boxer puppies on the way!!

Question
Dear Nancy,

Dazy is like my child, I really worry about her. I called vet already several times past week.  She probably thinks I am a drama queen.  Then because I constantly worry, I had to write to someone else. It is our first pregnancy, and I am very nervous about everything.  Talk has always been very helpful for me in dealing with my nervousness.  

I want her to have pups as soon as possible because every time I leave house I worry.  Yet, I just do not think she is ready.  She sleeps all the time.  She has a good appetite.  She just got her milk few days ago. And just today her pups started to move visibly.  

At first, I thought that she has false pregnancy because I never saw my dogs mate. I know for sure that they never tied.  It is surprise for me that she is actually pregnant.  In fact, 4 weeks ago my vet told me that she was only 80% sure that she was pregnant.   

But I will call my vet tomorrow again and see what she got to say about our situation.  I hope she won't ask me to find another vet (just kidding).  I've decided that it is our first and the LAST pregnancy. The pregnancy is very stressful and nerve wrecking.

Again Thank you for your concern,

Olesya

Answer
Olesya,
now that you told me the breeding dates, I think everything is fine.  The puppies moving is a sign they are getting ready to move OUT!  they are also in a hurry.  Hang in there, everything seems to be fine.  I counted the days and I think like your vet that Tues/WEd will be the day.

ps when I have a pregnant bitch, I am the same way driving the vet crazy and I have done this  for 40 years.
