Where do I start- first things first- our little chihuahua was carrying her first litter, and yesterday she was delivering them while I was at work. Mark called me almost histerical, saying that Sissi- our female Blue-Heeler, attacked Crystal as Mark & Paige were going into the pen to check on them!!! She has always been very territorial, and for some odd reason, Crystal went into Sissi's hose to have the pups- so Paige is tring to pry Crystal out of Sissi's mouth as she was shaking her like a toy. Four pups were already born, and Mark told me Crystal was dead and there was still a pup in her belly wiggling around and he didn't know WHAT TO DO!!! I'm sitting at my desk, with a patient, speechless, and just told him to do what he thought he should. I was devestated. My heart sank. We had been so excited, running out to see if she had had them yet, everyday when we would get home... So after I finished with my patient, I called him back and he was rushing to the vet- after we hung up he started CPR on Crystal and she came BACK!!! After about 10 MINUTES!!! Mark was so upset- I wasn't there to help- Paige was crying, and there was still a baby trying to get out... The vet put her on oxygen and gave her some steroid injections and oxytocin to start her contractions back- the vet called back later in the night, and she had to do a c-section and she got 2 more puppies out!!! They seemed fine. Crystal is still in shock, but she is trying her best to nurse them, and lick them- I brought her home this morning- she has major spinal cord damage and is almost completely paralyzed right now- we are hoping and praying the swelling will go down and she'll be okay- but rigt now she can't really move her front legs and her back ones are stiff , rigid, and just sticking straight out- it is one of the most pitiful things I have seen in a long time- I just feel so sorry for her- a first-time mom who can't even fully care for her pups. Pray for her please. On to happier subjects...
I got to go play with my new nephew, Cameren last night- what a beautiful, perfect, fat baby!!! His mommy is taking such good care of him, and he is totally attached to her!!! I am so in love with him. His big sister, Kodie loves him too!!! Aunt Terry is crazy about him, just like she is about Kodie- she kept wanting to take him jammies off so we could all see his rolie-polie legs!!
Madison is the 1st girl EVER to sign up for the pole-vault event in Bowie, Tx. She went to the District meet last week and placed 1st!!!! 7 feet!!!! Only one other girl in the whole district qualified against Mad!!! She so rox!!!! She placed 2nd overall in the Bowie rodeo last weekend, and Victoria placed in 2 of her events!!! Will have to post pics soon. Paige entered a Google art contest & is in the top 6 at her school right now. If she makes it to the national level, she will get to go to California for the final pick!!! She is a very talented artist. She also found out she scored the highest in her class in the national math test they had to take a few months past- and she doesn't even like math!! whew- I need a glass of wine today- don't ya think?! I love ya'll
