Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I spent all day with her yesterday and didn't want her to move around much so I stayed in the living room with her (away from the computer).

Dixie was soooo happy to see me when I picked her up that she buried her head in my shoulder and talked to me for almost 5 minutes before she would back away. She is a talker with her moans of joy. We finished at the vets and my heart broke on the way home as she whined in low groans of pain all the way home.

She immediately went to check on Dusty when we got home but I had to restrain him since he was being a little too rough. Then I seperated them. I made a really comfy spot for her and I laid with her for a couple of hours just petting her. When my son came home, he laid with her and then finally fell asleep. She really didn't move much at all for the entire night.

At bed time she resumed her spot on the bed with obvious joy in her eyes. She slept soundly all night! This morning she was a little perkier but it will take time for her to get back to her active self.

I have finally resolved myself to the fact that she will not be having any more puppies and I am comfortable with the decision now.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers during the entire situation. It has made a big difference knowing that I have cyber friends who share my passion of pets and who did not think I was totally crazy for getting so upset over this! You guys are great!!!!
