I felt contractions like we get when pregnant. last night she went into the cat tree for a little while and when I took her out to go potty last night and this morning I had to pick her up to get her to come inside. She ate all of her breakfast and had a normal stool this morning. No digging not relly restless and does not appear to be over uncomfortable. No milk leaking. What should I look for or do at this point?

Sometimes if you lay your hand lightly on their side or belly, you can feel very light contractions for a week or so before the actual labor starts. Appears to be normal for a dog this many days. i don't pay a lot of attention to temps. i used to be faithful doing it and then decided for the few times it is accurate, i would not worry my bitch by taking it. But, i have the advantage of a lot of people. i am retired so I can stay with my girl 24/7. If I were you, I would do nothing at this point other than what you are doing but watch her closely.
