Rotting Zucchini

At first glance you would think the dog decided to make himself a cool bed out in the yard at the look of my Zucchini plants, but upon closer inspection the plant itself isn't broken...it is mushy! I kinda figured this would happen as each time I pulled a Zuchini off and it left an exposed wound to bacteria all around. So my guess is that it got a bacterial infection and it has died :( Now my bed is going to look all empty! I picked my big zucchini that I didn't pick in time and let go to seed. There are two more fingerling baby zucchinis on the plants. So I guess we'll see!
