So we took Magic in again on Friday, day 12, and they did the progesterone test again.  This time she showed a level of 5.81.  The vet said it is time to breed.  She said breed 3 times between Friday and Tuesday.

We wanted to do a natural breeding so chose to attempt on Saturday morning. For some reason they could not achieve a tie.  We called the vet who said bring them in and they would do artificial insemination. We took them in and the doc, who was not supposed to be working, examined her and said she has a persistent hymen. She said she was able to stretch it a bit so they may be able to breed naturally tomorrow,  She then collected from Slugger.  She put Magic's hind end over my left leg siting on the bench and her feet on the floor so her hind end was higher than her front,  Then she inseminated.  Magic stayed in that position for 20 minutes then we were done.  In the mean time, they did a brucellosis test on Slugger.  Now at home, Magic is relaxing while Slugger is barking his head off.  He has not had enough.  We will take them back in for AI again Monday morning if it doesn't all work tomorrow morning. So far it has been an expensive and a bit nerve wracking journey.
