It does make me happy to a ridiculous degree every time I see her now that she isn't a walking skeleton. Don't misunderstand, she is still very thin, but it is SO much better than when I first saw her.
Oh, she loves me. She comes running when she sees my car and sits on my steps waiting for me to go inside and come back out with food, or walks me to the neighbors house to get the "food" for her morning feeding. She loves to have her ears rubbed and the spot at the base of her tail scratched. Actually, she likes being scratched all over. Its no wonder, with the amount of fur that comes off her every time I touch her.
The remaining babies look fat and healthy. I am going to see if she will let me truly handle them when I am off this monday. I don't forsee any problems, since mom-dog apparently thinks I am the greatest thing since sliced bread, but even healthy dogs can be funny about their babies and the last thing I want to do is stress her, ya know?
