Pickles on 11/08/09

Friday night (11/06/09) Pickles started shaking for a little while acting like she was cold, but the house was warm and Noodles was fine as well. Poor baby girl you could tell didn't feel well. It didn't last long, maybe 30 minutes or so. She seemed really good on Saturday and actually was rough housing with Noodles. She was chasing him around the house and barking up a storm. Then I think she remembered she was pregnant and was pooped. She climbs up our stairs a lot still, but hates to go down them. She tries though. We actually ended up getting a big laundry basket and taking her down stairs in it to help her out. This morning is another story though. She has been shaking a lot off and on. She won't eat Cheez-its (which she loves) or her TREATS... she will eat some deer jerky though. So I went ahead and cooked her up some sausage to make sure she has enough protein in her before delivery. She just won't eat anything else. She's sleeping a lot more and breathing harder. The puppies are rolling around like crazy. Her little tail is wagging all the time though, which makes me happy knowing she at least feels loved! We don't think she will have them today, but perhaps tomorrow or Tuesday. I sure hope she doesn't have to wait until mid-late week. Until then though, we are ready, the house is ready and cottage cheese is in the fridge just waiting for her!
