The past couple of weeks have gone past with much room to breath. We got a new addition to the family after visiting a few animal shelters to adopt a stray dog to get a friend for our other dog "Bovril" as he is always full of energy and our cats were taking a bit of a thrashing . 
After having the pup for a week , we noticed that she was not feeling well , and as the jabs were due, decided to take her slightly early to the Vet. Well we had a huge shock, she had "Parvo Virus" and we were asked what course of action to take - i.e. put her down as the prognosis for survival is not good - especially only being 8 weeks old, or gamble and try and get her through it with drips, medication and loads of special care.
Well after several nail biting nights and emotional days "Baby" has come home and is now taking it easy and recovering happily. Of course the family is feeling relieved that all is ok.
It is amazing the emotions that can be attached to a pet in such a short timeframe.
Of course the pound was not pleased to hear the news as they had to follow up with the other adopted pet owners and had a massive cleanup of their kennels.
Baby is now doing well and will soon get a name - this is now the most difficult task for us, she is absolutly minute in size, but as is shown , a real fighter.
