00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,120
Hello friends, welcome to Rough Life!

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:17,880
We had a great transport day today with lots of critters, so I've got quite a few stories

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,360
to tell you.

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,320
But before I begin, I realized last week I didn't give you any identifying details about

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,600
each litter other than their litter size.

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,120
And it worked for last week's transport, but it certainly would not work for all of them,

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,120
like today's specifically.

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,800
So I'm going to refer to them by their transport name now.

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,240
And in case you aren't familiar with how that works, each transport has an overall

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,600
theme.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,880
So this week's theme is Crayola Cran colors.

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Every animal is named after a crayon, and animals that start with the same letter are

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,960
from the same litter, and dogs with a letter that no one else has came up alone.

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,360
So all of the R names are the seven Doberman Mix puppies.

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,440
But Dandelion doesn't have any litter mates, so he's the only one with a name that starts

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,360
with the letter D.

17
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,400
We do this for multiple reasons, but worst case scenario, if an animal ends up being

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,840
sick we can say, this puppy is sick, any puppy that starts with this letter needs to be brought

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,440
in for testing, and any puppy named within this theme needs to be watched closely.

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,680
It just helps us quickly and easily keep track of who's related to whom and who's been exposed

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,680
to whom.

22
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Anyway, let's get started.

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,320
Dandelion is a 10-ish month old miniature pincher mix.

24
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,480
He showed up at someone's door and just wouldn't leave.

25
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,840
She lived right on the four lane highway, so she was really worried that he would get

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,400
run over if he did decide to wander away, so she took him in and she tried to find his

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,400
owner.

28
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,840
She ended up keeping him for over a week and when she never figured out who he belonged

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,600
to she asked us to take him.

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,560
Kryptonite is a three month old lab mix with an absolutely horrific story.

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,360
She was found over a month ago wandering with electrical tape wrapped around her mouth.

32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Her mouth was taped up so tightly that she couldn't open it at all.

33
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,680
The finders couldn't even get the tape off of her because of how tight it was taped to

34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760
her, so they rushed her to the vet.

35
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,240
It's the same vet we use, so we know he's seen a ton of awful things because we bring

36
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,040
half of them in.

37
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,400
And this was the first time I have ever seen him truly disgusted by something that happened

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,720
to an animal.

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
When they got the tape off of her mouth they could immediately tell that something was

40
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,400
wrong because she wasn't eager to eat or drink anything and after everything she had been

41
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
through she definitely should have been.

42
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,800
So they did a parbo test and they realized she was a very sick little pup.

43
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,760
The finders went ahead and kept her during her treatment and they worked around the clock

44
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,960
to get her well again and when she was finally feeling better they asked us if we could take

45
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,360
her and find her the home that she deserves.

46
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,780
Jazzberry Jam is a ten week old cada hula mix.

47
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:17,360
She was thrown over the fence into the play yard at our local doggie daycare one night

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,160
when the workers got there the next morning she was hiding in the corner.

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,680
They've kept her the last few weeks for us until we got room on transport to send her.

50
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Electric Lime was found on the side of the road.

51
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840
The finders kept him and looked for the owners but they never found one.

52
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880
Because they're in the city limits they could have just called the kill shelter to come

53
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,960
pick him up but they went ahead and held on to him for us until we could get him on transport.

54
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,840
The W letter of two lab mixes were found roaming around in the city limits.

55
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,360
A kind lady saw them and picked them up to take them to the shelter so that they wouldn't

56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,640
get run over and the shelter told them that they couldn't take them since she was dropping

57
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,080
them off and she didn't live in the city limits.

58
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,920
They said that she could have just called animal control and left them there and she

59
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,600
explained her concerns about them getting run over in the city and they told her well

60
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,600
if you're insisting on us taking them then it's considered an owner surrender now and

61
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,840
you need to pay us $50.

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,080
The V letter of two Aussie mixes were found at a fishing club.

63
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,920
They had been dumped there to fend for themselves and they took shelter under the stairs of

64
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,720
an abandoned house.

65
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,880
The last three German short hair pointers with G names are on this transport.

66
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,880
I told you their story last week when the first four were sent so go listen to that

67
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,560
if you missed it.

