her temperature is holding 97-98 degrees since noon yesterday, girth is 26 1/2" dropped a few days ago from 27 1/2". Puppies can be seen easily when they bump and roll, they are full term puppies now. Hilde slept restlessly, this morning she's bouncing around in good spirits, laying on her backplaying with everyone like a cat, guess her back itches. Not hungry she had about three bites of OC Raw Dog food and walked away. Grace was delighted to help her finish it off). She wonders the yard I have to entice her to lay down and relax.
why does the dam not eat the day of or a day earlier? one, she's huge, eating seems a little too filling, two, mother nature says not to have food on her tummy when she's about to go into labor so when her puppies are whelping and she's nursing her babies she doesn't have to leave them to go relieve herself. It's common for the dam to throw up to empty to tummy (and it's a bit upsetting to her system) to get ready for delivery.
here we go, she's panting and shaking....
see puppies soon
