Babies And A Wedding

Yes. I have been away for awhile. Recital and bbq are over. Then there was resting. Then there was work to catch up on from all that dancing then resting. Then we went to Reno for my cousin's wedding.

Now I'm back. Oh, yeah, then there were new puppies.

Puppy Pile!!!

Funny story about the puppies...so Ginger (my mom and dad's dog) and McGuirk hooked up on Cinco de Mayo. My mom was so afraid that Gingy would have her puppies while we were in Reno that she had her x-rayed as soon as possible. No puppies! So we went on our merry way. We noticed that Ginger wasn't really acting like herself, but attributed it to a false pregnancy which is quite common. She was looking a little chubby, but that's not unusual for her, as she is the biggest Mi-Ki we have at the very top of the weight range for her breed. Well she just seemed miserably fat by the time we returned from Reno. So dad took her in to the vet to see if they could relieve the symptoms of a false pregnancy. The Dr. took a listen and heard a tiny heart beat. Turns out Ginger was carrying around 3 puppies all this time. I admit I felt a little guilty about giving her such a hard time about her weight. What a waste of $181 on the first x-ray, huh? The 3 puppies, 2 girls and 1 boy, were born on Friday July 10. Ginger ended up having a c-section and an ovariohysterectomy (she was spayed) at the doctor's beseeching. All are doing great! Puppies are up to 9 ounces a piece and mom is down a couple pounds. (which is a lot when you only weigh 8 pounds to start with) Ginger did have to go in for more staples because she hid under the bed and tore several out. Now she has to wear one of those silly lampshade things around for another week. I ended up staying over 3 nights on puppy patrol because I'm a crazy night-owl. FH is away for 12 days so someone has to look after our brood, my own puppy (more like poopy) patrol.
