New Year's puppies?

[Ginny Nightingale]

Lyric has started her long process towards becoming a mommy. She won't eat today and her temp has dropped a bit over 1 degree. She is resting comfortably and panting  heavily--no signs of big contractions yet. We had her in her whelping box in a room that is warmed by a space heater to 75 degrees, but she hated the heat, so I let her go into a cool corner again for now. She can stay cool until the pups start coming, then it's into the box!

This is certainly a unique way to spend New Year's eve! My breeder is coming to help me after her evening parties, so I expect her at about 1 am--she will stay the night. Luckily, I have two beds in the room with Lyric, so we can doze while keeping an eye on things.

 I am hoping the pups are born tomorrow--it will be 1/1/11! That is a cooool birthday!

Check back tomorrow--I will post pics if the pups are actually born--cross your fingers!

How exciting. I'll be checking in first thing in the morning to see how Lyric and you are doing!

That would be a way awesome birthday! It's getting so close now... how exciting!

Keeping our fingers crossed that the pups come on 1.1.11.  Our New Year's baby turns 21 tomorrow and she would be excited to share her b'day with Lyric's pups.

1/1/11 would be perfect! Good luck!
