New Addition

Timmy and I have become puppy parents!!  She is the SWEETEST thing ever!  She is a wire haired terrier.  Right now she is about 6 pounds, and will probably get to about 20 or so.


This is her...we call her Molly.

It has been a whirlwind since we got her. We got home with her around noon yesterday.  Around 3 she started throwing up. :( saddest thing ever.  She wouldn't eat anything and really wouldn't play.  I thought she might just be stressed from all of the changes, or that the treat she ate in the car upset her tummy.  She threw up again and had diarrhea.  Molly did really well through the night.  She only had to go outside once in the night. Amazing! But then again, she hadn't been feeling too great.  This morning she threw up again.  Timmy and I took her to the puppy ER.  She got an antibiotic shot, a shot for nausea, and fluids.  She did not like the shots at all. :(  It was the first time she even whimpered though.  She has been so good.

So now, she's a little lethargic still, and not eating much. But she is eating some!!! Yay!! This is what she has done most of the day.

So...the lady we got her from has been awesome.  We emailed her to let her know what was going on.  Some of the other puppies she has were showing some of the same signs.  She took them to the vet, and they tested positive for Parvo. :( So we're pretty sure that is what Molly has.  Our vet this morning told us that if it is Parvo, we caught it early and it is treatable.  I sure hope so.  This little girl has already stolen my heart. I'm ready for her to feel better so we can see her personality come out again.  She does love to be outside in the grass...she perks up when she goes outside.

We will go back to the vet tomorrow.  I'm sure Molly will be quarantined for a while, but I'll have to ask him how long.  When she gets better, she needs to meet all her aunts and uncles and cousins.  She's a good friend.

Welcome to the Collins family Molly!
