Well, Rosie's temp this morning was 98.6. She went through a short time (about 4 hours) where she would want to stay in her whelping area. She is getting even more picky with her choice of food. I will monitor her temp thoughout the day. Her due date(from the 1st tie) is Monday, but when we had x-rays done the vet said he thinks it might be closer to Wed. because the pups were so small. He thinks that she became pregnant from the 2nd tie. So the longer they stay in the better! I will most definetely keep you guys posted!

Tiny hair bands for identification....that's a good idea! It's so hard to find things small enough to fit these tiny yorkies of ours!

Oh gosh...Please don't purchase the "Tiny" ones! The tiny ones are going to be WAY too small... I suggest the medium sized ones. See for yourself, they're a perfect fit!

Baileys temp was 98.4 this afternoon. It is now back up to 98.8. She has been nesting and going in little dark corners all day. I read somewhere that if her temp drops below 98.0 degrees she will have them in 12-24 hours. But I also read somewhere else that if her temp drops below 98.4 she will have the pups in 12-24 hours.... Which is it and do you think she might have them tonight? I haven't noticed any contractions starting yet..... She is on day 62 today. Yay!!! I might get puppies tonight!

Yep, yep.........sounds like a long night for you. If she doesn't have them tonight, it will likely be tomorrow with temps staying in the 98 degree range. But either way, you'll need to stay awake/aware of what may or may not be happening with her. Good luck!

Yep, exactly! They are just medium sized ouchless hairbands. I generalized the "medium" sizing based on the ones that are so small that they fit on your finger. Then there are the large ones that can fit on an average sized wrist. And, medium which are sized just in between small and large. I get mine out the hair section of my local Walmart. They come in multi-colored packs with about twenty of them in each. What ever you do, please make sure that they are the ouchless kind and do not get the figure sized ones. They are WAY too small, even for our sized furbabies.

I most definetely will make sure they are the right size and check them several times a day. They grow so fast and can fill them up! Do you find that their front paws get caught in them?

Rosie's temp this morning was 97.4! Today is her official due date from her first tie. So....I have backup for my work for this week. I want to make sure I am with her when she has her pups!

Here are some group shots of the babies born early this morning. I can't stop watching them. They are so fascinating! Amazing! I hope you enjoy them.
