We noticed our parents took Nala and left, and we tracked their location. They were at a vet, so we've been worried about Nala and we want to make sure everything's okay. Look, there is their car right there. Yeah, why would they hide this from us? Yeah, let's go see what's wrong. Do you think they're going to be mad that we're all done here? I don't know, maybe. Should I? I'm scared. I'll say, "Excuse me," and then you. Is Nala here? Do you hear Nala in there? No, but I hear more. Oh, oh, we caught you. What's Nala doing here? Is she sick? What's happening? She looks fine to me. Well, we're not sure. What do you mean? Oh, the idea. What's going on? Nala checks out good and healthy. She is going to have puppies. What? What? No, she's pregnant? Nala's having puppies? Are you sure? Yeah, she is pregnant. She's excited to have puppies. Mama, you're pregnant, baby! Congrats, all exciting. Let's go tell the rest of the family. Nala's having puppies. Hon's the expert in helping Nala deliver these puppies, and she's not here yet. I don't know how to do this without Payton. We're at Creekside Animal Hospital to see how many puppies Nala is going to have. We're in the X-ray room and I think we should guess how many she has. I say five. I think she has four puppies. I think three. I'll say three puppies. Oh, I have an idea. Whoever guesses right, how about they get to choose which puppy we keep? Oh, wait, we keep? Wait, wait, wait, no, nobody said we could keep a puppy. We're going to keep— we going to keep? That wasn't part of the plan. We're not keeping the— you'll like them, Dad. You'll okay if I guess right then I get to decide if we keep a puppy? Well, you're going to guess wrong and we're not going to keep a puppy. Okay, guess. What's your guess? I guess four. I already guessed. Guess again. Five. Already guessed. Guess again. Who guessed five? Me. Six. What's left? Eight. Why take nine or two? Say two. Nine. I'm going— I'm going to pull out nine puppies. No way. Okay, let's see how many the doctor thinks she's going to have. Well, it's not absolute, but from the number of the spines I can count in heads, I think there's five. Think right? That's what I was going to guess. Guess there much more like to be more than less, so it could be five or six. Or if there's going to be a difference from five, it probably will be over five because I can count five heads and five spines. So that's awesome. Five small that it's double. No, one, two, three, four, five heads and then there's spines associated with each of those. You can see their bones. You see the vertebra here and there. There's a head there, there's a head there, there's a head right here. You can see this is the whole puppy. There's the front arms, there's the head, there's the spine that comes down, the back legs, and when they overlap each other, that's where it's hard to kind of count the numbers. Price people, that's awesome. Did you get to see Nala? Are you excited to have puppies? I don't want to be the first one out there. Well, we're going to need to find a good home for these eight puppies, so if you guys want a puppy, tell us in the comments. We're going to turn this front room into a puppy room. Boys, I need your help. Bo was in the house. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Ow, my fingers are— can't. M, no worry about you. You see your belly is big. There's puppies in it like that big. They're little tiny puppies, like when we got you. Yes, in your belly. It's late at night and we think Nala is about to go into labor, so we got to get her spot ready quick. Yeah, this is faster than we thought, so we got to set up. This is massive. Okay, we want to make sure Nala likes her birthing place, and so she's getting her first treat. Sit. Stay. Leave it. Leave it. You see those puppy dog eyes? Okay, well, she's still got an appetite. It's not a big deal. We just have to take her temperature, come home, and stick it up her butt. Yeah, I'll do that. You'll do it? Yeah, okay, come on. Wait, actually, yeah, grab this and put up her B. What? I want to wash my hand. No. Wash here, girl. On it. Go. Watch it. Go. Watch it. Watch. I don't think she knows what's going on, but she knows she doesn't feel here. That heavy panting, she did not just run a marathon. Oh, that's another sign. Loss of appetite means they're in labor. Is this a treat or a shoe? It's a treat. She loves it, but she's eating so many of those. She loves them. She is not interested. She doesn't want— wow, she does not want. She never turned down a treat before. No. Nala just started having contractions. What are the wood chips for? So when the puppies go potty, it goes through them. They don't smell bad or step in it. Okay, we have three bags of wood chips. Hatton's the expert in helping Nala deliver these puppies, and she's not here yet, so we're hoping she gets here in time. I don't know how to do this without Payton. Someone needs to look up how to do this. You guys were supposed to research. Payton's been researching for months. You didn't research how to do this? No. I thought you're in charge. Isn't she your dog? No. Whose dog is she? She's Payton's dog, but you guys all bought her together, so we're all helping pay for the dog. $3,000 all five of us, right? Yes. We're going to do it all at— we're going to do it for that. Do it. Well, guess who got her pregnant? Mom. Okay, Cooper did and her husband. Oh, Cooper. Yeah. Where's Cooper? Why isn't he here? That's a good question. Fatherless. Nala's husband Cooper lives with another family, so he just comes to visit. See it? It's hanging. Nala wants to play. No, no, you made it just in time. Well, here it comes. When we did x-rays a couple days ago, the vet said that the puppies' heads were about an inch and Nala can handle about 1.7 inches, so she should be okay. They also said that the first one will be the biggest one because it was right in the spot and it was the biggest. It's okay, Nala. I'm here. Nothing was out once that popped. Nothing was out once it popped. It was just a— oh, one just came out. I've got one. Let lick it. Let Nala lick it. We got one. Okay, we have a puppy. Did it break open the— yeah, put on the ground. Yeah, the sack is still closed. Should we let Mom remove it? Let her remove it. Nala is working on getting the sack open. Perfect. Let her lick it all up. The puppy is moving. It's moving. Oh, that's a good sign. Let lick it and activate it, and she'll clean it all up. That's what she should do. And sometimes if you just let her do that, it's best. This is exciting and crazy. Let Nala clean up everything, and by the time she cleans up that puppy, there'll probably be another one. This is exciting. The Millers are grandparents already. Yeah, wow. She knows how to do this with no training. Yeah, it's all instinct, and she'll eat it all, and you know she'll eat all the puppies' poop and pee until they're totally weaned. Can you believe it? We have a puppy. Nala's a mommy. Hi, guess who's a mommy? Nala. Nala's a mommy. Look at the first puppy. The first puppy is out. I'm running at her right now. Look at that. She knew how to do it. Oh, did you hear that? It's her first sound. Nala. Oh, scream. How does she know how to be a mommy? Mom, wasn't this good? The second one ended up better. So the second one— okay, all right, she's getting ready for number two. I was at a high school football game and my mom said, "I think she's going to have them soon." You should probably start heading home, and then she calls me like five minutes later and she's like, "She's pushing, she's pushing," and then I'm riding home on my— one meal so fast I almost died like so many times. Oh, oh, here it is. Here it is. Ally, puppy number two. Oh my goodness. Puppy number two is not responsive yet. Is it breathing? How long did it take the other one to be responsive? It's pretty quick. How long can they be non-responsive and still have a chance? Oh, 10 minutes. So okay, if that one's not responsive, there's a good chance that's not going to make it. The second one went so much smoother than the first, like it just came out and Nala was doing her thing. Yeah, I got it space uncovered right away. There wasn't much fluid. Like I did the nose and mouth. There was like— what? Well, there was only a tiny bit that wasn't there before. I know there's no way to know. It could have—
