Neurotic? Moi?
So I had a few minutes of mild panic this morning, thinking Nina’s temperature had dropped (they usually have a significant drop in body temperature within 24 hours of labor)…but as it turned out, I was taking poop temperature instead of Nina temperature, since I assumed she’d pooped, and in fact she hadn’t!
There is one towel in the whelping box which is apparently sub par. Right now the whelping box is full of towels for her to nest and dig around in. But there is one towel which is exiled from the box every morning. The first couple of times I assumed she’d just been enthusiastic with her digging, but no….the other morning this towel was dragged all the way into the bathroom, it is a bad and evil towel. They were all laundered together, and it is exactly the same make as most of the others, but…what do I know?
She is surprisingly still eating quite well, we need to doctor it up with canned food or scrambled eggs or baby food, but she is still eating. She is large, and the puppies are moving around, this morning you could SEE them moving, like little chestbursters…just a few days to go now!
