Good Progress + New Pics
Yesterday, Kurt headed over to Marie's to help with Bruiser, Kink, Ruby Sue, Siouxsie Sioux and Black Eye Pea. Marie and Boni have been working miracles with these little pups. Below are a few pics taken at Marie's yesterday. Increasingly chunky pups! coming along as you can see from the puppy pics below. All 10 are still fighting the bottle somewhat, some more than others and only 2 have been needing fluids occasionally. All of the rest with both Boni and Marie are taking 3 - 6 oz. at each feeding of the formula. (This formula was given to us by Boni and it's guaranteed to help deliver chunky, healthy pups if you have to bottle feed. Email us and we'll send over the recipe.)
We're starting to get emails from potential interested adopters asking us what mix these pups are. The pups are still developing but from what we can tell so far, Momma Sweet Pea was what we've learned is called 'popular' and we do think these pups have at least a couple of different fathers. We think Momma Sweet Pea is a Pitt Bull/Pointer mix and we think the fathers of these pups could range anywhere from another Pitt Bull mix to unknown to possibly Saint Bernard mix in Bruiser's case.
Momma Sweet Pea continues to take her meds and supplements successfully and ate well yesterday even though we still have to get creative and add something extra yummy to her puppy chow (she is still underweight and needs the extra protein, etc.) and is going on more short walks.
With us personally being $200/300 in debt so far and an expected huge heating bill coming in the mail soon along with all the other misc. expenses (including upcoming vet bills) that will pile up between us, Boni and Marie before all the pups have found their forever homes, we're thinking of maybe doing a fundraiser here in ABQ and possibly online since many supporters of Momma Sweet Pea and her pups and our friends are spread out across the US and beyond. We'll post more details in the near future. Thank you so much to everyone who has mailed us gift cards to various stores and sent paypal contributions. We are still graciously accepting any gift cards at: Kurt Schlough, PO Box 25661, Albuquerque, NM, 87102 and paypal contributions can be sent directly to the email: kurtschlough@aol.com

Look at my fat little taters!!! So nice to have human company and help yesterday!
One of the things I could use right away is a heating disc or hot water bottle. I have only one AC outlet in the Jeep for a heating pad. So I have been having to get creative to keep the other crate warm.
Kurt will pick up a hot water bottle on his way to your place. He's looking forward to helping raise the puppy chunkiness factor :)
