Preliminaries....   Message List

Re: [Akita Network] Preliminaries....

She does like her tummy rubbed gently and is quite happy to lay there with
your hand on her so I'll see what I feel tonite.


UHHH that is NOT where the puppies are (or at least not where your most
likely to feel them).
LOL
You will be far more successful at feeling a puppy with her laying on her
side and your hand about midway on her side just in back of her last rib.
Or if when she lays on her side there is a bulge just below the tuck up you
might feel a puppy there. Go ahead and press down with gentle pressure on
her side with a flat palm you won't hurt the puppies.
