I need some tips on wording a baby shower invitation?

Post from: All About Babies

have a 3 month old corn snake that won’t eat?

“Join us to celebrate the newest arrival
and help them prepare for Logan’s survival.”

Prepare for his survival?? Is it just me?? That sounds SO odd to me; who would say “we are preparing for our baby’s survival.”?

I just had to ask others opinions because another friend of ours said it didnt sound too weird…

Doesn’t the wording on this baby shower invitation sound odd??

I had initially left her alone with the pups in her whelping box, and she was fine. I checked on her regularly and came up to feed/water her every 2-3 hours day and night if for some reason I wasn’t with her anyway, she’s an extremely social pup and on day 2 started hopping downstairs – this was fine! She’d go out – wee – say a quick hello to everyone and run back up to the babies. If she wanted company she popped down and nodded at me to come back up with her – very cute and all perfect mothering in my head!
Day 3 however the visits began getting more and more long winded, so much so I decided to make her a day box downstairs where we could bring the puppies. She was delighted with this arrangement. She behaved downstairs as she would upstairs. Out to wee then straight back to the box, just happy she had people to rub her and say hello. That night she ran out of milk when the pups were feeding. Only 5 of her teats were working (2 were swollen and the pups wouldn’t drink the milk and one was simply dormant) 1 of the little guys caught a chill and went limp, we had to rub and rub him – quite tragic when there was no milk for him when he got warm again.
Yesterday is when serious worry set in for me and when I knew I needed advice of someone experienced.
First call of action was to get bitches milk. Our vet had said the main surgery had it. My sister did the trip so I wasn’t there 1st hand, but she returned saying they had no bitches milk, and the vet said it was fine to give them kitten milk instead. She made double sure the vet knew they were newborn’s and he again said it was fine. I’m EXTREMELY worried about this info simply because there was kitten milk in the vets the day I took her, and that vet said nothing of the sort and told me to go to their main practice to get the bitches milk. I tried the biggest pup with it and he had absolutely no interest. I gave Bo some and she loved it. Has anyone heard of pups being given kitten milk before? Is it actually safe? They’re dietary requirements are completely different! There’s no way I’d allow my dog to eat left over cat food never mind think of willingly giving it to them.
The next point of yesterday is where you’re all free to tell me what a terrible owner I am.
Obviously with all the excitement a lot of people have been in and out congratulating Bo (in case you haven’t gathered I’m not nor claim to be a breeder – Bo is my house pet along with her litter mate and best pal Smokey, and the Daddy Anouk, they’re my children! Anouk isn’t fixed as he is my sisters dog and she hadn’t gotten round to it – we adopted him when he ate 1 to many chickens on a farm near my sisters house. Smokey was done within a week of Bo’s first heat. He got at her and she needed the injections, hence my allowing her this litter at such a young age, I couldn’t put her through that again) And *dun dun daaaa* she (and I…) let everyone who came in give the pups a rub and get right on top of her box. My biggest concern is that someone she didn’t know before (friends mother) came in and while she was very aware of not touching them (she’d had mothering cats growing up) when one practically jumped into her hand she couldn’t resist anymore. I’m
Pomchi – Your response sucks and was of absolutely no relevance at all. Anyone tempted to state similar – don’t waste your time.
Single Worker and Roseali thanks a mill
The most productive responses! Cheers (^_^)

Zaprudrr – thanks for the encouragement! (^_^)
At last some useful responses! Thank you so much people – it’s tough going trying to find breeders who are willing to part their knowledge! I often wonder how anyone became an experienced breeder when no-one seems willing to help! How learned them?!
Anyway – top answer was a tough choice. Thanks again all!
