It was necessary to take Harriet to the vet's under an 'emergency' type visit. She had to undergo a C-Section because she had two puppies stuck in her uterus. :+( I had a gut feeling that something just was not right and I am glad I followed my instincts. The puppies were not viable and began to infect Harriet. I am heartened that a spay was not necessary as sometimes it is the quality of the uterus that becomes questionable when this happens.
So, dear Harriet was carrying 11 not 9 puppies all along. I am told that I can bring Harriet home this afternoon. In the meantime, I am swamped with helping 9 little pups eliminate and doing my best to get them to take a bottle. They are strong little buggers!! They are all weighing roughly 8 to 9 ounces. The chocolate boy is the smallest and the strongest fighter! Some things never change!
Here is their first group pic! :+)
