Preparations under way

 37 Day Pregnant
Pearly's little biscuits baking nicely.


My whelping list keeps getting longer and longer!  Each week I check an item or two off.  Today it was  Milk replacement, bottle feeding kit, canine thermometer, and cottage cheese (for Pearl).  Last week it was digital scale (postal scale measure up to 10 pounds),  Finished cleaning (birthing room - the porch bedroom).   Prior to that it was washing Whelping pool, and exercise pens with Clorox (when the weather was warm).  there is a continued effort to wash and clorox towels, sheets, washcloths.  Oh, and,made business cards, explored pet insurance information for puppy owners.

Next on list:  heater and heat lamp (last one died).  ribbons (after I know the count), Clean extra bedroom - for guests, and tree room (monumental task), organize current whelping kit - dental floss, scissors, note pad, pen, ky jelly, iodine, read, re-read, and re-read whelping bible, cotton balls, fold all the laundry I washed, and set up whelping pool around the 23rd. Gather phone numbers for the vet, find out who is on call.   OH Forgot - purchase CD player.  Last but not least - buy Breyer's vanilla ice cream - 2 -3 gallons for everyone in the house.  Certainly there is more...
