Congratulations! Now you have your new puppy and one to share with your friend. Are they boys, girls.

I think that she is probably finished. If she seems fine and happy and normal, then just keep your eyes on her. I had someone stay with Zowie the entire first day. Can you take off work, someone should be around for the first few days, too. If you don't have a scale, it would be a good idea to track one down. I had one puppy who did not gain any weight for the first 4 days. If you don't have one, maybe your vet would let you just bring them by for a weight check.

Also, it is time to decide if you want to have their tails docked - around day 3 or 4. You can go ahead and make that appointment, too - and have them re-weighed.

Be sure you are feeding mom extra. I gave mine cottage cheese - about 3 tbl per day for extra calcium and calories.
