Lexi is due - Hurricane Gustav hit us - no electricity

[Debbie Jaynes]

your babies are beautiful. Is Ressie a chocolate yorkie? I pray that you guys are safe. We use to go the Caddo Lake and camp when we lived in Texas. We use to live in the Dallas area and enjoyed Caddo Lake alot. Hate that you have to go there in in such uncertain times.

Thank you
Yes Reesie is a Chocolate Yorkie

Caddo Lake is so beautiful & relaxing.
We also spent every summer when I was a child at The Lake of the Pines a few miles from there.

Thanks for the Prayers

Stormy has been a handful on the evacuation trip.
Stormy & Kylee were fighting for blood alot.
They have never fought like that before.
My husband & each had a bloody finger from breaking up the fights.
Poor babies were so stressed out.
They all are so happy to be home. Just happy playing with their toys & running in the back yard!
They all are back to normal now. Thank God!!!
Stormy sends Kisses to brother Jake....
Thansk for the pryaers, Kim

hopefully puppies soon! Can't wait. We had puppies this Jan. We kept one and he is beautiful. I had such a wonderful time with the birth and taking care of ea. of them. Alot of work though. My neighbor has one of my little guys and everytime he hears my laugh he goes crazy. I am the only one outside of their family that he climbs up into my lap. I can't almost get him away from me. He is so cute. Keep us posted. Deb

Happy to hear ya'll are OK.
OMG thats alot of babies to evacuate with!
& I thought I had alot with 5 yorkies.
I tell you the hardest part was stopping on the trip every 2-3 hours worrying if your gonna find gasoline on the way. Then potty breaks with them on 5 leashes!!! every one of them want to go in different directions & twisting all the leashes up & getting their lil legs caught in the leash every 10 seconds!!!

Well Lexi's temp is back down this morning.
I am so confused???

I have been taking Lexi's temp with a human digital thermometer rectally - I can't find a dog digital themometer here - petsmart has no electricity yet.
I don't know if I am supposed to add a degree or 2 BUT
Here are the temps i have taken:

SAT
11:15 am = 99.3
SUN
8 pm = 100.4
MON
8 am = 98.4
3 pm = 98.0
7 pm = 100.1
TUES
7 am = 98.5

this is confusing me because her temp goes up 2 degrees at night & back down in the morning???


Any thoughts on this???

There are a number of things that can cause temperature changes. If your bitch needs to potty then you might get a higher temperature or if your bitch has not eaten recently her blood sugar may be low and that will cause a lower temperature. I have often had my bitches run a lower temperature in the morning and by noon it would be back up to normal. I know this is frustrating. I do pray that you have a safe whelping.
