Now that IS a wonderful idea!!!! Your friend sounds like a wonderful person, it's very comforting to have someone like that in your life. Hope, and pray Montana finds a baby or babies very soon to help her through this. Please do keep us posted.

Tink, can't you let Montana nurse some of Canada's puppies?

I questioned this myself and decided against it for 2 reasons.
The 2 females have been best buddies for years and have always been together. As such, they're part of the same "pack". By giving any of Canadas pups to Montana I'd be upsetting the balance between the 2 females forever. They could very easily learn to hate each other and not be able to peacefully co-exist again. Canada will not give hers up willingly and in taking them from her, I'm also taking her rank as the "top female" or breeder of the "pack". IF for any reason Montana wouldn't be successfull in nursing the pups after several days, there's a good chance Canada would them refuse to take them back and I could end up with 2 dogs that hate each other, pups at risk, and a long term hierarchy problem that wouldn't mend. Right now Canada is doing an excellent job and the pups are growing and doing great. I really don't want to mess with that. Pack mentality is not something to be taken lightly.

Wow Tink! I never would've thought of all that. You are definitely a good Mommy to those girls! I hope you are able to find some pups for Montana soon. I get so sad when I think about her situation...
