Dolly is in the first stage of labour which is a phase very often missed. This is about 24 hours before whelping (giving birth) the bitches temperature will drop from the normal temperature for a dog of around 38.3-39.2o Celcius to as low as 36 Celcius when it bottoms out this low as Dolly's has this morning & with her of her food & as I type this she is vigourisly digging her bed I would hope for birth between 2 to 12 hours. So fingers crossed & hope to have news soon. Thought the photo above was funny with Dolly sitting beside Reggie fast asleep she probably is thinking "if your this tired now what you going to be like as a birthing partner." lol

Its just that very first time, I know how you feel but once you have taken the plunge you will not look back! I'm sure Alfie will be just fine. I can't help but feel really excited for all the people that are hoping to get one of Dolly's pups as it does not seem that long ago that I was waiting with bated breath myself! Hope to hear that you have taken the plunge soon good luck
