I came out to the car an hour later to >>|hear what sounded like a kitten in the back of the car....YEP, first puppy! >>|nice and clean and dry. So, I grabbed the cell phone and called the vet - >>|what now, I'm 30 minutes to the vet; 50 minutes to home. Helen, who doesn't >>|do no birthings, is somewhere in between. Vet, who we've known for 25 years >>|or so, is laughing and figures the best bet is to just stop at Helen's and >>|let her help with the whelpin'.... >>| >>|Instead, I snuggled the puppy under my wool jacket, got behind the wheel of >>|the van, and headed for home the backway so I could stop if I needed to. >>|While I'm driving and trying to line up Dad to take care of the other dogs; >>|Kathy Gray who wanted to observe QT's birthing (in anticipation of her Rose, >>|QT's sister, doing this next summer), and Helen who's somewhere on the way >>|home from work, I look in the rearview mirror and see QT beginning to pant >>|and fuss again....then hear the squeak of another puppy.... >>| >>|Once home, I quickly changed clothes while puppy number 1 scoots around on >>|my bed lookin' for a warm spot...and went back to the car to get QT and her >>|other puppy and settle all in the real birthing room. I found not one, but >>|two puppies in the crate with her for 3 total while we were out and about. >>|(Sadly, one, a very small girl, didn't make it - not sure if she never >>|started or just got chilled, QT had her stashed in a corner). >>| >>|Once downstairs QT settled right down to business and popped out another 2 >>|puppies before Kathy got here, then a short break for dinner and QT popped >>|out another one. Then we had a LONG break of a couple hours and the last 2 >>|popped out. >>| >>|In all, QT has 7 beautiful babies - 5 boys, 2 girls; They've been throughly >>|washed, weighed, and snuggled by Kathy & I.
