Hmmmm...mmm....mmm.m.m.m.m......
7 am temp: 98.7
I've never had a girl's temperature go that low without it even going lower and whelping beginning. I REALLY REALLY don't think Raven will have these puppies until next week.
BUT. It is within the realm of possibility for it to be sooner. Today is only 53 days after the last breeding, but it is 59 days after the first breeding. Her mother had her puppies at 60 days after the first breeding.
We bought the piece of vinyl flooring to go under the whelping box yesterday. The plan was to build the whelping box and have it all set up by the weekend. I think I will make sure it is set up TODAY. Like as soon as I can get my husband to bring the pieces up from the basement.....
Just in case.
