New Puppies

[SCHBR'smom]

Our new puppies are here!! They are 10 week old long-hair miniature dachshunds. They are little fuzz balls!

The black one is Minnie, and the dapple one is Rex. The kids are very excited.

They are adorable! The dapple is gorgeous. We have a silver dapple mini named Dori aka piglet. Doxies are great dogs. Just a word of warning, they can be stubborn little buggers.

So cute, my best friend has two miniature dachshunds too! One has short hair and the other has long hair.

So cute!! We have a new puppy too. Got her yesterday, a maltipoo. She is not named yet though. Waiting for my oldest daughter to decide...

Cute!!!

I have a short haired mini doxie and she's awesome but very stubborn LOL!! Great w/my kids though.

Congrats, from a mom of 2 mini doxies (both short haired reds). Make sure they know they are not the leaders of the pack. I hope they both have long healthy and happy lives!

I took them to the vet a little bit ago for boosters and a check up. Their doing good. Minnie weighs 3.2 lbs and Rex weighs 2.85 lbs. They seem to be fitting in quite well.

But as I was checking out at the vet, a man and his son (who didn't even have on shoes they were in such a rush) ran in carrying a cat in a towel. The cat was violently shaking and the man said he had a dying cat. It was awful. Evidently, the cat had licked some of the flea and tick medicine off its back because the man had put it a little too low. They took the cat back, sedated it, and were trying to get info from the man. They found out the active ingredient and were working on the cat. They asked the man for a deposit, but he didn't have any money. He would start a job tomorrow, but had nothing today. The vet said they would work with him, but it just broke my heart. They came out and told him the cat had a 50/50 chance. She is only about a year old. I offered to help pay something, but he said he was going to wait till tomorrow. Depending on how bad the bill was and if the cat had a chance or not. I just want to cry. Poor thing looked right at us as they carried her in. I hope she makes it.

Oh Kerrie, that's just heartbreaking. I hope the kitty is okay and that was such a sweet thing you did, offering to help pay a portion of his bill. I'm sure he was extremely grateful, but preoccupied.

That is so sadI hope the cat is alright. Good for you to offer to help pay

Poor thing ... and YOU are soooo sweet ! I'm going to use your thread for a little PSA: NEVER use over the counter flea/tick treatments (like Hartz) on your animals. They can be deadly to the dog or cat! Stick with the expensive stuff you get from your vet.
