Update

Gracie is very uncomfortable, paces and walks around

barely eating in the mornings, evenings she makes up for it

girth between 29-30"

only temp drop so far was yesterday 98.6 degrees

today, three readings of 99.7

she wants to be in her x-large crate to be left alone

or she's in staring eye distance

she's growling at any of the poodles that get too close

including Everad!  that's weird, Hilde yes, but her Everad?

we thought she was going into labor last night

got up and let her potty about 3am

I hid behind the blind see what she was doing,

when she pooped she jumped around and looked at it

she thought it was a puppy

... anytime

her timeline fooled me their first litter

She convinced me she might have them early then went seven days past her due date.  I'm anticipating this is a tough 9th week for Momma Grace.  Puppies are gaining weight which is what they need to do.  We can see them rolling around,  starting to go higher and heading towards the birth canal.  No body there yet.

the official due date is the 10th

Best thing is to wait and keep a good watch on her

give her the time to have great puppies.

Grace knows when the puppies are perfectly ready

 I was singer to her yesterday ... "have a little faith in me"

Gracie knows what she's doing

as always, keeping a watch on her and keeping the people calm

temp went back down to 98.6 degrees
Girth is 30"
she's resting quietly
