In the mean time enjoy Cosmo as a puppy directly below and Opal below that -

Opal's temperature yesterday was 100.1 and 99.8
This morning it was 99.8
Usually, but now always the female dog's temperature will drop about one degree or more, twenty-four hours before labour begins. I really don't expect the litter until Wednesday at the earliest and possibly as late as Saturday. We will keep everyone posted!
