This does not even take into consideration the many thousands of dollars it is going to take to vet them to prepare for their special announcements.
 
These wee Labx beans, found nursing on their mom that was laying dead under a tractor, two with punctures, are now safe with us. I know that if they could they would also say THANK you to everyone for this lifesaving assistance. 
 
This is Miss Chill Busy Bean. She is as quiet and sweet as can be. She was the biggest bean when we first picked them up, .64 kg yet has moved down to 2nd place behind Miss Diva Princess Bean, and she may slide to 3rd place shortly, as others catch up.
 
She is another one that most may not notice in a crowd, hanging back, and letting others steal the limelight, yet, we do not allow that to happen.
 
She is patient and so content with life. She is excited about eating and makes the best cutest ‘trill’ sounds EVER! Baby Chewbacca!
 
She is strong and very mobile!
 
If you look closely, you will see that her nose was badly injured. It is slowly granulating, and I must be even more careful re: the temperature of the formula as it is still quite raw.
If only these puppies could speak.
 
They have now had three baths, and slowly we are getting all of the ‘ick’ off of them, and their dry flaky coats are beginning to slowly get a shine to them. They are getting excellent nutrition, a boatload of handling/love, not to mention top-notch vet care to help them grow up big and strong!
 
Today, I plan on weighing them, I just keep remembering to do so AFTER I feed – sleepy brain – yet, we will do so! Their weights as of Thursday, August 4th in emergency:
 
Puppy 1 – 0.38 kgs – deceased as of 8:49 AM Thursday, August 4th
 
Puppy 2 – 0.38 kgs as well – Miss Nola
 
Puppy 3 – 0.48 kgs – Miss Bev
 
Puppy 4 – 0.46 kgs – Mr. Albar
 
Puppy 5 – 0.56 kgs – Miss Maybelle Cutie
 
Puppy 6 – 0.64 kgs – Miss Ayla
 
Now that you have ‘met’ all five surviving pups, we will shortly set up our popular Name Game Fundraiser to try and raise much-needed funds for vetting – five pups to vaccinate, boosters x 2, exams, 4 spays, 1 neuter, flea/tick/hw meds, bloodwork, further investigating Miss Fighter Beans hind end, etc., not to mention food, formula, pee pads, Pinesol, toys, treats, dog beds, laundry detergent, liquid fabric softener and so on.
 
Puppies are wee, their needs are enormous!
