[Diana]

I'll be waiting, I love puppies !!!

[doberpagegirl]

I can't wait!! I have to though. I will take TONS of pictures. We have some newspaper to bring down too, I know you'll need them for all these puppies.

[Melinda]

I am waiting with anticipation.........

[Diana]

How are the puppies doing? Keeping Arda busy and out of trouble? Can't wait to see some picture's. Can you just give some clue's ? Black ? Red? Boy? Girl?

[doberpagegirl]

Black and Blue....3 boys, all black, a blue girl and a tiny little black girl. They are so precious. The littlest girl really needs all the good thoughts we can send. She is so tiny, she is fighting just to make it. Arda is feeding her with a bottle, she can't feed from mama, she isn't strong enough. Please keep little Thumbelina in your prayers. They visited the vet today, and the other 4 are all happy, healthy, and so so sweet. Arda will tell the story of the "delivery" better than me, so I'll leave that for her. The mama is named Charlotte. She is only just a year old herself. She is a good mama, and a very sweet tempered girl. The pups are only two days old. Now for the pictures!!

Well, here's what happened.......Judy Oisten from Michdogrescue list emailed me that there was a male and a female Dobe at Eaton County AC. I told her we would take them and she offered to pull them and bring them to Jackson. So on Tuesday, the pull day, I was off to Jackson. Anyone ever see the relic I use for a cell phone. It is not very reliable. So the first call says "I'll be late. The female......" So I wait. Next call says "Whelping.." I call home and get ole Jill. "Swimming pools, clean and take to house..." next call "Move dogs out of their room.." Then "Puppies" Well here comes Judy. The female had the first pups on the cement floor of the dog pound and one in route down to me. So there is another Madd Hatters Wild Ride. And we have puppies AGAIN.

Arda-You have the most adventurous life!

The puppies are adorable! I think I like the last picture is the best..Charlotte asleep with a puppy curled into her neck.

[Cheri]

These pictures of Charlotte with her puppies have really touched my heart. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you to Arda, Jill, Judy and everyone involved in getting this sweet girl and her babies (and the male that was with her) into rescue. This world is a better place, a much, much better place, because of people like you. Sending extra prayers your way for Thumbelina.

[Diana]

Thank you for the heartwarming story on these beautiful pup's and mom, thank goodness they got to you.
Thanks for the picture's, they all look great and sending special hugs to the little girl for her strength to grow up strong. Special thanks to Arda and staff for making this happen.

[shromada]

Wow! What an amazing adventure! Thank you Arda, Jill, and Judy for helping out these beautiful creatures! The puppies are just too adorable. My thoughts are with little Thumbelina.

[Nancy Robinson]

OH MY GOD IS ALL I CAN SAY

Not true, this is just wonderful, beyond wonderful, these pictures are just heart warming
although it makes me cry. It goes to show there are still wonderful people in
this world and one is SECOND CHANCE. God Bless all of you for this rescue and
God Bless all the other rescues in this world. My prayers are for the little one
especially, but for all of them. If anyone can pull the little one thru it
will be Arda and the Mom. The Mom looks sooooooooooo sweet and I
am sure she feels confortable knowing she is in the best hands, Arda.

Nancy

May you always have Love to Share
Health to Spare and
Friends who Care

They are just adorable. Thumbelina you may be small but I bet your mighty. One of the vets I work with didn't think Kiera would be as big as she is. Thought she would be small like Dakota. Wrong she's taller than her and coming up close to the same height as Myles. If I only had room for one more.

OMG! They are so precious. Mom looks like she's doing OK, too. Thank you, Arda, for all that you do. Little Thumbelina will be in my prayers.

OMG MY PUPPY FEVER JUST WENT THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!! So adorable....wish I could convince hubby for a 3rd dog.....

[Pam]

They are soo cute! When we adopted our first Dobe, Sadie, she surprised us with two pups & they were a handfull. Can't imagine what five will be like! Maybe, five times the fun?

[LuvmydobeApollo]

[Arda]

Thumbelina is still holding on. She is so very frail and so very tiny. She is crawling around a little and can hold her head up too but she is so small and so very weak.

[LStevens]

We're all praying for her, Arda. If anyone can bring her through, I know you can.


Linda

[Diana]

Sending healing and strength prayer's for Thumbelina.