68
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,520
But I did just want to add something real quick.

69
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,840
I didn't talk much about the actual result of the cruelty case so the owner surrendered

70
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:48,080
all seven dogs to get out of paying any fines or even potentially jail time which I doubt

71
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,000
he would have gotten but it was on the table.

72
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,600
But and this is a super big deal for Mississippi.

73
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,840
He actually legally cannot own another dog for seven years.

74
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,640
This is the first time I'm ever hearing of that being enforced down here.

75
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,920
I'm not saying it hasn't happened before I'm sure it has but just not in any of my cases.

76
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,960
So this is a huge step forward for animal welfare in Mississippi and I can't believe

77
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,160
I forgot to mention that last week.

78
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,840
The T letter of three lab mixes were owner surrenders.

79
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:25,920
This was actually the owner's personal dog who just never got spayed and unaltered male

80
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,920
wandered into their yard and got their female pregnant.

81
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,240
They surrendered the puppies and are very happy to get the mama spayed for free.

82
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,400
The F letter of four labs were found in the middle of the road.

83
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,560
There was another puppy and what we think was a mama dog with them when they were first

84
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,760
seen but when the finders went back to get them they couldn't find the fifth puppy or

85
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,760
the mom.

86
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,720
They actually live close to there so they looked for weeks but they never saw the mama

87
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000
or the puppy again.

88
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,760
The S letter of four healer mixes were originally a mama and four puppies.

89
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520
They were dumped at an abandoned house and the neighbor was feeding them and taking care

90
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,600
of them.

91
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,000
They were eventually moved into a foster home down here and the foster just fell in love

92
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,120
with the mama dog.

93
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,760
She had to keep her.

94
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,800
So she will be spayed and she'll live her life as an indoor dog.

95
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,640
She's just gonna do it without the whole transport part and do it down here.

96
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,320
The C letter of eight were an owner surrender a pregnant mama just wandered up into their

97
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,920
yard and gave birth.

98
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,800
The mama is so sweet so they have no problem keeping her.

99
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,800
They just didn't want to have to find homes for eight puppies.

100
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,560
They were very happy to surrender the puppies in exchange for getting the mama spayed for

101
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,640
free.

102
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,560
The R letter is the letter of seven Doberman mixed puppies.

103
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,200
This is another fairly weird story.

104
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,120
The mama dog of these puppies was actually stolen from the owner while she was still

105
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,720
pregnant with them.

106
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,560
They were given to a rescue under the guise that she was found as a pregnant stray.

107
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,760
When she delivered the puppies, the puppies were actually pretty sick so the rescue surrendered

108
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,280
them to me.

109
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,320
After doing some searching on Facebook pages, I found the post of the dog's owner looking

110
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,120
for the dog.

111
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,400
Long story short, she surrendered all of the puppies to me but she did want the mama dog

112
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,400
back.

113
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,720
She was very happy to let us spay the mom for her though so that mama dog will not be having

114
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,120
any more puppies.

115
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:31,000
Mumbo Jumbo is a dashhound mix and she and her puppies are part of the M letter and they

116
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
are a letter I will never forget.

117
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,240
We pulled Mumbo and her sister who at the time had five newborn puppies from a kill

118
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,720
shelter.

119
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Mumbo was severely pregnant, like Belly dragged the ground pregnant.

120
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,160
We were originally hoping she could go on the airplane transport that we had planned

121
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,600
five days later that her sister and those puppies actually went on but the pilots were

122
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680
concerned that she was too pregnant to fly.

123
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Not because it's dangerous to give birth in the air or anything but because they were

124
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,800
afraid her juices would spill out into their plane and it would cause them a fortune to

125
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,240
clean it up.

126
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:16,080
So MJ hunkered down with me in my dining room because at the time the Doberman mama and

127
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,920
newborn puppies were in my laundry room and we waited patiently for these babies to arrive.

128
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Well I guess patiently isn't the right word because this hussey was so big I was certain

129
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,840
every single day she was going to deliver them that day but she never did.

130
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,040
So on a Friday afternoon I took her to my vet to get an x-ray done.

131
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,560
This was done for several reasons but mainly just so we could get a head count so we would

132
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:44,200
know how many puppies to be expecting.

