CINDY'S HOME!!!!!

What happened was that she first came home on Wednesday. The doctors were amazed at how fast she was recovering and how well she was doing. We got her home, and she wouldn't eat or drink. Problem. The next day we took her back to the hospital. Her blood sugar was so low it couldn't even register. Later that day they said she was eating and everything for them. Soo, long story short, she came home yesterday (Friday the 13th!) and she's been great since! We bought her the food she was eating there because she loves it and everything's going so well. She's such a tough little cookie. We also bought her a playpen so she can stay in that while we're busy and can't watch her 24/7. She's trying to learn how to go potty on the paper, but it's difficult. She prefers our rooms, lol. We also have to give her antibiotics and anti-diarrheal medicine twice a day. And it's beyond impossible. The nurse at the hospital showed us how to open her mouth and everything, but now that we're home... forget it. She squirms nonstop and clenches her teeth together so we can't open her mouth. We seriously struggled with her for an hour to get both meds in her. Last night, though, we got smart and decided to trick her out. My mom drew up the meds in the syringes and I was playing with her. Since she's teething, she'll bite practically anything. So, I was using this string and when she had it in her mouth, I pulled her mouth open, pulled the string out, and my mom shot the meds in her, lol. She was stunned for a minute, like "Hey, they tricked me!" haha. Poor thing. But she needs to learn to cooperate. She did it for the nurses and doctors... does she have no respect for us? Yes. But anyhow, I'm just so glad she's home and doing so well! Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. I appreciate it so much. She's going to be on her meds for another 2 weeks, so just pray she'll keep doing well and there will be no mishaps. Thank you again, I love you guys. ♥

You're going to never believe this. You're gonna think I'm lying.

Cindy (that's what we decided to name our little baby) started vomiting this morning and having diarrheal. She was getting weaker and weaker and wouldn't eat anything. She would drink some water and then 5 minutes later throw it up. We found a great vet from this one little puppy store a while back, so we scheduled an appointment. We just got home and she's Parvo positive. Parvo Virus is this virus that is contagious amongst dogs and they don't show signs of it until 1-2 weeks after the dogs' been infected. So, they admitted her to their hospital and they're putting her on all these IVs and going to give her injections and stuff. They're keeping for 3-4 days, and they said there is NO GUARANTEE SHE'LL EVEN MAKE IT!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( What on earth is going on?!?! I'm like bawling my eyes out. We all are here. We just got her, how could she be on her death bed? The reason why they're unsure if she'll make it through is because her body's so tiny and they don't know if she can handle all the meds. Not to mention, her blood sugar was 24. How did she even survive that? :( We like, just went through this with Misty, why on earth is this happening to us again? I can't take another pet death. I CAN'T! She's 14 1/2 weeks old, she's this little baby! Nooooooo. :'( :'( All we can do is pray that she'll make it through. Please, please, pray for her. I beg you. This should NOT be happening, and I feel like I'm gonna die if I lose another pet. I could barely deal with Misty. Not this little baby teddy bear. I mean, the doctor took her in the back to do these tests... and it seems like we're never going to see her again. We didn't even get to say bye or kiss her. My God. Why is this happening? Even if she does make it, I read online she could be unhealthy and weak for the rest of her life, not to mention possibly getting re-infected. :'( While we're crying our eyes out and worrying ourselves sick, we're trying to get in contact with the lady we purchased her from. She contracted this virus from the puppies she has/had there. And I'm sure ALL her puppies are sick with this. It is contagious. She has to get help for the rest of the puppies and do something about the expenses for our puppy. This is so horrible. It's such a nightmare.

I'm sorry I never responded to you guys' comments on my last entry. Things have been so hectic and busy with her, and I just didn't find the time. Especially with what's going on now. Please, just keep her in your prayers. She doesn't deserve this, the sweet little thing. :( ♥ Love you guys. Help me be strong, please. It's not just me, but my whole family is falling apart, yet again. :( ♥

Our little baby Princess arrived last night!









I just took those when she was sleeping. Isn't she precious?!

Sooooo... she's my grandpa's dog. But now she's ours...?

We picked her up yesterday evening and she was shaking and so nervous. My grandpa just about freaked when he saw how tiny she is. She's a pound and a half, but she's way smaller than you'd ever expect. We took her to our house 'cause our plan was that she'd stay with us for a couple days and we'd help train her and get her kind of used to us since she was so freaked out from the plane and all. We thought we'd shower her with 3x the love than just my grandpa. She spent the night last night and grandpa calls this morning all, "You know, she's really tiny.... and Chantal really loves her..... maybe you guys should just keep her", uhhh, no you didn't! I knew he'd give her to us, but I thought months down the road. Not before spending no time with her at all! Goodness. So basically, she either is ours, or we sell her. We're all so confused and unsure of what to do. I mean, our life just like, changed in a day. I stayed up with her all night last night 'cause she isn't potty trained yet and I was so worried she'd keep peeing on the wood floor and it'd soak in and we'd be screwed. So, she's gone every place BUT the potty paper. Of course, lol. And she never EVER gets tired. Seriously, she wants to play NONSTOP! lol I slept a total of 4-5 hours since my dad and mom took over afterwards. She's the sweetest thing but a 24-hour job. I really can't see us selling her, because that's just not us. But we aren't ready for a puppy yet. We wanted to go to Hawaii in August/September and just have our freedom since Misty. My grandpa said he'd take her whenever we wanted to go places, but still. She whimpers and cries every time we leave the room. :( I've never had a puppy/dog before, so this experience is all SO new and scary for me. We bonded instantly, so she constantly wants ME, and I hate to say it, but I can't spend every second with her. I have no time to do anything else but be with her, and I'm like, exhausted. We all are. We're looking to enroll her in some potty training classes asap, and we'll go from there. She's still so sad and nervous from the plane and flight here. I mean, she was on there for 2 hours, then had to wait an hour, and then was on there for another 2 hours before arriving here.
And when she looks at us... gosh, we'd do anything for her. I hate the position my grandpa put us in. He knew how we felt about having a pet right now, and he knew how small she was. That's pretty cruel to do to her - fly her all the way out here and not even want her. Makes me wanna cry for her. She can hardly eat, barely drinks, and had diarrheal with a little blood in it. (My mom called the lady she came from and she said to give her Pepto bismol) Aaaanyway, I'm about to pass out and my dad's keeping her company while I go to sleep now. Wish us luck with her! And, what would you do in our position? Just curious.

We went to a baseball game with my grandpa tonight, so I had to tape Idol. I set my tape for 7:58pm-10:01pm (on SP mode) and when we got home a little while ago and watched it, it cut off the ending, right when David Cook's about to sing. So, my mom completely flips out. She's seriously furious at me for messing this up again. Since when have I done this before? Anyway, obviously I'm really upset as well. It's not like I did this on purpose, ya' know? It's my favorite show. So, I was wondering if anyone could possibly send me a DVD of the finale... the entire show? I would be grateful for eternity. I know I could watch everything on YouTube and whatnot, but it isn't the same. And this could maybe make up for my mess up here. So, please, if anyone could possibly send me a DVD of the full finale (in good quality), please please let me know. I'll e-mail you my address.. just.. I'm begging you.. I'm desperate. I hate how disappointing I am. She's just going on and on about this, and won't accept my apology 'cause "I knew what I was doing". And I "ruined everything". So, thanks many times in advance if you can help me out.
