GOTCHA! Hey after I asked that question, I checked the phases of the moon, and we are actually going into a new moon, it will be full blown on the 22nd.. so if you believe in that "stuff"...we may be having puppy fest on here by the 23rd..LOL I had a girl go VERY early from a really bad thunder storm, the babies were about 4-5 days preemie, and had to be held on a nipple every 2 hours for the first 5 days, it was terrible, but thankfully they made it and are doing great. We're having storms again today, so hoping we don't have a repeat performance coming on.
Julz - how big is your girl pre-pregnancy? And how much weight has she gained?
My girl looks like her belly is about the same size, she was 5 lbs 3 ounces pre-preggo, and is now 6 lbs 8 ounces.. so thinking WOW bless her heart.
I have to say I'm jealous of these dogs quick gestation, I am currently 84 days away from whelping my own little litter of one, and I wish it would hurry and be OVER!! LOL

Peccata, my girl (and my Mom's 3) all turn into little Vipers and won't let ANY other dog near their puppies. Don't let any animals near so as not to stress out Libby. As mentioned, some animals (espeically raccoons) will kill their young to "protect" them from other animals harming them.
I took another picture of Tiah today....she looks like "Look Mamma, I'm gonna have babies"....she is bigger than she looks in the photos. It is so hard to get good pictures of her....as soon as she sees the camera, she puts her ears down. I've even tried waiting it out....she's pretty stubborn. As soon as I take the camera away, she's back to her happy self. |
