Marley "Milagro" (Marley Miracle)
She is 12 weeks old and BEAUTIFUL! I have had dogs in the past, but have NEVER bonded with any like I have Marley! She adores our 8 year old son, and is such a cuddle bug.
When we purchased Marley she was under weight and sick. She weighed in at 1.2lbs at 8 weeks old. She was vomiting and had watery diarrhea. She would not eat, drink, or play. Our Vet told us she would probably die. She was hypoglycemic and in need of LOVE. Our vet was amazing... without a shadow of a doubt we decided to take necessary action to "try" and save our little dog. We would hospitalize her during the day, and I insisted on bringing her home at night. We woke up with her every 3 hours to try and make her eat. We fed her small amounts of honey to bring her sugar up, and in the morning right back to the hospital for IV fluids, antibiotics, and attempts at eating. After 4 days we brought her home. Her weight went down to 15oz...but her personality was growing. Now only 4 weeks later, our little Marley "Milagro" is strong and healthy!!!
We bonded over the period of her illness, since we only had her 2 days when she fell ill. Some thought we were crazy for fighting for her, and not getting our money back... but our "miracle" puppy had such a fight in her! She is fully trained on her puppy pads and seems so easy to train. She picks up on everything we are teaching her so far. We are totally in love and welcome her as a now healthy and fully cleared by our vet. A wonderful addition to our family!!!
