Came across a link to the above video at the end of one of my flagging dance video. It was the subject title of this video catching my attention. Although a veterinarian, not going to get into all the comments this youtube video provoked.
Too little information.

Pictures of Taffy who died after a C-section while still at the veterinary hopital near-by Hope, Arkansas (Prescott, Arkansas did not have a veterinarian).
And Missy, the only one of the two puppies delivered by C-section that survived the pregancy.
Definitely the runt of these two, the black male pup died at home that same evening. Refusing to nurse from a bottle, remember my dad, a medical doctor, calling around to people he knew, patients of his instead of the veterinarian performing the surgery; asking for advice.
Wonder who told him to try force feeding an eye dropper full of coffee to this newly born puppy. Don't believe the caffeine, although toxic to canine, killed this puppy; just the choking, aspiration of coffee.
Do not know if there were other puppies besides these two.
Missy died in a car accident the same day my parents were driving from Daisy State Park back to Prescott, Arkansas; picking me up from a camping trip (roughing?it?up)spending with another family that summer. Still having such a great time, we all managed talking my parents into letting me stay and finish out the second half of this family's two week camping trip on same lake my family eventually owning a second home.
My mother liked to joke that the McSweeny family was the closet I've ever come to being poor.
As much time as I spent with them, they practically were my other family while growing up this small Arkansan mill town of Prescott, Arkansas.
Poor didn't seem so bad;
at the time
