Your welcome Paula. I am sitting here thinking how I can't wait til the puppies start really moving. Right now they move but it's not noticeable by looking so I lay there with my hand on her belly and feel a movement but then I wonder if it was really a movement or just my imagination. Although the food disappearing from the food bowl is not my imagination. i think this time I may turn Hubby's closet into the whelping area. I hope to hear news that all went well with Halle and her whelping. I will continue to check in and who knows I may have a few more stories for you. I find that it helps to take the mind of the task for a brief moment and then the female will relax. i had a friend who talked to me the entire time Maggie was whelping and it helped me relax and me relaxing helped her to relax. Maybe if you have a laundry basket or a plastic crate that you can take the top off of, you could put towels and if you have a peepad on the bottom put halle in it sit down, watch a movie and just lay your hand on her to let her know your there. Who knows you may just feel the first contraction.
