So about two months ago Misti found a way to escape from our backyard. We had never fixed her because we thought having little beagle puppies would be fun. When we got home from Florida a few weeks ago it was obvious Misti was prego with who knows. We took her to the vet and he said she would have about 8 puppies. He also said it looked like she would be able to have the pups without problem....Well let me jsut say yesterday was the most stressful day I have had in a long time. Misti had the first pup at 5 am, a stillborn. Then gave birth to a live cute little pup. She then had another pup after about 2 hours. This pup was huge and spent too much time in the birth canal. Just as we were about to load her in the car to take her to the vet she had another one. This one also alive and very cute. We, Grandma Lorna and I, then thought maybe the big one was just blocking things and now everything would go smooth. I made grandma stay at our home all day. She was so great for doing that. I found I am quit wimpy when it comes to things like this. Misti had another puppy about 2 hours later. It came out and struggled to get going. Grandma intervened and we got it breathing. Yay three cute pups. Misti then went into a very long rest period. We thought she was finished but then she gave birth to yet another still born pup. She must be finished but almost 24 hours later she had another dead pup this morning when we woke up. I guess we should just be grateful for the three that made it. We are getting her fixed asap as we should of done in the first place. Stupid Sandi.

The puppies are really cute though. Any idea what kind of dog it was now that she has had the pups? They must have been bigger than the vet thought seeing as she only had 5 and it was so hard on her. I guess first deliveries are hard on dogs just like women.
they are super cute...but we have no idea who the daddy is.. we are going to the vet on monday so maybe he can tell us.
