A Pug's life

My roommate Lois, has a fawn colored pug about 10 yrs old. She's had one litter.

Well Sabrina is getting old and feeble, and Lois has always wanted a black pug. Well this friend of hers who breeds pugs, had a pregnant female, and last Selene (the black pug) gave birth to one male. At least one other was stuck, and wouldn't come out.

Stacy, the owner tried all day, 3 diff vets took money from her to look at the dog and bled her dry of $, and didn't do jack shit for her since she didn't have $800 up front. So she drove like 110 miles in falling snow to come up to us to see what Lois could do. Lois put her fingers up in Selene and felt a foot, but no pulse. She thought maybe there was one behind that who couldn't get out.

So off to the vets we went. This doc was so good, he didn't soak us for money, and he didn't even x-ray, he knew what he had to do and that was an emergency C-section and spay while in there.

Well half an hour later, the news came, that the one Lois felt the foot of was a total breach and dead, had it's back to the birth canal, and was absolutely HUGE. Selene would never have gotten it turned around let alone pass a St. Bernard through a cat door.

In exchange for Lois's help finding a vet who would help, Stacy is giving Lois the mom, and Lois is keeping the pup only untill Selene stops feeding, then the pup is going back to Stacy.

The pup's name is Miracle, which is very appropriate, considering.

Selene is a lil cutie, I have to admit. First thing she does is pee on the carpet....lol....well duh....when she was in here before we went to the vet. We were expecting to see a rather large bellied, in pain dog. But Selene was running around and playing as though nothing was wrong. I was looking at her like....are you sure she has more in there? But had Lois not felt the other baby in there after I asked that, and decided that a vet was in order, Selene of course would have died. She's only 2 yrs old.

So now, we have a 2 yr old black pug, who is just coming out of the anesthesia, and a 1 day old black pug male who is finally nursing off his mom. And of course Sabrina is being miss lil protector through all this. Everytime she hears Selene whine, she goes running in there to see what's going on.

I don't think I'll be sleeping much tonight........lol
