I have a portable pen that I set up when I travel or if I need to confine Twinkles and Ollie to an area of the house. I was planning on using it when the puppies were born to keep Ollie out of the way and give Twinks and the pups their space. The thought of putting her in there now breaks my heart, as she follows me everywhere (always has), sleeps with me and I don't want her to think she is being punished by putting her in there before she has to be with her pups. (I know, I am a big woose). She is very clingy right now and wants to be right next to me. If I am in the recliner or on the couch, she has to be right next to me. I work from home, so she is used to me being around all the time. I admit, I am the perverbial over-protective grammy/mommy.
Is is normal for the temperature to be down in the morning and up at night? And do dogs lose a mucous plug like humans? I have noticed that there are several "wet spots" on the sheet where she sleeps (I have put a folded sheet on the bed on the "dog's side).?
Thanks for answering all my questions.
Lynn, Twinkles
