Hallelujah!

Fada's temp has finally dropped below 99! Now, it may go right back up by the time I take it this evening, or it may not. It may mean whelping in the next 48 hours, or sooner.

Yes, that is how exact this is. : ) It IS normal for a bitch to have a temp drop before labor, but not all do. My PWD bitches apparently never read "the book." They did not go off their food, their temps didn't drop and they didn't exhibit any odd behavior more than about an hour before labor.

Since this is Fada's first litter, I really have no idea WHAT to expect with her. So stay tuned!

The good news is, Neat finally settled down and slept last night. Not only is it Fada's due date and this would be early for Neat, I would like Neat's to "cook" a while longer, but since Fada IS due, don't want hers getting any larger than they are! SO Fada needs to go first. : )