133
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,880
That way if one of them gets stuck we would be aware of it and we could get her to the

134
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,560
vet before it's a life threatening emergency.

135
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,960
We usually do this for small breed mamas when we're not sure who they've been bred

136
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,960
with.

137
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,840
The dad could be a very large breed which could make the puppies too big for the mom

138
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,440
to push out naturally on her own.

139
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,320
So you want to get a head count just so you know if there's a big old puppy still stuck

140
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,120
in there it won't die and it's not going to kill the mom because you're aware and you're

141
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,520
going to get them to the vet in time.

142
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,600
So the vet counted eight puppies and they were fairly confident that she wouldn't have

143
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,040
any problems delivering them herself.

144
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,960
They also said it could happen any minute or it could be two weeks from now.

145
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,680
So the waiting game continued and we actually went to my parents house to celebrate my birthday

146
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:35,400
and went home later that evening to prepare for the airplane transport the next morning.

147
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,400
No.

148
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,920
If you've listened to all of the introductory episodes you know I took this job because

149
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,960
I was promised I could sleep in every day.

150
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Obviously that's not the only reason I took this job but it's for real a very big reason.

151
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,320
I'll be the first one to tell you, ya girl is not a morning person.

152
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,080
If you need someone to jump up and help you at a moment's notice at 10 o'clock at night

153
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,080
that's me.

154
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,080
I got you.

155
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Let's go.

156
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,760
10 p.m. to 2 a.m. is my prime time.

157
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,920
But if you need someone to spring into action at 10 o'clock in the morning I am not the

158
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,040
girl for the job.

159
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,840
I need at least four to six business days notice so I can stockpile my sleep in preparation

160
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,880
for that very early morning.

161
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,120
So I was already dreading the airplane transport day only because it was going to require me

162
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,640
to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning.

163
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,080
That's like actual morning people morning time.

164
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,240
That's middle of the night for me.

165
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,040
So I'm getting ready to go to bed that night you know very early around 1 a.m. and I'm

166
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,040
noticing that MJ is acting a little funny.

167
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,600
She's a little pacy.

168
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,120
She's breathing pretty heavy.

169
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,040
She's turning down treats.

170
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,760
She's acting like her body knows something terrible is about to happen to it.

171
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,400
But there's really nothing I can do for her in this stage.

172
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,320
So I set up my nanny camera and I head to bed.

173
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,080
At 2 a.m. she wakes me up to go potty.

174
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,520
I open her crate and turn to open the back door and she runs into the kitchen and pees

175
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,760
on the floor.

176
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,960
And as I'm cleaning that up she runs into the living room and poops.

177
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Like seriously?

178
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,120
But I'm not mad.

179
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,520
She's like 900 days pregnant at this point.

180
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,520
I understand.

181
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,000
I get everything cleaned up.

182
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,440
I put her back to bed and I finally get myself settled back into bed around 2 30 that morning.

183
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,160
3 30 rolls around and she's making all kinds of racket.

184
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,000
She was so loud even the best noise machine money can buy wasn't drowning her out.

185
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,320
So I go out in the dining room and I see she's in full blown labor.

186
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Now I've birthed a lot of puppies in my ears.

187
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,000
It's typically a one man show.

188
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,240
I'm just there for moral support to cheer them on but they do all the work.

189
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,240
For about an hour of sitting with MJ though I'm noticing that she's pushing pretty hard

190
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,440
and there's just a little bubble hanging out of her that's not going any further.

191
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,160
By 4 30 I'm now on the phone with our vet that we saw just a few hours prior and Dr.

192
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,160
Burton.

193
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,080
Both agree she needs to go to the emergency vet and both agree it just doesn't make any

194
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,680
sense for me to drive her an hour and a half to the vet in Mississippi when there's an

195
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:18,280
emergency clinic that I could literally walk to from my house here in Alabama.

196
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,520
So I call the clinic I give them a heads up that will be there soon and we get ready to

197
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,520
go.

198
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:30,000
Also fun little fact I'm actually super allergic to cats and dogs.

199
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,240
I know I know but anyways I somehow when I was putting my contacts in you know so I could

200
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,640
actually see the other cars on the road while I was driving to the emergency room got a

201
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,680
piece of dog hair between my eyeball and my contact.

