Iris came in with a respitory infection. She was still nursing and mom was healthy. She was put on meds but the infection refused to clear. She was given special formula with extra vitamins, medicine and fluids. Iris still floundered.

This morning Iris woke up having dificulty breathing. She was rushed to the vet, but it was too late. Poor baby Iris who never had a chance in life- may she rest in peace and run and grow at the rainbow bridge. We love you.

Iris was born on March 11th, 2009. Iris was one of 6 puppies in her litter. The puppies were born to her mom, Fleur, in a shelter where the pups lived for 3 weeks before coming to Boxers and Buddies. Now safe and in a foster home, the pups have been handled every day. They will soon be exposed to other dogs, cats and new environments.

The cool thing about puppies is they are yours to mold – you can socialize them and make them everything you imagine. The bad thing about puppies is that if you don’t take the time to raise them right, you have no one to blame but yourself.

I'm interested in Iris
