Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - We have a new addition...

We welcome little Layla, a Golden Retriever. She is very tiny, the breeder told us she was 7 weeks, which I feel is the best time to take any retriever, when we got home I figured it out and she is just 6 weeks.. but healthy, well socialized, the entire litter was great.. and a big one LOL. Most people think we are crazy to get another one so soon... I know all of you here understand. As my youngest son said " Mom we had to restore balance... it has always been a Yellow Lab, a Husky and a Golden Retriever." I guess we would not have it any other way. I thank you for all the support you have given me through two battles now. I am praying for all of you and your furkids... hugs and belly rubs all around. blessings, Julie

Julie, Congrats on your new addition. We figure the balance is 4 because frosty paws come in packs of 4 Ha! Enjoy your new little girl. Penny

Thank you all for your kind words of welcome for Little Layla. Here is a link for my photo bucket album - there are only two pics right now (photo bucket is not cooperating) and it is really hard to get any pics other than sleeping, she moves too fast LOL. http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/comfnumbjuls/Layla/ blessings, Julie

Oh, the lusciousness! She is SO cute...and I can smell that sweet puppy breath halfway across the country. :-) Congratulations on adding Layla to the family, and here's hoping for a long and healthy life for her. Elizabeth

Oh Julie, she is just the cutest! There is nothing like a puppy to help ease the pain and you don't forget it does help you focus. I love what your son said about restoring the balance, that is just how I felt when I lost Holly, that our household was a 2 dog household and on of then had to be a springer! Layla is such a lovely name, does it have any significance? I named my pup Sapphire, my birthday stone and for when I lost Holly, but she is known as Saffy or by my 3 year old daughter as Cheeky Monkey! Enjoy your new addition and the biting, lol! Just over that, thank goodness!! Keri xx

Julie, this is such great news, and Layla is a beauty! I'm so jealous...I can't wait to get a new dog. I don't see it at all as "replacing" Raven -- she just taught me how much joy a dog brings. I know Layla will bring you many, many new joys. Sharon

Congratulations Julie. We added back in after only 3 weeks because our other puppy just couldn't handle the loneliness. Never too soon if you make the decision yourself :)

Julie, that's wonderful news! Layla is a little doll. Enjoy that little one. She will grow SO fast. Karen H.
