Well, here we are on day 56...Cloes milk has come in as of yesterday. This usually occurs a week prior to whelping her puppies...Went through all my supplies getting the whelping area ready. Need a few last minute things, so will make a final run into town today then home bound for me till after she has them...She has usually gone on day 61, so we are very close...She can actually go safely anytime after day 58. So been keeping a close eye on her potty breaks. Watching for her to start loosing her mucus plug...No signs as of yet on that one, but keep watching the updates! :)

With just about a week left till we have babies, Cloe has had her bath, nails trimmed and her chewbacca feet trimmed...I'm going around picking up clumps of belly fur that she is shedding in preparation for nursing them...Taking temps twice a day now and staying close to home waiting for signs of labor...:) Cloe still nesting...resting more and moving a lot slower as she is getting bigger and bigger this last week...I was listening to the puppies little heart beats with my stethoscope and feeling them moving all around...Started taking Cloes temp and she is now on her last full week...So I'm sticking close to home 8 more days till D-day so I'm getting all my supplies ready for her whelping... Emma is still too early to tell if she is pregnant yet but watching for signs with her...Still wont know for another couple of weeks... Update on Cloe, she has been digging frequently in her whelping box, and going potty a lot more, I go in there and she looks up at me, so I tell her, "show me your babies" and she'll roll over to show me her belly! too cute...I've been taking her with me to pick up my son in the afternoons so she has a little time out and about...I dont want her overdoing it, so a short car ride makes her day...Will start taking her temps this weekend and the countdown will be on! stay tuned for details... And for ANY POTENTIAL parents, if you are interested you really need to get on a list as soon as you can... Well Cloe has been spending time in Emma's crate to get away from the hustle and business of the everyday living...She is in the nesting stages and last night our son said that she was digging in the crate! I said well, there isnt much room to nest in there! So had my hubby put her whelping box back up and there she has been ever since! :) she is a happy camper now...Wont be long...about two more weeks... |
