Since we own the male it's hard to say, after just a few days tho, we separated them. Yesterday I didn't take her temp at all. Just got disgusted after it started fluctuating so much. I think I will go take it since today is the 23rd. By the way I just luv you guys! You make me feel so much better

That is a funny story. If you have time, go read the beginning of my thread. It's in the Breeder Talk forum..."Day 59.........blah blah blah"

Reading you thread reminds me of the same thing I was going through with the temps, to the licking and laying around. You can even check out what the other YTer's were telling me that maybe haven't posted on here. It would give you maybe a little more reassurance. I will tell you that she never actually went into labor. She had very "light" contractions forever and never progressed and we took her in and she had a c-section. The vet told us that he would have liked her to come in sooner than we did. She never dilated and he said that it would have been dangerous if she had gone another day with the light contractions. He said 4-6 hours after she started having contractions I should have brought her in. Well I thought when he had told me before at a pre-checkup the thing about the 4-6 hours... my husband and I both thought he meant 4-6 hrs after harder labor started with her panting and stuff. He said dogs aren't like people (women) when they go into labor, they should progress fairly quickly, not do like women do and drag on for days. And Peaches never did pant. Just breathed harder during the contractions and she was just lying around. I can't remember, is she having contractions? and if so, for how long? Is your vet on stand by for the weekend? And in telling you all this about what my vet said.... all vets are different. So take what you want to know in this post and keep it, and what you don't want ..... throw it out. I am so excited for you.

I was thinking something may be going on since you haven't been on since yesterday early afternoon. I am really hoping you are busy with new puppies and you don't have time for us right now.

We'll be waiting, impatiently of course!
