Laptop problem is solved for now, so can email, send and receive again!!! a little slower then usual, but hey, I had to do 23 updates, no notice received, so how was I supposed to know, whatever!!!!
Eli is doing fine, eating, resting and taking walks with the pack!!
Whelping box is set up, heating lamp is hanging, towels, vetbeds, newspaper,cords in all colours, charts and thermometer is ready to start taking temps on Wednesday, if it drops one degree we will know to expect delivery within about 24 hours.
It worked the former two nests perfectly so we will see.
Added another lying down picture, nothing exciting right now, but soon I hope.....
Well, no more walking off leash as of today and running through woods and stuff like that. She is still walking good, but you can see that she is getting heavier and heavier!!!
Unfortunately my laptop is crashing, no incoming email!! I can still go through the providers website but it will make it harder to download pictures.
The son will be able to fix it ( he is an IT'er, but of course he has a business trip this week, so will have to wait till next weekend).
Today is set up day of whelping box etc. with help of son in law and daughter and then the rest of the days, she will take walks and rests and let the siblings work !!
As soon as things are happening ,I will update.

Passed by the vet today and had a weigh-in. She has gained 4.2 kilo, so that is good and we did an ultrasound for fun and saw heart beats and backbones and ribs and one puppy was swallowing, so really cool!!!
All looked and felt good and he thought she looked great, shiny and curly and pregnant!!!!
Today is around day 40, so we are getting 3 meals a day with yogurt and honey and some kibbles at noon.
Next week we will add a late evening snack of some extra food, as she is really starting to get hungry for food now and need the extra and with pups being in the way, I can't just give her bigger meals.
She is also starting to look bigger, especially as she is always laying on her back with paws in the air and then you can really feel the tightness of her stomach>
She is still very eager to work and I let her, but as of a few days ago, I don't let her jump ditches anymore or go into the water.
But nice straight lines and a search is still going well.>
