Today.

Claire had periods of panting overnight — things are happening.

We head to the vet clinic this morning for a blood draw to ensure her progesterone is low enough for the safe arrival of the puppies. Claire has gained almost 12 inches — and that is with me having to beg her to eat…

Thanks to Alison for sharing her Berner Brownie recipe:
