We're still within the normal dates for whelping...I'm giving her a little slack because the first tie between her and Bo was rather short and probably didn't take. So, we'll assume she's more like 64 days...
Whatever the case, she's still pregnant!
BUT- I will say that we're making progress:
- She was quite restless all night (I'm on the 2nd pot of coffee...) and this morning she's already had 3 BM's and she's straining long after, which means she's feeling pressure from the pups.
- Her temp this morning was 98.6...that's what I've been looking for all along.
- She's finally nesting. She's pawing at her blankets and even using her mouth to form this perfect circle and then she curls up in it.
So, I'm not going to interject my opinion or forecast ANYTHING. I'm just giving the facts! lol
My kids are going to go spend the day with Grandma because they're getting stir crazy and I'm instituting a quiet zone in the house. I'm just peeking in on Rosie and I've determined that I'm going to stop staring at her. She might be one of those girls that needs her privacy in order for labor to really start. Maggie wasn't like this at all...she loved the attention and was very demonstrative about her labor symptoms.
Let's not forget about Maggie! She's on Day 60 and she looks great! She actually looks like she's had a litter and is nursing them. Her tummy is just not that big. I don't really have much more to say about her, other than she's eating a little less and she has let go of some mucus. But that's all normal for being a few days away from her due date.
Well, everyone have a great day and thanks for sticking it out with me on this Labradoodle Whelping Rollercoaster...
Stay tuned!
:)
