Nearly time

Blottie is nearly time and taking her temperature regularly throughout each day, we are waiting for that drop in temperature, that lasts only for a couple hours, caused by the sudden drop in progesterone levels which is the body starting the process to onset the start of labour. If you catch this temperature drop, the onset of labour is 12 to 24 hours away.
​You can miss this drop, so we are now (as so close) on around the clock observation, as her behaviour has changed in the last couple days, bedding up and very picky about her food, although she seems to always find room for scrambled eggs. I'm now sleeping nights on a sofa beside the whelping box. Pups are moving loads. Not long now and fingers tightly crossed!

I hope all goes well, Blottie is so lucky to have such attentive care!

Rory must take after his mum with his love of scrambled eggs, if I ever have it for lunch, I make him a little portion too!

Laika is another lover of scrambled eggs! She was spayed on Monday and I've been giving her scrambled eggs for breakfast, with the painkiller mixed in, to ensure she eats it. She always does!

Thinking of you and Blottie as you navigate these uncomfortable last few days (and nights) of her pregnancy together, and wishing her an easy and safe delivery.

    Welcome to this blog. I am Jane, a hobby breeder, situated in North Devon, England, UK (map at bottom of page ,shows where we are) on a quest to breed a healthier small spaniel similar to the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. 
    If you are reading this, you have most probably come from my main website The POUNDLANE spaniel ​
    Problems with putting anymore blogs on that website, I have now started this blog from 2020.
