Please don't listen to those who tell you is overdo..Normal gestation is 58-68 days..not to worry until day 68+...Her temp has dropped, so there is no need to take it more..
A trick i have used for many years has never failed me.. I offer the mom a delicacy, such as a bit of real meat or chicken..if she accepts it, and would like more, I know I have at least 6 hours to relax..If she refuses it, labor will likely begin within the next 6 hours.

you really dont need to check it anymore just make sure shes comfy and she has privacy away from anyother dogs or kids just check in on her every half hour or so, she should start pushing soon after you see discharge youll know she's pushing if she lifts her head up and kind of stretches her neck out and looks like sheys straining. call the vet as soon as she starts pushing so they will be ready incase there are are any complications. after she starts pushing keep checking for another hour and a puppy should be out by no later than 2 hours after she starts pushing if it takes longer than the puppy might be stuck and you will need proffesional help i hope you know what else to do if the puppy comes and she dosent respond to it if not get all your reasearch now!! if you need anything else just ask congratulations

My God she should have puppies any time. I use to have a siberian husky, I sure miss her to this day, she has been gone for 7 yrs now, I still think of her. You are correct to check her temp. when it goes down you have 24 hrs. Sounds to me she is so ready to deliver. Good luck.
let me know when she has pups bhurditall@yahoo.com

Yes, she is definitely ready. I think you should call the vet because it sounds like she's having problems. She might need a c-section. Actually she's a day or two overdue as the normal gestation period is 60-63 days. Call the vet.

She definitely sounds ready. I would watch her thoughout the night. It could be morning before she has them. Continue to monitor her temp and stay with her and try to keep her calm.
