Facebook heroes

[Diane CBPFC]

There is a lady I know slightly who is my Facebook friend – well her friend had gone to the hospital and left her dogs at my FB friends house.  She told as her FB status that one of the dogs had 4 puppies – one died and one was tiny and not latching on so I offered to go and help (being a dog breeder myself).

By the time I got there the pup was cold to the core, silent and didn’t have the energy to latch on. I stomach tubed him warm milk (puppy milk powder I had on hand) and shoved him down my shirt for 20 minutes to warm him up from my body heat – then he had a poop and cried. Music to my ears! By the time I left he was able to latch on to his mother. My daughter came along and took care of the umbilical cords for all three pups and helped pass things and clean up.
 
We both came home feeling like puppy heroes.

You let a dog take a crap down your shirt? 

[Diane CBPFC]

Yes, and would do it again if necessary.

The dog was only 3" long and just born a few hours previously so it was just baby poo.

I am hoping that the little guy survived the night.

Amazing story, Diane. My mother used to breed Pyrenean Mountain dogs but I only took an interest in them when they got to the cute stage. I stayed well away from the messy process.

I didn't know your mother bred dogs Roger - that must have been a fun breed to grow up with.

This mother dog was a tiny little dog, mixed breed about 10lbs - the little fella made it through the night so he will probably make it now. 

Another thing that happened in real life because of FB was last week I bought a 30+ year old jade plant - which is awesome - looks like something from Dr. Seus.

Will you be sticking the Jade Plant down your shirt, Diane?

Only if the electricity goes out - not just for fun.

I read that as "used to breast feed Pyrenean Mountain dogs" for a moment. Must be my age.

How tall does a dog need to be before it's classed as a mountain?

Oh my, that was clever.

I found it a bit forced.

I just thought it would have to be a Dolomite-tion.

For some reason it irks me that "facebook" and "heroes" have been shotgun wed in this topic.

I take it I'm not the only one that doesn't do facebook then, Mince?
