Actually.....as a registered nurse who worked in labor and delivery for 20 years....I don't have to phone either a breeder or a pet owner to know how to figure a due date, or "hold together a dog" on the way to the vet. I pretty much have a handle on the reproduction system and first aid. Funny how well those human reproduction skills translate to canine skills. Myra Savant
