Well Sunday morning Bentley started to go into labor. It can take dogs 48 hrs start to finish I slept in the bathroom with her Sunday night and sat in there with her most of the day on Monday at about 3 pm a water sack presented and broke and we were so excited!!! So then about a half hour later still no puppy. The vet tech called to see how Bentley was doing and I told her what had been happening and she asked if I could bring her in. So we rushed her to the vet and they decided to let her push for another 30-45 min. About 20-30 min later they called and said that she had a little girl puppy but she was still born and they were working on her to see if they could revive it and asked if they could do a C-Section. I said that was fine and to do whatever it takes to make sure Bentley and the rest of the puppies were ok. Brian, Alyssa (my friend who wanted to watch the puppies be born), and I went down to the clinic and waited. Less than 20 min later the tech came out and was holding two cute little boys! Brian asked about the others and she said this was it other than the little girl that was still born. We were suprised because we had got an x-ray to see how many puppies there were and they said 5 0r 6.....they were a little off. I am pretty sure we have decided to keep them both. We named the red one Archie and the Black one Reggie. They are really funny. Archie is almost never off the nipple. He just sleeps and eats. Reggie doesn't eat as well and he wanders. It is funny all of the sudden I will hear him squeeling and I'll have to put him back with his mom. He is also about an ounce smaller than Archie.
Bentley is doing great! It took her a little while to warm up to them but by the next morning she was doing great. She is getting very protective of them and will hardly let me touch them so we are trying to nip that in the bud. More posts to come!
