GO GET A BURGER AND SHOW UP IN ABOUT AN HOUR. SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT THAN YOU, ME AND/OR THE VACANT VET.

With Papillons it's more a matter of escape than birth. My experience is that dogs managed to whelp successfully, even before there were humans around to help. Let mom get into a quiet corner, and get out of nature's way.
If you're like me, you'll wanna puke if you stick around to see her eat the placenta.

I'm so glad the first two are doing well. Don't be too quick to think things are over at #3. Sometimes vets are wrong.

Looks like you succinctly posted the same advice I was giving while I was still typing.

Do NOT act agitated in any way. The mother dog will pick up on your nervousness and make her even more tense. Speak calmly to her, reassure her, tell her what a great mom she is. If a pup should arrive and not start breathing pretty quickly, be prepared to rub it quite vigorously with a dry washcloth or small towel to get it 'revved' up. :O) In a total of four litters (basenji), we only lost one pup.

No advice to offer, but good luck! We'd all love to see some pictures of the cuties when you get a chance.

Used to have a chow/golden retriever mix. When she had started nesting I made a box for her and told her to get in. She looked at me like I was nuts. Then my husband left for work. I kept hearing a little bird sound. The dog was in a panic and kept walking to a sleeping bag. There was a girl puppy in that sleeping bag. I let her birth there. My son (who was three at the time kept saying, "Ew! Boot!"--which was his word for Poop) The only thing I needed to help with was guiding the puppies to their mom's nipples to start nursing. Otherwise, they were in great condition.
