Yes, that is what I said.... Ice cream !!! Why might you ask? According to one of our favorite whelping books there are three thing to remember when you female is in labor -they are called the Three Musketeers - Glucose, Calcium and Oxytocin. The Glucose give energy, Calcium releases calcium from the cells and helps with whelping and oxytocin helps with contractions.
The reason that I mention this is because its 10am here in Nashville and Lindy has officially had 2bowls of, you guessed it, Ice Cream. Then you ask what does that mean?? We are watching her pace, pant, stand up and try and get comfortable, just to decide that that isn't the place that she wants to have her little ones!
We will let you all know when we have puppies born, and depending on how hectic it all is, we may even post a whelping video!
