Update On Judy's Litter !

Blessed or cursed ! Frost's story is a real heart tug . He was whelped lifeless after being stuck in the birth canal too long . In a super human efford by Sandy at Harmony Animal Hospital , he was revived ! Then it was feared he would lose his leg as the cord was wrapped around & cut off circulation . He faced losing his leg or his life . He beat the odds & will keep his leg , thanks to Kate's care . Understandably there is a mystic bond between Sandy & Frosty . Tough 3 weeks for Frosty !

Sally is a girl I will keep . Bloodlines & bone , not her spot , decided she stays .

Leaves 5 pups for approved homes .

Expanded whelping area .

That's Maxwell Smart . I would kill for a dog like that ! Max was beloved by all that met him . He made his family so smitten with Cardigans they are interested in my retired Joanee . Saddly Max is no longer with us but leaves fond memories .
