Dove: Saturday morning update

Noon:........progressing nicely. This time she will complete the assignment!
We hope to have all puppies safe and sound before this day is done.
*********
Morning: Dove is under the spiral steps to the loft. She spent all night there sleeping
peacefully, no stress at all.

Dove started out, shut her eyes and backed in again. Do you think she's practicing tobe the new Ground Hog on Feb 2nd?

You can see where Charlie decided to pull out the threads to the carpet
wrap around the pole. He also chewed on the steps and the gate.
When we are done keeping puppies and training them, we'll correct it all
What's funny is that Dove pulled the threads out of all the throw carpets
on the floors when she was a puppy.
We are watching Dove now for her serious labor to begin. It might seem to you that she is way overdue. We did not witness the first tie and were basing the due date from the first day she and Weylin were in puppy camp. They were there five days in a row. If the tie was at the end of that week, she is right on schedule. If Dove shows any stress or inability to present the litter, she will be rushed to the vet. He's ten minutes away and sticking around this weekend just in case. It's a waiting game for us. Next time I will only post the notice when a Momma is about to deliver. I'm sorry to have made anyone worry. All is good and Dove is still eating and getting all the attention she deserves. Thanks for watching and wishing her well.

That's it Dove, baby! Keep them guessing! Those babies and safe and sound and will come when they are ready. Get some rest.....you and Mary are going to need it. Just don't try to hold off til' Mama Mary's birthday, which is Feb. 8th for anyone who wants to know.
Love you,
