font-family:Arial'>Our website for Gretchen and her pups is now back up and
running with new pictures! And if I can beg my way back in, there will be
more new pictures after this weekend. BBR is please to report that all 6
puppies and mom Gretchen are doing well. Foster mom was very concerned
about the little girl, the last to be born. She was not thriving like the
rest of the litter. However, with many supplemental feedings and fluids,
little girl has now started suckling on her own and is showing a more normal
activity level. She is only half the size of her big brothers but we are now
getting hopeful that she will make it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Gretchen is doing the best she can to take good care of
these babies but she is very skinny and feeding all these hungry pups is
pulling the nourishment back out of her as quickly as the foster mom can get it
in. Whatever Miss Gretchen will eat is provided and she is tempted with
treats constantly. All Drool is being accepted and please cross those
paws for continued improvement for the entire family. BBR feels so lucky
to have such an experienced foster home taking care of this crew, it is not an
easy task. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The first few pictures were pre-delivery. Gretchen was
tucking herself into all sorts of strange places trying to get “comfortable”.
She still has a tendency to try and crawl into small places. Perhaps it
makes her feel more secure. Also some pictures of the little girl next to
her BIG brother. Please note, Gretchen has dirty feet because she has
been out playing in the mud in her big fenced in back yard, just a little girl
herself.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