202
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:51,640
Of course I didn't realize it until we were at the clinic and my whole body went into attack

203
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,240
mode and I literally couldn't speak a full sentence without sneezing and that I was swelling

204
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,760
shut by the minute and watering so bad it looked like I was crying from one eye.

205
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,760
So embarrassing.

206
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,000
Anyway we're at the vet about five minutes later so you know how it seems like paramedics

207
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,960
are moving in slow motion when there's an emergency but really it's just because they're staying

208
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,720
calm and you're panicking.

209
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,240
Okay that was me at this emergency vet.

210
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,080
I walked in with MJ in my arms and half of a puppy sack hanging out of her that she can't

211
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,800
squeeze out and I'm thinking I'm about to bust in the store they'll see my panic they'll

212
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,960
quickly realize the seriousness by the lack of makeup that I'm wearing and they're going

213
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520
to immediately rush her into surgery.

214
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,560
No time to scrub in just lay her out on the floor spray bed a dime all over her and get

215
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,600
these puppies out of her.

216
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,360
No it was not like that at all.

217
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,600
They took her temperature to see if it had dropped below 100 degrees to show that she

218
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,280
was in labor.

219
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:02,760
Um ma'am that's a puppy head hanging out her hoo-ha we are deep in labor over here.

220
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,080
They asked to do an ultrasound to check the puppy's heart rates to see if they were in

221
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,080
fetal distress.

222
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Ma'am I can tell you mine right now from my Apple watch and it's saying I need to do

223
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,480
some serious meditation and deep breathing because I'm in so much distress.

224
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Then they asked if they could do an x-ray to see where in the birth canal this puppy

225
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,200
was.

226
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Ma'am do you not see that puppy head prairie dogging back there right now?

227
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,680
I think I can pretty accurately tell you where the other half of him is at.

228
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,120
But in all seriousness I fully understand that there are rules and procedures and reasons

229
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,520
behind all of these things and they were so kind and they were so professional.

230
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,600
But this was my baby and we were so stressed.

231
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,520
So I am thankful that they didn't meet my anxiety and chaos with their own or we would

232
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,400
have all just lost our minds but it really did seem like time was standing still when

233
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,080
we got there.

234
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,520
The praise Jesus when they took her back there to get that x-ray they had to place her on

235
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,000
her back and sister girl freaked out.

236
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,520
She fought to get back on her feet and somehow during that wrestling match she strained so

237
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:22,960
hard that the puppy shot right out of her and he was alive which was shocking.

238
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,840
So because she technically delivered the first one herself and he was alive they sent us

239
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,720
home and told me to just follow up with our regular vet if there were any more complications.

240
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:40,080
By 6.30 that morning mama and newborn puppy were snuggled up resting and I was basically

241
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,880
army crawling to the couch for my last 30 minutes of sleep.

242
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,040
When I woke up MJ had delivered two more puppies on her own and after talking with Dr. Burton

243
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:55,720
and giving my husband Justin a crash course in birthing babies I felt comfortable leaving

244
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,600
them home for the day while I went to the airplane transport to send her sister and

245
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,800
her five puppies off to Virginia.

246
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Mumbo did deliver all eight puppies on her own.

247
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,000
I am so proud of her.

248
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Unfortunately two weren't fully developed and they did not come out alive.

249
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,200
This is fairly common when a mama dog isn't given proper nutrition when they're pregnant

250
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,600
and we're afraid that's probably what happened here.

251
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,080
But we are so glad that Mumbo and all six of her puppies are happy and healthy after

252
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,480
a very dramatic birth.

253
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,120
As for the kitties on this transport there are two cats.

254
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:40,940
One is a pregnant orange female which I'm told is fairly rare.

255
00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:46,200
She was found in an abandoned house last year as a newborn kitten and had to be bottle fed.

256
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,540
There's also a two year old Maine Coon who has been surrendered because the owner's new

257
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:52,800
husband is very allergic to him.

258
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,400
We certainly made up for last week's somewhat smaller transport this week.

259
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,880
We've got 46 on this one which is fantastic because it's going to be five weeks until

260
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,120
our next transport.

261
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:10,800
