I was able to get some surgical scissors from my school (I'm in pre-nursing) for the umbilical cord. I know any scissors will do, but these things are neat. And sterile. Haha. Roxie is laying on my lap right now and I just felt the puppy completely flip around! (Roxie's belly is pressed to my thigh and that pup is wiggling around like crazy in there.) How cool! |
Well, that's not a known fact (about the skull growth) on my part, it just seems logical & makes sense to me.
Gosh, I sure wish Halle would sit still long enough for me to really feel that puppy move for more than a second.
She's either always on the move or if she is laying around (usually on her side these days), if I dare try to sneak up and lay my hand on her, she's up and moving again.
Boy, with all the pups we've had so far and the ones left to go, we've got whelps almost every week this month!!!
