After reading everyone's story I figured I could handle the harsh comments and benefit from the support.
I have a long history and you can search my post to find out all about it. But, needless to say I was an idiot and didn't know my girl was pregnant. Didn't know they could get to each other through a crate
Anyway... we had a sucess story in the end and kept the one pup.
Now a year and half later several family members love our dogs and really wanted pups. My husband and I talked about it. We loved the experience so much (even if it was thrown at us) and were willing to do it again if we could stay close with their forever homes. One family who is taking two pups is my sister in law... then my Aunt is taking another and if there is a fourth (which the vet said she thought there was... it is going to my parents). So, we are not in it for the money... everybody has a good home to go to. We really love the whole process.
Since, the first litter I have read a ton, watched videos and have printed out about every thread on this site and read it over and over. Thanks to everyones imput I have everything I need and my baby Lilly is getting everything she needs.
Again, I was nervous because I have been around here long enough to know there are some very strong opinions ( which I completely understand) But, I really would like to involve everyone because I enjoy so much reading other peoples stories.
So, here is a picture of my prego Lilly. The vet said according to her x-ray that she is due between April 7-12. We weren't entirely sure what tie worked. But, I am taking her temp once in the morning and once before dinner to make sure. Vet said to bring her back in by the 12th if she hasn't had them yet and he would take another look.
The other picture is of the whelping box my husband made. After reading many posts I wanted one with an open bottom so that I could tuck the towels underneath and prevent the puppies from being burried. I think he did a great job and Lilly really likes to sleep in it. It is right next to my bed in a quite and dark corner of the house.
Now we just have to sit and wait with the rest of you = )
