Today was my beloved Peanut's first birthday. Not bad for the puppy who, when the vet saw her 8 hours after birth, said he didn't think she was going to make it!
A short review, for those who weren't around then ~ Peanut was one of six pups; she was the first born. All her others sisters were 8 to 9 oz ~ she was only 6. Hence the nickname of Peanut.
And she was MINE from the second she popped outta her Momma. :)
Breeder & BF K. and the husband didn't know it, but I did.
We had to take Momma in to the emergency vet because she was having much trouble delivering the 6th pup ~ who turned out to be stillborn.
That was when the ER vet said he didn't think Peanut would make it.
And that is why, as a celebration, K. and I took Peanut and her sister Meagan to the same ER doc tonight. He was thrilled to see them, and loved that my baby has done so well; he was especially impressed when I told him about having to do CPR on her when she was 3 days old!!
And I got to say ~ in the nicest way possible ~ "Neener, neener, neener" to the vet, and that I'd never been so happy to have a doc be so wrong!!
So here is to my...
