Rtic's Pictures Page

On both sides of this pedigree are two old broads -- Wayeh Needa Mist & Polar-Pak's Foxy Lady.  We had hoped for a girl from Sera's dam Singer & Yogi but they gave us all boys, so we tried again and thankfully along came Rtic Bear & Ginger. 

Rtic Bear is the one who sat back and watched the others climb all over visitors and I thought at first she was shy.... not Rtic, she's contemplative and she considers and then she lets you come to her.... because she knows you will.

Rtic is Ms Independent, as an infant when the others crowded around, she'd sit on the outskirts and wait, KNOWING that you couldn't resist her, KNOWING you'd get up from the pile of puppies to pick her up and tell her how beautiful she is -- which she is, and you do.  She adores all people and will walk away from food to suck up to strangers.

She lives with mom Sera and is content NOT to be the leader -- she wants to play all day long, no matter how rough the older puppies are with her.  She walks on a leash, sits for attention, and sleeps through the night in her crate.  And is happiest on the couch watching anything at all, so long as you are next to her.  She is tender and affectionate with humans, especially those who know how to treat very smart puppies.

Rtic Bear is devoted to her mother & grandma Singer -- the last only because grandma Singer says that's the way it is and no one argues with grandma Singer, least of all her little granddaughter Rtic.  Named for her mother, Sings to the Rtic Moon, Rtic is nonetheless a feminine version of her daddy Yogi Bear.

2/20/09 - This morning she went out, peed, came bounding back happily, but wouldn't eat, but she drank. This afternoon I realized she had drunk the entire 6-qt bucket of water, and then threw it up in her crate. When she stood, she looked "stove up" -- belly sucked in, back hunched, head down, stumbling when she walked. I carried her to the truck, and off we went at a run, Rtic traveling in my lap.

Rtic's white blood cell count is normal, temp is normal, but they could feel something like a mass in her abdomen. X-rays were inconclusive, Barium test was inconclusive, so they opened her up. She had a string in her intestines, a simple nylon string, don't know if it's off a frayed bath towel, or the string off a bag off dogfood, or what, or why you'd want to eat it, but it sliced through a loop of bowel, and the intestine has telescoped back on itself, there are dead sections of bowel, there is leakage into the gut, and then her heart stopped. All three vets tried to get her heart going again, keep her breathing, and try to patch the bowel as back best they could. None of it was enough.

RIP little one, see you on the other side.
