Getting Ready




  Lauren has decided to have puppies sooner rather than later.  The puppies dropped yesterday, she picked at her meals and today won't eat at all.  I came home for lunch from work to check on Lauren and decided that it would be best for me to stay with her.  Her temperature has dropped and she was a bit apprehensive.  After sitting with Lauren for awhile, she settled into her whelping box and started sleeping hard for the job ahead.
A couple of hours later, Lauren acts like things are getting ready to get going.  Her panting has increased, she gets restless and can't get comfortable.  She's ripped up her newspapers and shoved them around her box.  I've seen a couple of ripples as the puppies move about and she glares at her stomach--not her usual sweet expression!
