The countdown begins... Promise is due this week with her puppies.

Here are some pictures of Promise getting prepared to have her puppies. She has had a bath, blow-dry and hair cut. Her nails are clipped and her bottom has been washed and shaved. We have prepared her whelping box and updated our supply kit... we are ready! Promise has to have her temperature taken twice a day, as we're trying to catch a drop to 98 degrees. Once her temp drops, she should have her puppies in 24-48 hours. Meanwhile she is my constant companion, following me from room to room and snuggling in for some pets whenever I'm available.
