We are expecting a litter today but so far nothing, do dogs usually "nest" at night, she is Laid back but she has been this way for about a week or so I took her for several 15 min. walks today. she is eating very little kibble but won't turn down a chicken stick for nothing....LOL!!! her temp has been lower since day 58ish it is now 98.7 and has been around that for at least the past 3 times i've checked it. I know it just takes patience but I'm running out..... and really could use some sleep.

Yes, they do seem to prefer to keep us up and have their wee ones at night. Hang in there. Maybe you and your hubby can take turns doing whelping watch. I say that but mine just goes to bed, he knows I'd never be able to sleep anyway.

Good luck.Hope all goes well.
Same here Tami ....hubby just goes on to bed like its nothing.
I could never do that.

yorkieluvinmoma · 08-02-2007, 03:36 AM

Still nothing, her tummy seems smaller today. I took her out for several walks thinking this would help move things along and she made a small yelp outside I thought this may be the start of labor later last night i turned her over to see the babies move and noticed her little boobies were flushed, then discovered a bee sting, the yelp was from a being sting.... poor baby. will this affect the babies? so far she isnt showing any signs of distress or anything she is her normal LAZY self.

LOL about the sleep but let me tell you it doesn't get any better once they are here. We just had a litter early Tuesday morning and its like having a new baby in the house. Every peep they make I am out of bed to make sure everything is okay.

Best of luck and all I can say is they do it when they are ready!

well i put a doggie sticker on my calendar

it was on the 1st day of june, i realized later that one of the kids moved it from the 2nd day of june i bred her on 6-2,6-4, and 6-6 i am a new breeder (this is my 3rd litter starting in 05) so it's been a while for me

i counted only 62 days because that is what the book said that would make today day 62 right? I am confused!!!

i guess she delivers when she delivers. i took her temp today (it was after our mid-morning walk) and it was 100.2 so i don't know what she is doing. it stayed around 98.6 all day yesterday.

lisatodd · 08-02-2007, 08:29 AM

a lot of people count 63 days from the 2nd tie. their temp can drop then spike back up.

yorkieluvinmoma · 08-02-2007, 08:35 AM

so i am holding a baby and trying to type so my brain is fried...LOL the second tie was 6-4 that would make her due when?????
