They told me Cookie's puppies weren't ready to be born for a couple of weeks. Supposedly, the xray showed that the bones weren't completely calcified.

Well, she was in the kitchen and I went to get her puppy food out to feed her and in the meantime, she disappeared. I looked everywhere. I was standing outside, looking around with a flashlight and couldn't see her, but when I was standing on the deck next to the back door, I could hear digging. I ran around and around the deck looking under the highest part with the flashlight and I couldn't see her. I finally determined that she wasn't under the highest part, she was under the part that was only about 6" off the ground. When I knelt down I could see her through a crack between the boards and I could hear a puppy. I thought if you called 911 they'd come and help you, but that's a load of crap.

The only way to get her out was to pry up boards and the boards wouldn't come up. They're nailed in too well. So we got the saw and cut to one side of her. Then took the hammer and tried prying from there, but the board kept breaking and it must of taken at least 20 minutes to get a hole big enough to get her out.

She had one little male puppy that seems to be fine, but the other one, a female, was dead and it didn't look very big, so I think it may have been born dead.

The xray showed three puppies, but I don't know if the dead one was one of them. So, I'm not sure whether to expect one or two more or whether they'll be alive.
