The day we met Minnie is a day that we will never forget. We
watched that wagging tail walk out of the vet office with her belly hanging to
the ground. Minnie approached us with all the love she had to offer. Our new
foster girl came from a northern community where she had severe burns on her
back.... and she was ready to give birth any given day. She settled into her room,
and immediately soaked in the love and care we had for her. Five days of sitting
on pins and needles we anxiously awaited the birth of the Disney litter. Early
morning on April 28th, we heard the first squeak and the long day had begun.
After seeing the x-ray of her belly, we knew to expect a handful of at least 7
beautiful babies - however, after a panicked trip to the vet, a box of Kleenex
and 12 hours since the first squeak, we now needed to name all 11 happy,
healthy puppies! Minnie proved to be more amazing then anyone had ever given
her credit for, and gave her 11 puppies all she had to offer even though she
was going through so many things herself. The next few weeks flew by, and
before we knew it Minnie and her babies were ready to go to their forever
homes. It seemed hard to believe - but as we watched those puppies leave the
house one by one, we knew we would never forget Minnie. We learned a lot about
love and patience from her, and she will always hold a special place in our
hearts.
