I am wondering what is the best way to reheat last night's leftover pizza so that the crust does not get crispy or hardI tried microwaving it, as well as putting it in the oven, but the crust ends up hard or toughAre there any secrets to reheating cold pizza?
If you are deciding to take her temp as an indicator make sure you do it on a routineFor example 7:00 AM, 2:00 PM and 7:00 PMMake sure you record it on paper because you will never rememberFor it to be accurate it has to be the same time everydayIf you do it randomly there is no value in it because a dogs normal body temp will rise and fall with rest, exercise and eatingThe temp outside should have nothing to do with itA sure sign that uterine contractions have begun is the presence of green vaginal dischargeThis is a result of early uterine placental detachmentIt can be seen several hours before she produces her first pupMost of the time they will stop eating as wellShe will start nesting and possibly may be acting strange.
When dogs go into labor they generally 'nest'My suggestion is to make her a little nest/pin with towels inside and keep a fan on her if it is too hot in your homeJust make sure the fan is at a safe distance so it can't hurt her or the puppies of course.
Envelop it in a loose sheath of aluminum foil for the first few minutes in the oven (use about 375 degrees), then remove the foil for the last 2-3 minutes to re-crisp the crustThe hardness is caused by the crust drying out in the fridge, when stored in the original boxTo prevent that, place 1-2 slices at a time in large ziplock bags and refrigerate.
