Chapter 7

Helen crouched down in front of Queen, who growled. “Now, now, Queen.” She tried to pet her dog but Queen nipped at her. Helen yanked her hand away.

“She’s in a lot of pain and like Tyler said, she’s really scared right now. It’s probably best if we don’t try and touch her. She’s practically still a puppy herself.”

Helen nodded. Her frown deepened. “I can’t stand to see her like this. I’m worried. Will this be more difficult for her because of her age?”

“There is no need for worry. At this stage everything looks normal. Eighteen to twenty four months is more ideal but at one she is mature enough to handle it.” She gave what she hoped was a reassuring smile to the other woman just as Tyler walked in with his arms full. He had all the towels and an old blanket.

Queen’s tail wagged when she caught sight of him. He moved next to the dog and made a bed using the blanket, which he covered with towels. She was happy that he didn’t use all of them.

“Poor baby.” Tyler put his hand out to stroke her.

“No, I…” Jackie shut her mouth as Queen pushed her head into his hand. She whined softly before licking his fingers.

“Sheesh,” Helen huffed. “He sure does have a way with dogs.” She spoke more to herself so Jackie didn’t respond. She watched as Tyler carefully picked up the retriever, placing her on the makeshift bed. Tyler positioned himself at her head.

“She is going to start pushing now.” His golden eyes locked with hers and she lost the ability to talk for a half a second.

“Okay….that’s good,” she finally blurted. “I need to grab a few supplies.”

She jumped to her feet. First the basics, Jackie fetched some gloves, a bulb syringe and K-Y jelly as well as a pair of scissors. Next she grabbed a pair of forceps, a heat lamp and pad because sometimes a puppy needed a bit of extra help. She put the stuff down in close proximity to Queen before hurrying back to fetch calcium and glucose gel syringes. There was canine milk replacer if need be, but for now she would concentrate on a smooth delivery of the first puppy.

“Hey, Jackie,” Tyler called. “You might want to come over here. There is something happening down there.”

“It’s a balloon thingy!” Helen yelled. “A liquid filled balloon.”

Jackie quickly moved back towards the action. She slowed down as she neared, not wanting to startle Queen who was bearing down.

Jackie stayed back. Tyler gently stroked the fur on Queen’s neck and he made a soft growling noise.

As soon as Queen stopped pushing, the balloon moved back into the birth canal and Helen gave a frustrated gasp. Queen panted for a few beats before pushing hard.

“That’s it.” Tyler made another growling noise. He continued to stroke Queen, who whimpered. The sac slid clear.

“Oh…Oh my!” Helen yelped.

The retriever put her head back and began to lick at the puppy who was moving inside the sac.
