Thanks for the advice, ladies. I'll definitely cut her hair shorter, I didn't even think of the possibility that a puppy could get caught in it. I'll be sad to see her hair go. It's in better condition than my own!

Luckily it grows pretty quickly.
I've been on a sewing kick lately. I made Roxie a dog bed from scratch, with no pattern! It looks so cute. Obviously she won't be using it with her pups but now I think I'm going to whip a few flannel blankets to line her big whelping kennel.
I just realized that Roxie could whelp in as little as 8-9 days..

I think I'm going into panic mode. I feel like I'm the pregnant one, with all the nesting I'm doing. LOL.
Laura- can't wait to be on puppy watch for ya!
