Tara's in labor! No puppies yet but she's panting and we're waiting and watching! I'll keep you posted!
So Tim says this morning, "today is d-day!" I'm like huh. It's true, I feel it's been d-day forever! I've never stared at a dog so much in my life. I was sitting here today looking at Tara thinking, is she breathing hard? Does she look like she has more milk? Of course I'm not even sure what normal breathing looks like at this point! Tara stares back at me, I'm sure she's thinking I'm off my rocker and wants to bark, "Stop staring at me!". She is acting uncomfortable tonight. Getting up and down, up and down and I've seen her stretching a little more. We'll see.
No matter what time she goes into labor I will post it here! Keep checking, they have to come out eventually!

We had our first baby goats this fall! They are the cutest things. Stella stayed out in the kidding stall w/me till after midnight. This momma goat isn't too friendly so I wouldn't let Stella in as soon as they were born even though she really pouted. I finally did and the pics weren't great but Stella licked them off and then she was satisfied! lol
There we are, watching and waiting! It was not so warm either. Excuse the PJ's, it was late!
One Boy and One Girl. The black one (one standing) is the boy and the tan one is the girl.
Stella got her chance to check them out and even though the momma isn't that friendly she didn't mind Stella cleaning her babies at all.
All dried off. I just love how they bounce around all over the place!
Here's some pics of Tim building the Whelping box today. I think we did a pretty good job for our first one! We made it 4' x 5'. The countdown is on! Also an updated pic of the preggo Tara! She's looking pretty thick now. I'll be posting just as soon as anything starts happening!!
