Eventful!!

Well... We have had an event night and day!!!

Here is the short and sweet version... since I have been up for about 36 hours now!

Thursday night we noticed Ellie's temperature dropped... which is a sign of her getting close to having her puppies!!
Friday morning, we got up, took Ellie's temp again (still low), but she ate like a horse... So I felt ok with leaving her for a few hours for us to take our hike.
Once we were home from our hike... we noticed Ellie starting to act a bit 'weird'. 
OF COURSE, she was basically fine UNTIL we headed to bed!!! 
Stacy and I stayed up watching movies... keeping an eye on Ellie.  Things got pretty serious around midnight.  By 3pm there were some signs that Ellie wasnt going to be able to have her pups on her own... So we called the ER Vet... and headed to Watsontown to have her seen.  The Vet quickly assessed Ellie, did an Xray and said they were sure she wouldnt be able to have her pups on her own... soooo, after a quick chit chat, Stacy and I knew we had to "OK" a C-section.

I wont even get into the cost for that... but it made me ill.

Anyway... We were sent home with a VERY groggy Ellie and 2 healthy pups... both girls!!
Ellie wanted no part of her pups until later this afternoon... which had me pretty worried for awhile!!!  But, now she is doing a GREAT job being a mom... and Stacy and I are hoping to get some sleep tonite!

Once I can keep thoughts straight in my mind... I will blog again.  Until then, enjoy some pics from our eventful night!

After waiting in the waiting room for well over an hour (for a surgery that was to take less than 45 minutes)... even the resident cat was looking worried!!!

Hubby trying to occupy himself... as we continue to wait-

2 hours into our wait... he was sound asleep!!  --

We watched the sun come up... it was VERY pretty!!-

FINALLY heading home.  Poor Ellie was sooooo out of it, and wanted NO part of her puppies!

Ok... that is all for now... I have to make sure Ellie eats and drinks a bit AND make sure her pups have full bellies and potty... THEN, I am going to BED!!!!!!!!! 

GoodNight!
