| Peccata | 09-17-2006 04:01 PM | Libby Had 4 Bountiful Babies Today! 2 Attachment(s) Libby had her babies this AM! I was away for less than 24 hours to attend my daughter's wedding in Albuquerque. For weeks I have obsessed about the pupies coming while I was gone. My girlfriend was due to stay at my house with Libby until I came home today but ended up in the hospital with heart problems after I flew out of Dallas at 2 PM. So... her loving husband took both Libby and Teddy to their house. He slept with Libby who woke up at 6:30 AM in labor. The first sac presented but did not progress. To put it mildly, he freaked. Off to the Emergency vet they went. The vet had to help her with the 5.85 oz boy and then she did the rest herself. Three more: all girls. 4.9 oz, 5.48 and 5.15.
I got home around 1:45 PM today. My girlfriend Debbie had been released from the hospital around 11 AM and I arrived home to find her deathly pale but rotating pups and feeding Libby goat's milk to keep up her strength. OMG, what WOULD we do in this life without true friends!?
Libby is being the perfect mom. Licking all a lot. She turns them upside down to do a thorough job! They all are twitching while they sleep which I know is a good sign. Their tummies look plump and full and their coats look glossy. One of the girls stays latched on almost all the time.
And thank everyone at YorkieTalk! I have learned so much to prepare me for this AWESOME day |
