Last Night and Today

Here is a video of her nesting at 835am
Poor thing is shivering up a storm and doesn't want to lay long in my lap.

We had a long last night. She is indeed shivering. Emptying her bowels. Today more. I am not taking her temps though as it is now uncomfortable. You can feel the pups have moved into position. As we can't know what time she will have pups, I will be sending pups home, watching her on camera and being completely exhausted and Nathan just mentioned he was up half the night in anticipation. I stayed downstairs so that wouldn't happen. All I can do is shake my head. Who is more tired? I am not up for that one. If he had stayed up with her all night, I would have slept and waited for the call. So, when will she have the pups? Today. When will I get 2 dogs washed to go home? Today. When will I sleep? I haven't a clue but I know I need a cold shower to wake up after breakfast when someone can watch Spirit and a nap - I suppose Nathan will need one first. Gad help me.

Yeah I am in that type of a mood. Did watch Matrix. Just as cool as it was when it debut. Haven't seen that in a long time and we went from the recliner to the couch back and forth as she was very restless. 

I just finished washing her bum as she is still at that stage. Wouldn't it be nice if she had pups before the send offs. 

At 810am she is sleeping. Just clicked the above photo. I want to sleep too.

Oh my goodness! I had a feeling this would happen.
Chicken soup and fresh bread coming later today so you can at least get some food in all your tummies.

Dorothy: Nice of you but our schedule today is such as it is that I doubt I will eat. I need sleep and you can't give me that. I need recovery before Tempie.Tempie has xrays on the 11th.

Oh my goodness. It has to be so difficult to see poor little Spirit shivering and clearly so uncomfortable. It takes a lot of strength to do what you do! I truly marvel at that.
