First-time momTrinity discovered that labor is hard and painful. And, never being one with a high pain tolerance, she simply decided not to push. That lead to the entire process beginning at about noon on 04/10/17...with the first pup not arriving until 2:19 am and ending at 6:40 am today, April 11th.

Grandma Polliwog was on hand and a bit worried about her daughter Trinity.
Everyone but Whisper had arrived by 4 am.
Not sure about the camera, but supremely happy with her pups.
Figuring out this cleaning business.
