The Puppies Are Here!!
 

Gidget and Joey are proud to announce the birth of 2 sons and 1 daughter on March 22, 2009.

It was a very long afternoon and evening. Gidget started to lightly nest around 4 pm on Sunday. The nesting became more vigorous around 5:30 pm, but no contractions. Contractions started about 6 pm, but very light and not close together. At 7:15 pm contractions were much closer, she started pushing hard. When the puppy, still in the sack stayed half out/half in and not wanting to come with my help, I called the Purdue ER and told them we were on our way.

On the way over to the ER, the first little boy was born at 8:05 pm and weighed 5.5 ounces. I called the ER and told them we were not coming and turned around and went back home.

At 8:37 pm the little girl was born and weighed 4.6 ounces. Gidget was very tired of course, gave her some whelping pudding and she gobbled it right down and then took a small nap as the two puppies nursed.

At 9:59 pm the last puppy, a boy was born weighing in at 4.4 ounces. All three are nursing great, Gidget is doing great and you can tell she is happy to have her babies. All are doing great this morning and Gidget ate a small breakfast of pudding and scrambled eggs.

Thank you all for your well wishes....they worked.

PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!

When I first got up this morning, I went straight to the computer to see about puppies, but my internet wouldn't connect :mad:

So, I couldn't check till I got to work, and then had a zillion emails to go through when I got here (after being gone for a week).

I just now got a chance to look and I see the PUPPIES ARE HERE!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!!!
