Hi, Connie,
I am so very, very sorry to hear about the puppy. Thank you for letting us know.
My wife and I had a poodle-terrior mix housedog, who passed away at home this past Jan. She had a very low red blood cell count, enlarged spleen and possible cancer. She would have been 12 yrs old in June.
I know you will miss the puppy and I am glad you have the other puppy. We cannot bring ourselves yet, to check out the local Animal Shelter, looking for another puppy.
Since you mentioned your puppy is a Pit Bull, I would like to offer the following information:
As a new puppy owner, I highly recommend a video by Ceaser Millan, a Professional Dog Behaviorist. He rehabilitates dogs, and trains people.
He has his own TV program, the Dog Whisperer, on the NGEO (National Geographic) channel, on Friday nights mainly, but also comes on some other days. This video is available from:

I also ordered his new book, "Ceaser's Way", from Walmart online, around $15 US, and it's very good!
There are other good videos available on the web, but this one is really worth your attention.
I do wish you the best, and please visit us here at this site often. I would like to know on-and-off how your puppy is doing. Please?
Best wishes.
