Momma knew something was off with Glory and while she's been with her, she wasn't as playfull and attentive with her as she was BB. Since they are 9 weeks old now, she's not with them full time. She's with them at night so she knew when Glory passed. I find that when moms are allowed to be with the wee one for a bit after they pass, nature tells them what's happening and they are better able to deal with it. Lacey was very attentive to BB for the first day and then was back to normal, playing and teaching him the right way to use his teeth. She's doing fine. I had a harder time than she did. I've been anticipating this since she wasn't growing. There just wasn't anything normal about her growth pattern. Toward the end, her little body just couldn't keep up with the demands.

Thankfully, BB doesn't appear to have the same issues the wee littles did. Another reason I prefer a 5 pound dog. Anyway, he's been vet checked yet again to be on the safe side. I'll continue to monitor him closely but I believe he's fine. Obviously, this wasn't as good a pairing as I had hoped. Lacey is now spayed but I'll pay particular attention when breeding her brother to anything related to Kota's pedigree. So far, he hasn't thrown anything like this so it could have been a bad fluke but forewarned is forearmed. And if Kota produces anything like this again, he'll be neutered. This was a first for both the sire and the dam so only time will tell the story.

I'm so sorry about the loss of Glory, Lisa. So sad. RIP little one.

I'm glad to hear that BB is doing well.

Lisa how is bb has he got a new home?? He's the same age as my lotus I'd love to see some update pics *hint hint*

BB is doing pretty good. He's developed a Cherry Eye, which is totally annoying me. It won't stay down so will have to be fixed when he's neutered. Otherwise, he's great. His home fell through so I'm looking at this point. Means I have to take new pics soon so I'll get some posted for ya. He's had his second round of vaccinations so now he gets to go out and about with Momma...and even come to the office to meet all the people coming through. He gets a little overwhelmed still but is getting better.

Off to groom a couple Poodles. Will get pics ASAP. I promise.
