Shortly after I posted thread #18, Pumpkin started to have her puppies. It was a little tough at first, so I helped her out. She was so nervous but so gentle. The first pup was really hard for, he seemed stuck, so I helped get the baby out and open it's sac. The rest are okay, some came out feet first and she went to open th feet part of the sack for oxygen. So, I opened all the sacs for her. The last one was touch and go. He was not moving or anything, so I picked him up and rubbed him all over. He came around and is doing okay. She still has to deliver the placentas and afterbirth, but here are some pictures I took during all of this. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, I need a new camera! Also, please don't mind our mess! Sorry.

These two were born about 3 minutes apart. They are twins!
