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!

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!
