She decided she wanted her vet to do it instead of a stranger. Penny was up all night on the 3rd, sitting next to me. I woke up again when she started nesting in her birthing box and then went outside for about 15 minutes, digging a den under the deck. I called the vet at 6am and gave him the symptoms, he said bring her in at 8. I called my neighbor who is as excited about the birth as I am. She said she would come over and sit with me while we waited for the clinic to open. She is becoming a very welcomed friend. I can't believe we have lived across the street from each other for 25 years and this is the first time we've taken the time to get to know each other. I always took great care in keeping neighbors at a distance so they wouldn't find out what was going on here.
I'm just so thankful all that is behind me now, although if it was ever legalized I'd jump at the chance to be able to work at home. I have a hard time leaving my bullies all day while I'm working.
Penny wasn't due until Sunday and I was feeling guilty about all involved having to miss church.
My neighbor makes herself available to babysit while I run errands. She has made my life so much easier than having to do it alone. Since the weather is still very spring-like, the grass just keeps growing and if I don't keep up with it now, I'll be very behind in a few weeks.
I'm also hoping I can talk her into dancing with me every day, as an experiment. She would be the perfect example of how dancing can improve your life. I can't wait to dance with the babies. Let's All Dance!
