Last night Capella appeared to enter Stage One labor with some nesting (digging blankets in a corner of the bedroom) and some panting overnight. This morning she did not finish her breakfast, did more nesting, and has a faster-than-normal respiration rate as her body does the hard work of preparing to have puppies. This stage can last 24 - 36 hours 😬
Think good thoughts 🩷💙🍀🙏

Capella and I have very different ideas about where the babies should be born.

Capella has spent the day alternating between panting/digging/acting like she is about to get down to business — and sleeping. This all seems pretty normal at this point. I guess we will see what the night brings.
