.  We have no idea why she twisted again - she'd been doing so well.  Renee is still at the clinic recovering.

So the puppies are back on bottles and tubing (for the weaker ones).  Six of the puppies are doing really well, feeding strongly.  The others are much weaker.  Sadly White puppy passed away early this morning, he just wasn't strong enough.  We are very concerned about Tan, and moderately concerned about Black and Yellow.  Lots of prayers and thoughts for them and Renee.

Anyway, to end on a more positive note, here are some photos of everyone from Tuesday night.  Enjoy!

And photos of all the puppies:

That's it for now.  I'll try to post another update on Renee later today.
