HELP!! Pregnant dog acting weird!?!?

[Humphrey]

I came home for the weekend to visit my mother, and she has a mutt named Lady that is about the size of a golden retriver. She is WAY BIG on the verge of bursting with puppies. The last time was her first litter about 18 months ago, she had NINE Puppies [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] She is only about 3 1/2 years old this is her 2nd litter.

Tonight she has taken her Queen size comforter that is usally folded to 1/4 the size and has started to shread the hell out of it, maked a big pile of polyester on the floor and is laying in the middle of it panting up a storm, my mother keeps her house at 70degrees year round, No More, No Less.

Is this the natural instinct of Nesting?

How long away do you estimate these puppies are?

I have a friend that lives on the same street as my mother's house that works at the vet's office but she is at the movies now, and has the Cell Phone off. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Are puppies only moments away?

I am so nervous, and my dog is pissed because he is in the garage.


Please Help with any advice!
