Gosh, I'll bet you just can't wait for the waiting to be over, huh? We're all right there with you. As far as the temp going down....I guess I thought the 99 temp was in the down range...I've seen it listed as 99-98. Don't know what Lexie's was actually doing before she had her pups since I didn't expect the pups til this weekend, I didn't even get to start taking her temp; only that morning. How's her appetite this morning and/or watch for that shivering....that's what gave it away for me. Lexie had her first pup not to long after I noticed that. Hopefully it'll happen today or at least this weekend sometime. I think yours is the last one til around halloween time from what I've been seeing posted. "Come on, DORI!"
