Day 55 Pregnant Pearl

        Today is day 55 of Pearl's pregnancy.  Her temp is hovering around 100.2 - things start to happen usually when it drops to below 99/98.  Some nesting behavior cropped up.  This even we went on our usual walk to the field by the house. An easy short walk, a good one for Nash too. OH - and we had some puppy visitors today, they came to see Momma Pearl before she delivers.

A few photos of today.  It is hard to tell how big she really is in the photos.

 I like this photo - you can see her puppy bulge.

 Still hunting chipmunks like crazy!

 Her favorite sleeping position these days.

 Resting her belling on the top step.

 More Chipmunk hunting

 She's so big she doesn't really fit on the front seat of the car anymore.

 Nash walking in the field.
