Sooner Rather Than Later

Well it doesn't look like Tiga's puppies are going to stay put until her due date of Monday. I have been taking Tiga's temperature morning and night since Monday. When a dog is getting ready to go into labor you will see a drop in their temperature and then it will start to rise again when they are getting ready to deliver. This morning Tiga's temp was down from around 100 to 98.6 so things are progressing.


The vet is on call and when she starts to show signs of actual labor than we will take her in for a c-section. She did eat breakfast this morning and she is still resting comfortably so for right now we are just waiting.


Notice how the thermometer says Dog. Steve wrote that on there when he realized I was using the household thermometer to take the dog's temp. He was horrified by the idea that someone might mistakenly use it in a human mouth after it had been used on a dog. He has a point.
