Finally after Lucky puffing and panting all night and most of the next day, her waters finally broke and she started 'proper' labour. We have had so many false alarms that we couldn't be sure this was it. Pete was upstairs changing and I was seeing to Lucky, then all of a sudden the panting turned to a push and I shouted to Laura to get Pete quick. Our first puppy was born at 10.30pm 12th March. We helped her break the sack and removed mucus from its nose etc, Lucky was quite good she helped, but I was too frightened to not help, in case we lost it. I thought it was not alive when it was first born, no movement for a minute or two and then it sparked into action with Lucky still licking her. Wow what an experience, never had puppies, and it is quite different from delivering other animals. Lucky was a lot quieter than I had expected. We picked her up as Lucky was already pushing for a second. The little one was weighed and marking recorded....well ish!!!
