PJ and Merry are both pregnant for sure. While I was pretty sure — I have been tricked before but the sonogram today confirmed it. Each are carrying 6 to 9 as best as the vet could see. The bigger the litter, the more difficult it is to get an accurate reading because the embryos start hiding each other. It take them for the sonogram to see if the are pregnant to begin with and if they are having a teeny litter or bigger. Once, the vet only saw one so the whole time the momma was gestating, I rubbed her belly for the little black girl that I wanted from that breeding but turns out she had two in there and the second born was my little girl — my Merry!!! So, I get the sonogram to confirm pregnancy mostly. I was quite ecstatic upon seeing all the little babies in both of them. I am kind of on puppy withdrawal not having had a litter in awhile. Everyone is saying wow you’ll have your hands full– well, that’s the way I like it and it is fairly short lived anyway. I may have to resort to some tagging system this time if they are all black though!!!!

Hi Lynne — I too am very excited — I love this stuff — love the little babies and watching them grown with their mommas!!!!!! This is doubly exciting too. Merry and PJ are both showing now. The rest of the time will fly by especially with the holidays. But I don’t mind and have done this before both having two litters back-to-back and puppies are Christmas — more than a couple times, in fact that is how Merry got her name, CH Luminary Merry Christmas as she was born the day after.

Let me know the timing of delivery (to me I mean) I had to and have to back in for another surgery. That SHOULD be it though.
Christmas would be the end of February for going home, no?
Thanks.
