Aww Marsha. Nature just works out that way. I look forward to another litter. I am glad that Dinah and the little one are fine. Congrats! -- em :-)

I want to thank everyone for their congrats and feel I at least owe an update. Dinah had a very difficult labor. I had to basically get her started pushing with the first one. And I had to help it out because it's head was big and it was taking way to long to get out. But, thankfully, it finally arrived and seems to be healthy and Dinah loves it. The second one was not so lucky. It took from 2:18 to 6:30 before she even begin to try to deliver it. Then it took an hour to actually get it out. It was breached and the sac had already burst, so I knew after all that time it would have suffocated. I was fixing to call the vet and tell them we were on our way because Dinah was getting in bad shape . However, I finally managed to get my finger over it's shoulder and get it out. It was deformed with an open fontanel .....it's inside was on the outside of it's head.....and one eye was popped open and out. Both pups were female and both weighed 2.8 oz. that was all, there were no more. I regret that I will not have one to sell to any of you who were hoping to get one. I was hoping to be able to use the money to put down on my own little male which I really need. Or pay some bills anyhow. I do not raise for money, but anyone would be lying if they said the money did not come in handy. Especially for someone like me who has money issues anyhow. So, bottom line, that is the story. I am in a bit of depressed, disappointed, sad mood right now and don't really much feel like discussing it, but I felt I owed everyone an update. I just thank God that Dinah is well because for a while there, she was in serious danger. Had I not finally managed to get that pup out, there is a good chance she would not have made it. So, that is my blessings in this otherwise disappointing story. Marsha
