I went through that when I was 7-8 Larry Send a noteboard - 07/01/2013 09:28:12 PM
I hate having to deal with training animals to not crap or piss in the house so I only agreed to get the dog since the woman said she had just had puppies. The dog gave birh late in the night on December 30 (happy birthday to me) and into the morning of the 31st. Two were stillborn (one with a hole in it's chest) and another refused to nurse. Throughout the next several days we tried to get the puppy to nurse from a bottle and eventually got her to eat a little through a medicine dropper. It wasn't enough to keep her going though and she died two nights ago. My four year old son was there with my wife and Ii when it happened and asked, "Why did the puppy die?"

This is turning out to be kinda depressing so I'll end with this: I'm on course to finish up my Associate's Degree after the summer semester and then I can transfer to a different school for my Bachelor's Degree.


Within a year and a half, all of the litter was dead due to diseases or getting run over. Nothing says fun like one contracting a paralysis-like illness and my dad getting the shotgun out. We were told to stay inside, but the report of the gun was quite loud. :(

Best of luck on the degree! I'm thinking of going back part-time later this year to work on an Ed.D. in either ESL or Special Ed.
