Thanks for all the advice...
One time he got sick because my son got a can of wet food from I don't know where...it was one of those cheap ones and he gave it to him... he got sick so bad and we didn't notice it after 2 days when we saw that he couldn't even walk and we saw he was pooping with blood. He had a high fever and the Vet said he got an infection that maybe that food had to much fat in it. they gave him Antibiotics and some medication and a diet of Chicken soup with rice for a whole week.
Aww, dog storiesyears ago we had two yellow labs - went out to the porch one morning and the male had eaten 3/4 of a beer can... he was fine
One Thanksgiving the female came home from a "wander" with a fully cooked Turkey! Someone must have set it on their patio to cool. We had just moved into the neighborhood but we lived there for five more years and I never heard anyone telling a story about a missing turkey. (no I did not go door knocking)

I was shocked when the Vet did the Ultrasound and told us that they were 8 and maybe 9...I was so worried about her even in the last week she was still running and jumping with that huge belly.....but all of them came out healthy and gorgeous . She was very good...she had the first 4 pups in the first hour..the total labor lasted from 11:30 until 3:30...the last one took about 1 hour to come out. and he was the biggest one.
At home...we helped her...I was scared at first but when I saw she was doing great I calmed down . But I started getting worry again when the last one didnt want to come out. I called the vet because we thought he was dead..but when we were ready to take her to the clinic she started having the contractions and there he was. A couple of them we had to massage them to promote the breathing...it was a bit stresssful because she was popping them out one after the other. If she was by herself I believe she wouldnt be able to keep up and maybe one or two would have ended up dead....She was also laying on top of them trying to warm them up but that was her first litter so she didn't know and instead of warming them she was hurting them.....so good thing I took the day off. I new the night before she was going to have them the next day anytime..so I called in .
PS: I was ready ... I got a lot of info from the Vet and the Internet (dog websites) .
