Sometimes the worse part about having puppies is waiting for the day when the bitch starts to show signs of an imminent whelp. Any little sign makes you think "Today is the day!" It has to be even worse when she doesn't live with you. Now I am waiting for the call to tell me they think she is in labor. So any call might be the one!
I have very little work in the lab so these next couple of days would be great timing, but of course I am not in control of when this may be. Sigh.....
Although I am always glad to get that first one out. That is usually the toughest. After that then it is just a matter of waiting for them to arrive one by one. Tending to each one and finally after the last one has been dried, they are all nursing and getting TLC from their mom you can breathe a sigh of relief.
But when that time will be? Who knows?
