Puppies....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Memorial Day... This weekend has been a blur. My friend called me at 6 am Saturday and said to "Come over I think Lilo is in labor". Her 4 year old AMERICAN BULLDOG. I go over and she is in early labor. Panting. Scratching newspapers. She is huge. Ok to make a long story short....She wasn't progressing, and all of a sudden a burst of green, Kelly green am ionic fluid squirts out...We call the emergency vet. A 45 minute drive. We end up driving up there at 2:50 pm on Saturday afternoon. They check her out, weigh her, yes in active labor.....She has one puppy. Then we leave to get a bite to eat and come back and we are allowed to go sit with her. She pops out a puppy in its sac... It's green. I'm serious, the puppy is green, and brindle. He is so cute we call him Greenie., Lucky Charm, Clover, Little Hulk. Today he is still green. Its from the sac and fluid. So funny. Anyway after three shots of Oxytosin, a bag of fluids intervenes, and lots of rest, she ends up having nine healthy puppies. The last one did NOT want to come out. We waited and prayed and hoped, and finally she shot out and I took the sac off and let her momma clean her up. she was weak, but we rubbed her and got the stuff out of her throat and shes fine. Shalena and I were so happy we thanked Jesus over and over cuz Lilo didn't need a $1,500 C-section. And that would have been after delivering 8 puppies naturally. . Yea God. My lesson I learned, Know what you are doing in breeding dogs, and delivering. Have money available in case of an emergency. Pray a lot. It was fun and a fun adventure I shared with Shalena. The puppies are 3 girls, and 6 boys. She is a great momma, when she doesn't lay on them. Birth is always awesome.....I'm going to take a nap!!! ps. Don't forget to remember your loved ones..xo
