Thank you for submitting your question regarding Harley. Yes, she is likely preparing for the arrival of her puppies. The behavior changes you have described are common prior to going into labor. If you have not done so already, she should see her veterinarian. X-rays are taken of the belly to give you a puppy count. This can help during delivery to know if she is has delivered all the pups or not. I hope this information helps!
