Hi Anne
Yeah no puppies yet she just acts normal.... I know she will go soon though. The question is when?? LOL I will keep you all posted!

Were you able to get any sleep??
Whew, what an exhausting time. But, it will be well worth it.

I got a few hours...better then nothing when you are on puppy watch. I am hoping she goes today. She is acting really different and just lying there. I put her in her whelping area as to see how she would do. She did flip the sheets and then lay on top of them but it was nothing to serious..... So i am not counting that as nesting. i mean she only did that for a few seconds. She is still eating as well. So maybe later this afternoon late tonight. I have to go to work today and i hope she doesnt go while im gone. Some one will be with her or at least stopping in every few hours to check on her and if anything progresses they are going to call me and hopefully i can get out of work. If she shows any signs within the next hour i will call out but i dont want to do that incase she decides to hold off for another day .....LOL This is driving me crazy....Im so anxious for these furbabies that i cant stand it any longer.

Keeping my fingers crossed that she goes when im home.....if im at work i hope she holds off until im here....

Ill keep you all posted! And thanks for everything!

My baby girls has still not gone either. Which she is just on day 62. I was sure that she was showing signs like 2 days ago. She has always went on day 59 or 60. Maybe she didn't take on the first tie. She had a tie then skipped a day, then tied like 11 times after...lol So I'm pretty sure she is preggers..lol Her temp is back up to 99.6 this morning. She is still eating also. I can't see her losing her appeitite cause she is such a lil piggy. Oh well, maybe they will go at the say time...Come on Peyton and Zoe .... alot of ppl are watching and waiting...

Chloe and Joey · 07-22-2008, 06:35 AM

Hopefully she will wait until you get home

.

On a side note - Chloe would pant seldomly a few days before she had the pups. On Sunday, I left to go to a bridal shower. She wasnt panting until about 5 minutes when I got home and I thought - Oh, no, please dont go now - I have to go to work!! So, I left for work while my fiance watched her. He said there was no panting, nothing while I was gone. I got back at 11 pm and she started panting again - sure enough, around 4 am she was waking us up!

Whether she wants to go while you are there, or while you are at work, I am sure that everything will work out fine. Just have the dog/puppy-sitter keep a camera on-hand incase you are not home right away!

I don't know if this would be any help, but my vet said that you should take your dog for a ride in the car. It gets them excited and the adrenaline should cause them to go into labor. He said it is an old pig farmer trick.

I really don't know from experience, but maybe it is worth a try.

Chloe and Joey · 07-22-2008, 07:03 AM

Now, thats something I never heard!! The only thing I would caution against is that she might not be as far along as you have calculated (ovulation can affect this, as I am sure you have read). In that case, you really dont want to over stimulate her or get her to go into early labor - as you will end up with premature pups. I had the misfortune of going through the live birth and deaths of four premature pups a few weeks ago.

Sorry to be a downer, but I would caution against over stimulation at this point.

Duncanmom · 07-22-2008, 08:13 AM

From everything I have read, she's ready any time,.a car ride, around the block just might do the trick, or a fast paced walk. I have done that a couple times.

crickadoodle · 07-22-2008, 08:20 AM

I don't think it would like force it to go into a premature labor. It would just get the ball rolling. My vet is awesome and has been in the business a long time.

LOL.....I get this picture of Fred Ziffle taking Arnold the pig out for a ride in his truck.....c'mon, Arnold...push, boy...

Chloe and Joey · 07-22-2008, 10:35 AM

Hey,

I wasnt trying to offend anyone or say that their idea was a bad one. I guess I am more cautious, perhaps overly cautious, than most. Chloe gave birth to those four little pups only 3 weeks ago, so the feelings are a bit raw and I would hate to see anyone have to lose the entire litter the way that I did.

With that said, it seems like she is going to have them soon!

Again, my apologies to Crickadoodle if you thought I wasnt being nice!!

crickadoodle · 07-22-2008, 10:45 AM

No offense taken. I just have a really good vet who takes time to talk to you about everything. He's so thorough.

I think it's funny too about the pigs. My vet found it humorous when he shared this information. He was saying he doubted they still did this today, with such big pig farms. Can you imagine the sight of all those pregnant pigs in the back of the truck??!!

My Stevie Rae is about to have her puppies soon and already has milk -- so I'm reading everything I can to be prepared. I think she is on her 57th day.

crickadoodle · 07-22-2008, 10:52 AM

Oh, and Jenn, I'm very sorry about your loss. I know that had to be a very hard thing to go through.

no nothing much... she has been roaming around going around to everyone. She was panting earlier a little heavier however it was probably just a panting of being hot. I dont know when she is going to go if its going by ovulation i dont know when it was.
