Why is my dog crying and drooling during mating and tie? Is it normal?

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | unspayed | 2 years old | 50 lbs

Hello! As im typing this I am sitting right next to my dog and male dog. They just mated and are now tied. I noticed that Leila cried when our male dog entered and started thrusting. Is this normal? It's Leilas first time mating. Also, Leila is excessively drooling at the moment. Is this normal during a tie/mating?

This is all quite normal during mating. Be sure to keep them segregated after mating to prevent frequent mating which can be traumatic for both, repeat mating in 48hours is generally considered optimal
