Some Great News!

We just heard that our niece Jessica gave birth to twin girls this morning at 10:06am and 10:26am. One was 18" at 5 lbs. 8 oz. and the other 19" at 5 lbs. 14 oz. Mom and babies are doing great.

Jessica was heard to say, "I can see my belly button again!"

As for Mindy... after a brisk walk (in the rain) she still has not eaten. Let's keep our fingers crossed that she can make it at least another 3 days. Check back in for updates. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes.

Happy Birthdays and A Concern

Birthday wishes go out to our daughter-in-law Lindsay, our niece LeighAnn, and Aunt Betty. Happy Birthday to all of you!

Also our niece Jessica is in labor this morning with twins. Looks like we may have two more birthdays to celebrate before this day is over.

Visitors to the site today will notice that Mindy is not eating. This concerns us as a doggie-mom-to-be stops eating before she delivers. Today is Day 56 of her pregnancy, and she should go at least 59 to 65 days before delivery.

Hope for the best. We'll keep you posted.

A scuffle

Day 56 - Mindy and Schuyler got into a short-lived fight this morning. They were both investigating a Christmas decoration in the kitchen and suddenly Mindy started growl-barking and attacked Schuyler. I grabbed Schuyler and took him downstairs to calm him down while my wife stayed upstairs with Mindy. He was physically OK, but was quaking after the attack. After about 5 minutes I took him back upstairs and Mindy came up to him to check him over. It was like she was saying "I'm so sorry! Are you OK?" All was peaceful after that. Hormones, I guess.

Our granddaughter spent the night with us and the five of us had a great time before we put the dogs in their pens. Mindy seemed restless and paced some but she eventually settled down. I was able to take a few pictures of the grandaughter and the dogs. I'll put these up later today.
