OMG I just got this picture of Zadie! She is Daisy and Butkus's girl. I'm so thrilled to see her!
This is what they said about her.
She is doing great. This is a picture of her today with her partner in crime, Zephyr. I haven't weighed either of them, but they are huge. Of coarse he out weighs her, but not as much as I would have thought when we got them both. What she gives to him in size, she makes up for in spirit. She rules the roost around here. We love her to death. Both the boys love playing with them.

PLEASE Keep your PUPPIES SAFE!
How to Prevent Parvovirus
Parvovirus can be a threat for puppies at any age. It can be especially dangerous for pets that are out and about with other dogs, as it is transferred by contact with canine stools. Luckily, it almost never occurs after your dog is 14-months-old.Even with preventative actions such as vaccinating, Parvovirus can attack. Parvo is a viral canine disease, and the virus grows in rapidly dividing cells such as the intestinal lining. It attacks and kills these cells and can lead to death. Parvo also causes a suppression of white blood cells and can infect the heart muscle. The key is to know what signs to look for and to get treatment immediately if Parvo is suspected.
Symptoms to Look For
Diarrhea, bloody
Lethargy
Vomiting
Depression
Pain when defecating
Loss of appetite
Fever
Treatment
1. Testing - There are tests for Parvo in the stool but results can be a false positive for those puppies recently vaccinated.2. Going By Symptoms - If the results of the test are positive and there are symptoms present, your vet will likely treat it as Parvovirus even if your puppy was recently vaccinated.
3. Fluids - Intravenous fluid is the main treatment for Parvo. Serum and colloidal fluids are used, along with traditional fluids. The colloidal fluids appear to be mainly to credit for recovery.
4. Antibiotics - These prevent secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin are usually used.
5. Immunity - Strengthening your puppy's immune system.

Protecting Dogs from Deadly Parvo
http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2011/09/01/protecting-dogs-from-deadly-parvo.aspx
Virtually any surface a dog touches can harbor the virus, including his crate, food and water bowls, his collar and leash, dog toys, etc. Other animals, people and even clothing can be contaminated.
Parvo is a very resilient virus that lives in the environment for long stretches. It survives temperature and humidity extremes. Just a minute amount of poop contaminated with parvo can infect an area and other dogs that pass through the area.
