I wouldn't worry yet. A dog's pregnancy can last up to 68 days. If Jenny reaches 69 days of pregnancy with no signs of going into labor, then I would be concerned and you will need to have her see a vet immediately.

    I would have Sam seen by a vet today. Since she is at the very end of her pregnancy and dogs need to see a vet when they are at 69 days gestation without going into labor, she needs veterinary attention as she likely needs help giving birth.
