The puppies were 5 weeks old this past Saturday. We now only have two left. A male and a female. All the others passed away.

The mommy ended up getting mastitis and passed infection to her babies. These two are the only ones that survived it. Mommy is doing ok. She’s not over it yet but seems to be coming along fine.

It’s a very sad thing. We started with eleven new babies and are down to two. I held each one as they took their last breath. That’s hard to do. My heart is broken.
