Just checking, wondering how things are going, looking for updates. So many uncertainties. I hope there are no issues and when the blessed event occurs, everything is okay. I would not want to have to 'cram' to catch up enough to 'help out' in such a situation, especially if it was not my dog and the decisions were not truly mine to make. I wish you all the best in your endeavor and would like to hear of the outcome...including pix of mom and pups.
