| Mucus Plug?? What does a mucus plug (right term?) look like? I just noticed a small brownish thing......it was a little stuck so I used a baby wipe to grab it off. Right before I noticed that, I saw the puppies moving in her tummy.

| Temps on mine will drop and go back up several times. Keep taking it and when the temp drops and stay down then she is getting close. Good luck for a safe whelping. |

| Okay. Chloe and I are at the point that when I pull out the thermometer she just looks at me like, "Again - - really!?!?". This is what her temps have been: 9:30 am - 100.7 11:30 am - 99.3 3:00 pm - 100.2 She is just napping for now - but wont let me out of her sight.

Check out these new temps, they are starting to become predictable: 4:00 p.m. - 99.5 4:40 p.m. - 100.5 5:50 p.m. - 99.4 She is napping, but earlier she was digging and panting for a short period of time. She hasnt eaten in a few hours - and I am trying to get her to eat!

| Just took her temp - it is 98.8 - the lowest that I have seen it in the past few weeks. I just got home, she is just hanging out for now - havent been able to observe behaviors for a few hours (she was being watched, though), so I guess I will see shortly.......I will keep you posted.

| Keep checking her temp throughout the night...This way you will not miss it and can make arrangements to be home with her...Please do not leave her unattended...Things can go quickly sometimes and you never know when they will need emergency assistance!
