Another task complete! Yay, the whelping room is officially ready for what's to come. Whelping kit; check! Whelping pool; check! A couple sets of clean bedding; check! Identification collars and notebook; check, check! Camera with extra batteries; check! Emergency numbers close at hand; check!..... hopefully I wont need those. Removal of my own still decent bedding, replaced with that which has always been damaged; check! Learned a hard lesson on that one already! Next week will bring some last minute preparations. Still have to stock up on snacks! Snacks for my girl and snacks for me! Experience has taught me you can never have too many snacks when it comes to whelpin' pups.... it can be a long process! There is no such thing as being over prepared! But I'm ready! Getting excited... but as always, a little nervous! Majestic has shown me absolutely no evidence that she has a clue as to what's about to happen. At least she was willing to get in the whelping pool for a quick photo. That's a good start. Will be keeping a close eye on her as her time draws near and hopefully I'll see some nesting behavior kick in in the next few days! My fingers are crossed that Lex has been having some secret girl to girl chats with her and things will come as natural to Majestic as they always have to Lexi.
