Happy Birthday


They are adorable.  Two little boys.  They are both around 4 ounces.

Where do I begin.  Water broke around 11.11pm. I was so excited.  Three hours later Snickie looked as if she had two sacks coming out.  And nothing much had happened.

I suspected she may be too small to pass them.  So I took her into the ER.  This ended up in a c-section and her being spayed.

These are my pets first, then my breeders.  Snickie's health and her welfare goes before my breeding her.  Also, she  belongs to my daughter.  So she is now fixed.

She is on meds and the sutures come out in 10 days.  Her nipples are inverted so it looks like I still may not get any sleep.  Most likely I will have to supplement.

I hope I am not rambling and make a little sense.  I am so tired from staying up the whole night and the worrying..... 

I just have to concerntrate my efforts on getting Snickie better, and keeping those pups healthy.

Petsmart

I have decided to go to Petsmart today. I want to stock up on a few things. Chica is really enjoying the meal versions of Beneful. They come in small containers and have meat & veggies in them. She also likes this meal in a sausage. - Pet botanics chicken and rice meal.

I will also get some formula just in case. I am figuring that if there is more then one they will be tiny!! I want to be prepared to do some supplemental feedings.

I guess it is also time to get the welping box ready. Ana, a good friend of mine and mentor, gave me some hints on having a nursing kit. I have a shoe box with all sorts of gizmos and gadgets that I may need on the day of welping. So it is time to get it out and to be ready.

CAN YOU TELL I AM OUT OF MY MIND WITH EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
