Congratulations and Good Luck to Everyone that has an August litter!
This is actually my first post on this board, but I've been a lurker for a bit.
My baby Roxy will be delivering her first litter in August and I have to admit I am scared to death. I didn't plan on breeding her quite yet and unfortunately I was out of town when she was in heat and my son (he's 18) didn't bother to listen to my instructions and keep them separated when they went outside to do their business (Roxy wore a diaper in the house).
I have an appointment to take her into the vet this Thursday to get an xray of her belly to let me know how many puppies she's going to have. She has gotten HUGE and I am scared to death she will go into labor early. She tied with my male Yorkie Axl on June 8, so if my calculations are correct she should be whelping around August 10th. I've already planned vacation around it and have enlisted my son as the "watcher" of momma and pups after they are born. I figured it was the least he could do after not following my instructions.
Anyway, here is a pic of Roxy (momma) and Axl (daddy) and also a shot I took of Roxy last night. I'm anxious to find out how many babies she's going to have, but I'm also SUPER SCARED about the delivery process. I've gained a lot of knowledge here on the boards and I'm hoping that it will help me get thru anything that may come my way during her delivery. |
