Yes, that's Marley in my avatar. And yes, Maggie's a tan with some white and an undertone of black in certain areas. I think when she gets big (you notice I'm to attached to her already so she has to pull through) the black will fade out completely as it's so faint. So, she and Marley will be exactly alike in color. Marley will be taller, obviously at about 11 inches tall, but Maggie will be longer (about as long as Marley is tall) :tongue: Oh, I just know she was meant to be with us :)
I sat her next to a pop can last night, and the pop can is bigger than her, lol.
awwww to cute Holly Kayla will have to make some baby bows for your new addtion ; )
And, since Marley started to watch over Maggie right away, they should get along very well.Quote:

She was taking a few licks out of Marley's water dish, but now, she won't even take it off our finger :bawling: I'm really scared that she had heartworm or something worse. I doubt she has the parvo virus as she is still somewhat active and hasn't vomited at all. I was washing her with the facecloth again yesterday and discovered even more of the bites and tiny lumps she has all over her body. We have checked her really well for bug and fleas (before bringing her into the rv) and she doesn't have any, so this is probably from her living conditions before we bought her. The vet is opened today and I'm calling first thing to try and get her in there today! Whatever the cost, we need to try out best to keep this little girl alive...she has stolen our hearts. My dh treats her like she is a fragile china doll and carries her everywhere. When she falls asleep, she nuzzles against his neck, just like he's her mom.
Awww.Cute.:)Quote:

so damn cute, geeee
and i want to know what happened to anyone doing this, crapola
sorry not sure what could be done
Down here in Texas, it seems any animals are worth nothing. Most times they are treated like garbage. It make me want to cry. They do have laws against abuse and mistreatment of animals, but nobody seems to care and I really don't think the laws are enforced much, if at all. The lady at Petco, she's from Wisconsin and she was saying it makes her sick to her stomach the way animals are treated down here.
Aww poor little mite! hope the vet visit goes well. She's lucky to have you on her side.
Hoping and praying for good news Holly!
Hoping you got good news Holly!! I keep checking to see if you posted, I am very eager to hear what happened at the vet.
I've just been reading and likeing until the last bit.
I hope Maggie will be fine.
and updates on 'our' little Maggie.. hoping she's ok and snuggling with her 'Daddy'
Sooo, here's the update, and I'm still spitting mad....I'm soooo angry right now, I called the Mission vet hospital that everyone recommended and they said we can see her next Monday :shrug: I said...NO, you have to see her today, the guy said well, if you want to come as a walk in, we will see you but we charge $150, plus the regular vet charge :bawling: So I called about 4 other vets near here, after I got off the phone with this guy, and they were all the same :rant: I actually started crying on the phone, I'm so upset, I explained everything and the guy said "Oh, that's normal, it's not the end of the world if she dies! :eek: I blew my stack at him, then when I was done, I told him to F.O.!!!!:yikes: Sooo, I had to call another vet clinic, and they said Friday at 12:40 so here we sit. I went back to the pet store and bought some de-wormer $65, but it says not to give to dogs under 6 weeks of age, so I haven't given it to her yet, I'm scared to. I purchased some waterless foam shampoo and cleaned her up good, then bought some anti itch lotion and gave her a good little rub down, she likes her belly rubbed :tongue: We bought more of the mousse, and she started drinking a tiny bit of water again, and eating some more, so I have my fingers crossed as we wait.....
It doesn't sound like even if you can get her in to the vet they will be all that helpful!! It sounds like you are doing all you can for her though. I think you got a feeding kit? With a syringe? Try and use that too, you should be able to water down the mousse a bit to feed her that way, and it gets food and water in her. Fingers are crossed for you all.
