Some of you might remember my post in the pet pics thread about a dog I rescued from an abusive home who I named Lola. I spent a lot of time with her, teaching her that not all humans are mean and neglectful. She bounced back relatively quickly, from slinking around, hiding and piddling when approached to running around, playing and pouncing on me, grumbling when I wasn't petting her enough and sleeping on my belly. <br /><br />She came to me pregnant with 4 puppies and delivered them successfully on the morning of Sept 19th; there were 3 girls and a boy. The boy pup got jumped on (on accident) by his mom who was over-excited after playing and had to be euthanized because of a broken neck. The other pups are healthy, happy and super playful.<br /><br />This morning Lola got into contact with some warfarin. I suspect she ate a poisoned critter. She had a series of severe seizures and ultimately died from internal bleeding. It took me all day to calm down enough to write this post, I'm sorry if I seem to be rambling.<br /><br />One pup has gone to her new home with a family here in Moses Lake. They named her Dutchess. She now lives with her new mom and dad, a bulldog and 4 kids.<br /><br />One pup (the runt) is being adopted by my grandmother, who is driving over to get her this weekend from Boise. <br /><br />I will be keeping the other girl, who was the first puppy to be born. I named her Embla (old Norse lore reference), she will be joining me at the RTR.<br /><br />Here's a picture of her at 1 week old, before her eyes were open.<br /><br /><img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e319/pocketxcub/Lola/pups/1st girl out/SDC10445_zpsd699490a.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="385" /><br /><br />
