You're a real peach, Sonya
. You're also a much better explainer of the details than I am. In Caty's case, she should have had her pups within the hour when I dropped her at the vet's. She held off for 8 hours to have them. It's amazing how important their state of mind is when it comes to birthing. This girl here may well hold off for hours waiting for her mom to come home. With the birth of our first child, my wife's labor stopped because she was so ill at ease with the doctor's and the place she was at. I actually packed her up and took her to another hospital 3 hours away. She then started her labor again and we had our first son.
