This is my first blog on Doodle Kisses....this is a great place and I think I will be getting more time now to check it all out.....what has taken up my time? A new baby doodle.....we stumbled upon this site looking for a new puppy and a week ago today we brought her home.

Here she is.....her name is Wheezy:

She was born May 17, 2010........we drove 3 hours last Saturday to pick her up...and 3 hours back......what should have been a happy ride home was actually a nightmare....

When we arrived at the breeders home....she was just returning home from a soccer game with her children......she had us come in the garage and there was Wheezy.....somehow she was out of her cage along with another little dog.

The breeder picked her up and asked if it was ok to give her a bath....we said...that's ok....then she handed her in the door to one of her daughters and told her to blow her dry.....they took her into the bathroom and shut the door.

We talked and waited for what seemed forever......we paid for our new puppy and received our paper work......then the breeder went and got our puppy and insisted on clipping her toe nails!!!

That's when the nightmare started.....she not only cut her nail too short on one front paw....she cut a nail too short on the other one too!!! They both were bleeding terribly!!!

She gave me the puppy....and by that time.....our heads was spinning.....and we loaded our puppy in the car and drove away.

We had a 3 hour trip ahead of us with a little puppy with bloody feet....how sad!! I was glad I had a couple towels in the back to wrap her little feet in. We had only drove maybe a few miles....and we noticed our new puppy was not well.....she wheezed really bad!! And then after being so concerned with her toes bleeding....I realized we hadn't even seen her walk!!! We pulled over at the first place we could and let her walk around a little.....it didn't matter to me if she was sick.....I had already fallen in love with that little puppy. I realized something else as we traveled farther.....she had the worst breath....the odor could knock you down!!!

On Friday I had made an appointment at the vet to have her check out on Monday afternoon....and we worried all weekend.

Monday finally came.....and off to the vet we went.....her little heart checked out fine...no murmers...and her lungs they thought was ok...there was such a echo the vet said from her wheezing and trying to catch her breath.....and the breath?.....well our little puppy had the worst gum infection they had ever seen in a 3 month old puppy.....in older dogs, yes....but not a 3 month old puppy.....her teeth were broken...and her gums at the top had green pussy areas......it was horrible!!!

They immediately put her on medications and wormed her.....she has taken two pills a day and we have had to give her liquid medication with a syringe once a day.....she didn't like that!!! LOL

On to the happy ending......I took her back to the vet Friday.....and she is quickly getting a clean bill of health!!! Her breath smells like puppy breath....and her gums are rapidly healing!!! We are hoping that the infection didn't hurt the roots to her adult teeth......only time will tell......

She is the best little puppy!!! It has been circus here for the last week....Ellie is having a ball with her new sister......dog toys everywhere......running barking....playing hard. Today is the fist day they both have been relaxing.....finally!!!

I took this picture of Ellie the other day...and I thought she had the cutiest expression....

And here is a picture of Ellie and Wheezy together....

Our little doodle family is complete.....and I guess I felt I needed to blog our experience so others are aware and they look their puppies over better than we did.....that was the first time I have ever bought a dog over the internet from a breeder. Let the buyer beware is more than just a slogan. Just because you buy from a breeder is not guarantee you are buying a prefectly healthy dog.

I bet you have figured out how she got the name Wheezy......Butch started calling her that on the way home and the name fit.

This is Ellie and Wheezy resting as I write this.....they have bonded, relaxed and it looks like I'm going to have some of my computer time back!!

Hope everyone is having a doodle of a day!!

Wheezy is adorable. So happy to know that she has a loving family to take care of her!

Thanks Shelly.....you know....once I got that puppy in my arms there was no way I could let her go. The gum infection actually gave her sinus infection which makes her wheez.....and it's getting better. My vet has her on 2 pills a day for 3 weeks....then it's another check up and her last round of shots.
You know I actually would buy one on line again.....Wheezy is a F1b Merle Chocolate doodle and I feel in love with the color of her....but I will be a lot more cautious!!

Thanks Donna.....Wheezy played with Ellie everyday...but she would take naps under the kitchen table and now she is following us around and wanting hugs and kisses.....and for the last two nights....we have been in a puppy pile in bed....she loves it!!

Welcome to Ohio and to DK Wheezer Wheezy. I was wondering up here how you all were. What a week. Drop me a line and tell me where she came from. It is good to know....... in our area what is going right/wrong. Thank goodness she found YOU three. Now everything will be alright. Can't wait to see more pictures of her. She kind of looks like Ann Giegie Kendig doodle Sheba. Ann lives in Lima.

WOW! What a fiasco you all have been through! I applaud you for not turning the car around and bringing poor Wheezy back to the breeder! You truly SAVED her! We just had a discussion going last week about buying a puppy over the internet, and the dangers associated with that - you may want to check that out! Wheezy's very lucky to have you!!!

Hope everything is great for you, Wheezy, Ellie and the rest of your family from now on.

Isn't it wonderful that puppies and children have baby teeth. They get a second chance in that department. Whew!

Hi Lucy and Shohies Mom.....yep.....we said that the first day and the vet did too.

I have no idea what she could have been chewing on Nancy,,,,but it was really bad!! One of her fang teeth was rotten at the gum...it feel out the first day.
