Lilys babys......

It's 2am and Lily can't sleep she has been stirring for about an hour now. So we get up. We set down in the lazy boy and I rock her...nope she don't want to rock. She don't want to set, she just doesn't know what she wants to do. Then come the shakes and panting and racing heart. I know that this isn't right. So we call our favorite vet at 2:35am. We leave him a message and he calls right back. Sounds like she needs some sugar. So we follow Doc's orders. It's now 4am neither Thomas or I have had any sleep. Not even Bristol. Bristol tries to console Miss Lily and he just gets growled at....sound familiar guys?????. I'm trying to rest with my eyes wide open and trying to tell Lily just focus that's what they told me! She gives me the --focus hell look...so by now I am thinking what is on the calendar at both stores. I decided to get dressed and head for C-ville and do what needs too be done.
Lily and I head over and sure enough she is ready. We had to wait a bit cause there was a dog that was in an accident and they had to tend to her.
While we were setting there Lily was quietly setting in my lap bearing down and she wasn't waiting, her time was now. I unfolded her blanket and sure enough there was a puppy popping out his head. I tell the vet tech she's ready let go. They rushed her back. They reassured me she will be fine and they will be back with updates. It is now 8:15am. I call Thomas with an update along with Sarah, Sandra and Coleigh. The wait begins......
I over hear the Vet tell the receptionist to make sure Mrs. Bridges is comfortable and if there is anything she needs. Twenty minutes later the girls come out....we have our first puppy and she is fine. I ask, How is Miss Lily, she is fine too. Ten minutes later....you have four healthy big puppies. Now I can breath. They bring me the first puppy....and let me hold it. I have two boys and two girls. Lily is doing fine we will just stitch her up and monitor her for a bit. Every one is healthy and now we can relax. I get updates every twenty minutes and by now I have seen all four of them. We just might have a Double Dapple just like Bristol but it's still to early to tell but he has more black in him . Bristol's color variation is very rare.
So all this afternoon I was working with Lily getting her use to her babies and helping her get back to normal after the surgery. Now the fun begins.......
