| ?? about labor Okay my girl is getting up and pacing the floors about every 10-15 mintues. She'll dig, pant, go to her pee pad, squat and push for about 15-20 seconds, make another round around the room and go back to the pee pad and do the same. Only a drop of pee comes out and then she goes back to her crate to rest...is she trying to poo or pee or is she starting stage 2? this is really dragging on slowly. |

| Sounds like she is having a great deal of pressure and feels the need to relieve it in anyway she is familair with...do you actually see contractions or just the need to squat? |

| Yes I agree, usually the whole squat and try to pee is a sign of a contraction and a pup coming down the canal. Keep your eyes on her at all times now.... So excited for you .....keep us updated... |

| She is raising her tail when she squats. She's been streching her legs in her crate. I'll keep a closer eye on her tail..I havent been paying that much attention to it. I'll watch her and let you know more about her tail position. Thanks a bunch guys. |

| That is a sure sign of pushing when they stretch out their legs and raise their tail and a contraction is seen. They do not all pant. They do not all dig. They do not all follow any book we have. Some grunt when they push others do not. Keep that one in mind. I have a girl that shows no signs! She eats even during labor! The only sign I do get it the tail raise, leg stretch and licking, then you look over and there is a pup all the way out!! So eagle eye time....getting jittery just thinking about you doing this... |

| Okay, she just got done making another round. She is lifting her tail only when she squats to try to pee. Walking around and panting--no tail lifting. She's doing really well. |
