Olive: Pup Update 4/10

[Pearce Pastures]

Olive made and remade her nest today. The hay was everywhere, completely pulled out and rearranged what clearly must be the right way--I guess I did it wrong . She had it stacked high diagonally across the center of the box and then made two whorls on either side of the center. She was must have been busy and is completely crashed out napping alongside it right now.

This is too exciting!

How long until she is expecting?

Next week between Wednesday and Sunday, we should have pups unless-- I made a mistake but she is sure acting like and looking like we are right on schedule.

Yes, there needed to be that much popcorn! I can't wait to see pictures and hear about how these pups are doing. I just love puppy threads here! Best wishes and prayers for all of them to be healthy and strong! Good luck Olive!

Just so you know...we humans ALWAYS make the nest wrong.

Temp has dropped from 100.3 to 99.4.
Teats and breasts are full.
Olive put herself in the nursery today and won't leave and keeps digging nests.

Could be wrong, but she may be getting close to labor.

I added bedding, covered the windows to give her privacy, turned of barn lights to shush up the poultry, and got her nice and cozy in the pen. Baby monitor is on and I don't know how I am going to rest. Probably should just go sleep with her. She really wanted DH to lay with her.

So exciting! Hoping for an uncomplicated, safe delivery of ten pups! (that's my guess...)
