My kids found her while they were driving home, she was walking in a ditch on the side of the road, We figure she was 5 or 6 weeks old, she weighed a little under 5 lbs. She had never had solid food, based on her inability to eat it, so we would make her a mash and spoon feed her for a few days until she got the hang of it. she is a good dog, good listener, but skittish of strangers. Takes her a while to get used to new people. and she runs and hides when she is upset, which is pretty often.

That is great that you guys took her in and took care of her, and kept her. I love hearing about stories like that. Does she have one person that she loved to be with the most? I was just wondering because my parent's have a dog like that, and when she is uneasy, she likes to be by my parent's.

She seems to love being around all of us and our kid's friends, and the day care kids and their parents, as long as she has had time to get to know you. although she does seem to have a special relationship with my husband, But he would leave her sit up on his lap at night, while watching TV and I don't let the dogs on me. He kind of broke a house rule with her. "No dogs on the furniture or up on you."

That's great! Nothing better then a dog loving everyone. That's great that she has that special bond with your DH. We said no dog's on the furniture too, but now they have their own spots.

Well just got back from the vets. Peanut Butter actually had to have a shot. So hopefully this will work, I take her back in two weeks. The vet was great, she only charged me $14. I was stressing about the price. Well haven't heard anything from the mechanic yet, I will let you guys know, once I hear something. Please keep us in your prayers about the cost, and the out come of keeping the van. PLEASE

That would have been nice. It was $500. So not too bad, but not the best either. We are needing to get tires for the dang thing as well. Do thing's ever slow down?

Well this morning is starting off pretty good. Peanut Butter is herself this morning. The shot worked. So in two weeks we will be going in again. Hopefully this time, it will work, and I can see what she looks like with hair soon. The vet couldn't believe how much hair she has lost. She also said that the other vet gave us the smallest amount of meds, and she does more of the meds, especially with what she looks like. Oh well, at least we have a good vet for my rescue now.
The van drove so nice when I took the kids to school this morning. So it was well worth the money. My mechanic wants me to go back on Monday, he just wants to check everything over one more time. I love my mechanic.
We were finally getting over our colds, and then my brother in law moved in with us, and now Brie is starting to cough again. He is also starting to cough. Oh well.
I am still wanting a couple of baby goats, but I know I need to wait. With everything that we had to spend, and still need to spend, it wouldn't be fair to the family or goats. I love my chicks, they are so great! Well I hope you guys have a great day. Take care.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I am actually really worried about PB. This morning she was drooling. She is more active then before, but her appetite isn't there like usual. She did eat, but not what she normally does. I am praying that it's just the meds working. I will keep you updated. I won't be on here like I used to be. It's getting crazy around here again. I hope that you have a great day at work. Thanks for checking in.

I actually just had to put her down. That's great to hear about Whitney. I am going out with DH and we might get a hotel. So it will be a while before I get on here again. It's really hard for me that I lost her. It's not fair.

So sorry you lost PB. I hope you are able to enjoy time with your hubby and feel better when you return. You gave her a better life while she was with you, and that is something to remember.
