what is going on???

Alright, so it has been one of the longest days ever... and the night cap has sent me into oblivion. When Abbie picked me up from church tonight she said... You're going to be a father. No, she's not pregnant, but we think Bailey is. SO, it all started during March Madness. Bailey had been in heat and we had worked hard at keeping Hunter away... but in a moment of not paying attention he made his move and locked up. We didn't know how to separate them, called the vet, and they said to just let it take its course. So we did. Never really thinking much after that, as we thought he's only 9 months old... I guess he had it in him, even as a pup! Bailey has been acting funny for about month, but we thought it was just because she missed Hunter since we sent him to stay with Steve and Janice after he invaded. When I came back from seminary, I thought Bailey looked a little heavy, but thought is was just because she had begun eating normal again while I was gone. But tonight, Abbie noticed Bailey is definitely larger than normal, and her nipples (can I say that?) are enlarged... babies are on the way! We googled pregnant dogs online and learned that the gestation period is 60-63 days. As best as we can remember it was March 21 that the violation went down... which means mid-to late next week may be the time! Tomorrow I'm going to the vet, to make sure all is okay and that she is indeed pregnant. I cannot believe this is happening. I read about the process of birthing online... we need to find someone who knows what they are doing... it is way over my head. I guess tomorrow we'll know for sure.
