Yes, those are good signs (higher temp & an appetite), though all dogs are different. Mine had pups when her temp was 99-something. I'm glad to see that you have a place for her now.........keep her away from going under anything!
Because I am hoping for a litter in August, I was doing some reading today and I saw somewhere that it said taking the temp was one thing, but this person (or article) said that the female will just plain ol' feel cooler to the touch when she's ready to whelp. I'm guessing they are meaning bare skin, like her belly. Hmmmm, I wonder if that's true or if anyone here has ever noticed it before. I'll have to keep that in mind for myself if/when my time comes.
