9:52 - Zoe decides to nest in our blanket. Then her water breaks.
10:05 - The first puppy arrives. It's a girl!
Zane waits patiently in the hall. Mostly.
Zoe moves to the whelping box.
11:00 - The second baby girl arrives breach. That was a tough one.
11:40 - The third baby girl arrives.
11:45 - The first boy arrives immediately after the girl.
1:12 - The last little girl arrives. She took so long because she came without a sac and placenta. Zoe had to deliver a dry dog. Ouch!
She has retained a sac and placenta in her uterus so we will have to get the vet to give her a shot so they will come out. And now it's time for all of us to take a nap. It's been a long week!
**Side note: Later that evening I found an open vet and got her a shot of oxytocin, brought it home, and gave it to Zoe. That placenta came out in 20 minutes! Now everyone is officially healthy.
