We found he had rickets which was of course caused by the female cats having far too many pregnancies in quick succession. Another establishment using animals to make money quickly.<br />Golden retrievers are my favourite dogs and when I read the story of Eva and how she had been treated it brought tears to my eye. One can only hope the medication will help prolong her life without pain. We adopted a golden retriever when she was 7 years old as the owner was leaving Australia to return to Scotland. Emma was overweight having been enjoying far too many afternoon teas with her owner. Consequently her kidneys failed (we were never told if she was diabetic at all) and at age 12 she had to be put to sleep. I remember her with such fondness.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-57942900433122032332017-01-16T20:22:14.594-05:002017-01-16T20:22:14.594-05:00PeeS.....Thank you for your kind words on my '...PeeS.....Thank you for your kind words on my 'Our Rainbow Friends' blog.Angels Amber and Max DaWeenie and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807798367609376220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-74184315936028139582017-01-16T20:21:09.008-05:002017-01-16T20:21:09.008-05:00She knows she's safe now.

One very valuable lesson is about puppy mills and why not to support them and to do research before 'buying' a puppy. If I were ever to get another dog it would be a rescue. I strongly suspect that Gracie came from a puppy mill though I did not know what one was at the time I went to get her. The place was clean and organized.... but still... she did not take me back to look at the puppies but instead brought them all outside to greet me... how can you tell if you are dealing with a puppy mill? Probably ask more questions for one thing, right? Sorry I'm rambling...

At a year and a half, she's already had a litter of puppies. she was spayed on Monday. She is the smallest hottie I've ever had, and I can't help but think that the early breeding affected her. She is quite quirky. I "rescued" her primarily because she got along with Otto. That part is working out very well. The rest...we'll take a day at a time. Eva, you've landed in the right place!rottroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040584911302243673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-79298470025170109162017-01-14T19:19:41.657-05:002017-01-14T19:19:41.657-05:00Whatever her future brings we know that Eva will b...Whatever her future brings we know that Eva will be happy with you and you will make her as comfortable as possible.Millie and Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880442203258355043noreply@blogger.com
