We Counted FIVE ....

... and Martini is on the Mend. We drove out to Lady Lake as a family and spent the day just outside the final bands of TS Fay.

We started by having Martini taken back and prepped for her surgery. She did so AWESOME! We all have our fingers crossed that spaying her will get her hormones back into check. I am convinced she is hormonally imbalanced. She was still weaning her last litter of pups when the other girls in the house went into heat. Teener has been on a hormonal high ever since. Luckily we have an hour and a half drive home - she came out of surgery very loopy - just looking up at me saying "MOMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY" with her eyes. My sweet baby girl. She has been resting on the couch all afternoon. For the first time in over a month I am happy she is alone and away from the pack.

They warmed up the X-ray machine and got ready to snap shots - We took a look at Mo's chest. His infection has cleared up but there is a distinct whistle in there. Monday will be the day! We have him on some antibiotics to get him through the weekend.

Next came Ginny - the much anticipated baby shot! The bets were placed. My palipations have always be dead on - so I stuck with three - even though my guts said there were more. The remaining bets ranged from 3 to 6. When they called me in to take a peek - the number given was 4. But I saw another spine in there. Doc took a second look and he confirmed it! Ginny has 5 pups!!!!


Bitter sweet day - Martini - who is such a fantastic mommy - will live the rest of her life in a happy yet babyless state while Ginny proved she will be our newest mommy - and of course Mo - we all pray for a fantastic outcome on Monday.
