She hasn't blown up into little kitty pieces yet. She comes out when no
one is in the room, and will even come out when one of us is in the room,
so long as we are quiet.

She is currently sleeping underneath Mandy's bed.

Pam S. pacing back and forth

I have a friend called June. She is a very experienced breeder of dogs,
cats and horses. She can easily handle big stallions to mate a mare. She
can deliver almost everything that is misplaced in the womb, unless worst
scenario, when she gets the vet.
I was panicking because one of my whippet bitches was overdue with her
puppies. I knew this, because I knew the exact date she'd been mated, and
you don't with Sonya, Pam.
I phoned her, to say Susan hadn't had her puppies and showed no signs.
She said "Those puppies will come exactly when they want to, so relax." I
found it very difficult to take her advice. I paced around, and then I took
her to the vet who said if they don't arrive in a couple of days get back to
us.
They came two days later, 6, mother and pups all well. Susan bit June on
the face when she thought she was picking up one of her newborns - grateful
for the help when June came to see if there were any more left inside!
Susan would never have done this normally, bitches go a bit crazy when they
have new puppies.
June had to judge a whippet show the next day, with a black eye. It was
commented on. "How did you get that?" "I got bitten" "Surely not by a
whippet?" "Yes, a whippet that was giving birth and protecting her newborn
puppies."
"Oh, fair enough"

Mega purrs for Sonya to have an easy birth.
Go to bed, Pam. If you are worried she might have a difficult time, set
your alarm every 3 hours or so in the night.
If not, stop pacing around and go to sleep ;-)
