August 6th, puppies are born at 3 in the morning!

Jetta went into labor early this morning. We headed to the vet in Orem but we didn't even make it to Lehi before I had two puppies in my back seat. By the time we got to Lehi I had a third. The first puppy was dead when it was born and it had a cleft pallet so it was for the better. The second and third puppy are healthy, fat, and happy. When we got to the vet Dr. Pew couldn't find a heart beat on the ultrasound and Jetta was still struggling to get the fourth puppy out. He gave her some oxytocin and within 20 minutes that puppy was born. It wasn't breathing so Dr. Pew tried to warm it up and get it's heart going, he looked in it's mouth and it also had cleft pallet so we let him go. Jetta had 4 baby boys, all cuter than cute, 2 survived. She is mothering them and feeding them and being a good little mom. I'm sad to lose two but I am happy to have two!

The vet said that Rudy and Jetta shouldn't be bred together a second time because they aren't working well together. So when Jetta has her second heat after her pregnancy we will breed her to a different dog of Shar's and see what we can get from that litter, then I think I will be done with the bulldog breeding, it's hard on me and I know it's hard on Jetta.

Jetta is doing alright so far

So we have 5 more days until Jetta's scheduled c-section is here. She is fat, tired, miserable, and can't eat too much. She had an x-ray last week and we saw the skeleton's of the babies. There were definitely 4 but the vet said she may have 1 hiding but definitely 4. I am excited and scared for my poor dog. I have come to the conclusion I can only breed her one more time and then get her spayed because I know this is rough on her and it's definitely rough on me.

I saw some bulldog puppies at the vet and they are so stinkin cute. I don't know how I am going to be able to get rid of them when they are ready to go. I want to keep them all!!!
