Ruby

11:25 Ruby moved in on Monday. She had her xray which showed 9 or 10 puppies.

Last night labor started just before dinner. We were up all night. I set my alrm for every 2 hours to check if she was progressing. At about 7 she started going out every 15 minutes.  She was clearly getting ready. She pushed for a while. She worked realy hard for that first puppy.
