At least you are getting something done around the house. With DC, she wanted to be close to me all the time. Once I was timing the contractions, I wanted to be close to her. Waiting is hard but once she gets started, you will forget all about the waiting. Good luck.

Thanks, She is following me around pretty much all over. I was laying on the couch watching her. She would walk into get some food and turned around and looked at me, so I closed my eyes and she ate and came back in by me and was pawing at me, like for me to wake up. It was pretty cute. Are the contractions noticeable? I've been trying to watch to see if she is having any, but not able to tell at all.

At first the contractions were slight but could be felt if I put my hand on her side. Her sides would get hard to the touch and then ease. As they went along, the contractions were visible because the babies would almost pop out of her side because the contractions were so hard. I could see the muscles tighten around the babies and hold for a while and then ease. When they got to that point, I knew we were in for a delivery.

Oh ok, I'll have to keep my eyes out for that. This has been an experience and I just can't wait till the pups are delivered and can actually see them. It was just amazing last night being able to feel them moving, and to see them kicking. I was like OMG WOW!

My females usually stick their butts in the air with each contraction that s how I can usually tell for sure they are ready. That poor little girl of yourss looks ready to pop!

When hard labor begins, she will stretch her neck in the air and kind of back and might barr her teeeth ass if she is in pain with each contradction.

Delilah's Mommy · 09-06-2007, 03:17 PM

how is she coming along?

eaglez28 · 09-06-2007, 05:24 PM

How is she doing this evening?
Also - What is her name?

appletonboy · 09-06-2007, 06:11 PM

She "Nelly" is doing great. playing with the other 2 like nothing. So confusing lol... she was laying on my chest earlier today and I could feel the pups moving around and that was again just an awesome feeling. I'm thinking the 1st breeding isnt the one, lol... will probably be this weekend or early next week. Her temp tonight was up slightly to 99.5. Her normal temp is around 100.5.

From the 1st time they locked it would be day 64, but they did breed once a day or every other day for about 10 days. I since found out that was bad

but if she was fertile the last 5 days so could be day 59. So ANY DAY NOW would be nice lol.

Nelly scared the hell out of us the other night, we couldn't find her anywhere and here she was hiding... here is where we found her........

Joeysmom · 09-07-2007, 07:17 AM
