Temps Again

At 445pm 98.9

At 216pm 98.9 - slowly going down.

At 1030am the temps are slowly going down to 99. Will take and post at the top of this blog when I do the next. She is such a good natured dog awith all this stick me in the....

This was at 730am. The temps are still 99.5. Really interrupted sleep. Have 3 pups to wash, do Daisy, clean. Oh my.

All I can say is the vet is wrong so far and the longer she waits, the closer to when Tempie has hers.

Above is a comfie face cloth I made for the scale so the pups are laid in comfort. I made 2 when I made the blankets for teh pups departing.

Stay tuned. Off to clean.

Temps

Still high 830pm om Jan 6th

Still high - 99.4 at 730am

We will continue to check. I am very tired as I let the vet - take her temp often - anytime but by tomorrow night infiltrate my brain so I slept off and on with the light on. She's not eating but that is sort of usual for her. Only time I indulge her is during pregnancy and having pups. Today I put a duck treat in front of her and she is laying on it now. She always eats the duck treats. So, I will shower this morning, get the 3 pups washed with photos. I got most of the 1st 3 bags done. I still need the food. The whelping box is ready. camera and heater is attached. Whelping box was sterilized. Leo is done. I need to finish Barney - he is half done. I am juggling and tired.

Bonham's mom is golden. She is bringing me an ice cap with whip cream.

Spirit is in a bed inside of a table. I may have to put a door on it so she can't hide that way. can't see if pups are coming.

Xrays

Click on Photo for Larger View

We only have 2 pups if good size. Get this, the vet thinks ANYTIME but she feels strongly by tomorrow night and told me I have to start taking temps now.

We are not set up. I am overloaded doing groomings etc and pups need to be washed to depart starting tomorrow, I am losing my mind and who will have time to cook and eat and sleep?

Think I am going to have to learn about food delivery services. YIKES!

100.1 so unless it changes before bedtime I am safe. Still need to do blogs, finish bags - yes there I go again - oh my god.

It is 10:04 and I am going to bed. Temps are still at 100. Whelping box is setup no xpen and if she feels comfie - no dogs allowed, that is how it will remain till pups depart, Hoping we sleep till morn. Tonight was crazy!
