Jonnie's guardians are already missing their girl and she is not even here yet! It happens all the time. It is hard for them when birthing time is coming near. I totally understand which is why I give my guardians much latitude about visiting the new momma and her pups.
I expect Jonnie to be here on Wednesday, January 20th for her maternity stay. On Thursday, January 30th, she will have her x-ray to check on pup sizes and placement. Most of the time, it looks like a plate of spaghetti and meatballs!! :+)
Once back home, I will get Jonnie settled in the whelping pool and coax her to 'visit' it often during the day. During the birth process, most dogs seek a quiet, dark, 'safe' place to have their babies. This is under my desk in the office. There is a half door that prevents any other doodle from accessing the area and Carl and I are in and out multiple times during the day. I am sure Jonnie will be sleeping with me in my bed until the pups arrive as that is what she is use to at home. :+)
Soon, I will be posting pics of the newborns!!
Very exciting! Can't wait to see the newborns.
