Long Night and Today

It was a long night. Her temps have stayed down all night. Today will be the day - of course as Nathan is at the show.

She is nesting wherever she can except in her whelping box. She even hid under the couch and was so far in the corner I couldn't see her. I swore I had her in the whelping room but here she refused to respond and I couldn't see her. I thought I was losing my mind as I knew she was in here and here she wasn't. Dennis crawled under the couch and said see she is blending in and she is in the corner. He had to lift the couch to give me access to her.

She is trying to find a place she deems safe to her to have her pups. It will be today. As Deb mentioned she may hold out till Nathan gets home around 6 and then again maybe not.

Right now I made room on my desk with the bed and she is not overly happy so I may watch hockey and Dennis and Jon can play with the rest of the dogs. It may mean no great photos of the others but I am sure you understand.

Temps Dropped Again

Well the pups have repositioned themselves. She all of a sudden appears larger. She's sticking to us like glue. But I don't think pups tonight - wee morning perhaps but has she done anything NORMAL?

No labor yet. Heck maybe she will wait for Panda.

Off to bed to cuddle with the Roxie and the ipad. We shall see if Nathan makes it to the show tomorrow. :-)

He may be sending Jon down to Val to drive her. :-) We are in a pickle as he has 4 dogs to show and paid a lot to do so. :-( Then there is Val that is showing someone else's dogs and she doesn't drive and Nathan is supposed to be picking her up.

So when do you think she will have her pups? He's supposed to leave at 63am?

Nothing New

Nathan is packed for the show tomorrow. Roxie's pups are kicking but that's about it. Maybe she is waiting for Panda? Unless she is going into overdrive doesn't look like it wil happen tonight. :-) Time will tell.

Forget About It

Temps are up to 99.7. I slept on my back well. Who knows what today will bring but I hear tell Mommy has a lot of baths to do. Daddy is supposed to go to the show tomorrow. Will that upset everything if I decide tomorrow is the day? heh

Belly Shots

Not the best but it is what it is. I think in the one on the floor she looks a LOT like Miss Abs.

Latest Temps

My temps are now 99.8. I am keeping Mommy on her toes.

I have been checking out this whelping box and seeing what that is about.

I am a smaller gal with a symphony - okay not a symphony - a duet playing in my tummy. I think I am about the size of Debi's Laci.

Mommy shaved my tummy again. She says it has something to do with giving the duet guys/gals access to a milkbar. She says I have 10 milkbars. That's a whole lot of food for 2.

Mommy even checked to see if those 10 milk bar stations were working. Geez is nothing sacred?

She sticks this thing where the sun doesn't shine and yells to Daddy these numbers. It's all Greek to me but they get these looks. To be honest she can stop taking my temps as food no longer excites me. So now I don't even get treated for putting up with this ^%$.

I am off to play. Yes, play. A gal has to get in all the fun she can.

A Set Up?

Roxie doesn't do anything 'normal'. I stayed up off and on all night and nothing. Yes, she had a temp drop. Yes, she should have started labor with that drop within 12-24 hours. Okay 24 hours is 145pm but she just ate a hearty meal.

She went back up to 110.2 at 10pm but now back to 98.5.

We are ready. We had the towels nice and neat. She made them un-neat. That's her prerogative. Looks like we wait, watch and see. It's all we can do. Maybe she will make it to Valentine's Day and then I will have to give them my own names - though temporary ones just because!

Temps Dropped

Roxie's temperature  has dropped to 97.9. We still do not have the boxes up but are working on it. Roxie was just out playing. A drop means 12 to 24 hours usually or less.

Well, it is better than Friday when I have 6 dogs to wash. hahahahaha

Update on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 5:09PM by Darlah

She's back up to 99.2 and no signs. Hoping its a false drop but taking a nap with her just in case its a long night as its me who does the all night shift.

-Still nothing so hoping not tonight. She has orders daytime deliveries please. :-)

Immaculate Conception: Temps Added

Well, she has 2 folks due get this ANY DAY now. This is what happens when you have no connection. The buggers can't swim far but 2 made it. I was hoping not. But it is what it is.

What we are worried about is a possible c-section as pups are large and she has never had a connection so delivery will be tough. I am rather anxiety ridden with this one but nothing we can do now. Yes, one could be hidden but for now we will say 2. I am sure they will be beautiful pups - just because.

Roxie is sitting at 99.6 at 5pm and 99.8 at 10pm. Bedtime - no pups tonight. Dennsi is still cleaning and setting up. Oh boy.
