Odin's Leysa De Le Rose!
(Born November 25, 2004-Saga & Odin's 4th Litter)
Leysa's name means "Gift of" or "Redeemed of God". When she was a very young pup, she developed an abscess in her front right elbow. We speculate that one of her littermates had either clawed or bitten her and it got infected. There was no blood showing, so we didn't notice it until it grew swollen. Once the swelling began, it went critical very fast. The area grew huge and she had a high fever. We rushed her to the doctor, and he lanced the abscess. When he did, the fluid within squirted across the room. He gave us some antibiotics and told me to keep squeezing the pus from the abscess until the antibiotics kicked in. So, for three days and nights, I drained the fluid (very nasty smelling stuff!) every hour on the hour, and had to give her water with a syringe. We were seriously concerned that we would lose this girl before the antibiotics could begin to work. Throughout, Leysa was the perfect patient. She seemed to instinctively know that I was trying to save her.
I didn't have any plans to keep a pup from that litter, and in fact, I had a solid offer for this pup of $1,200.00. As much as I needed that money, I had also fallen in love with this little girl. She was so brave, and tolerated my ministrations so well, and even though I had just caused her lots of pain by squeezing her sore leg, she would give me a kiss when I was done, to say "Thanks!" I couldn't bear to sell this young lady, so we kept her. I have never regretted that decision one moment. Leysa is such a sweetheart! She is very much like her Daddy, Odin in personality.
