| We are expecting a litter of Australian Shepherds on Aug. 20th. Our Yorkie, Tatum, is spayed but I always read the breeder section just out of curiosity and have learned quite a bit. A 30 lb dog giving birth is quite different from a little Yorkie but I've still picked up some valuable information here. Good luck to all the expectant mommies!

| 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. |

| I am also expecting an August litter, and I also have a Roxy. But I spell it Roxie. I've been a long-time lurker but I just decided to sign up and jump right in, hope that's ok. I feel like I know some of you already. Roxie is due somewhere in the vicinity of August 18th. Hers was also an accidental breeding . I went out of state to visit my family and my friend 'kindly' offered to watch her for me. Big yard, fenced, other dogs to play with, etc etc. Sounds good, right? Wrong! I was informed later by my friend that she witnessed multiple ties between her little yorkie male and my Roxie!!! Then she had the nerve to ask me for a stud fee. Of course I refused and told her the only fee she'll be getting is a bill from my vet for Roxie's prenatal care. I suppose she thought she was doing me a favor..?! Anyway, she is estimated to be due around the 18th but there is no way for me to be sure, since I was away for nearly three weeks. I'm just guessing with the dates that the ties were witnessed. She definitely has a swelly belly that becomes a lot more pronounced after she eats or drinks. Is this normal? Or should her belly stay the same size all the time? She also has a bit of discharge. I'm just a worried mama because this is Roxie's (and my) first litter and I have obviously had minimal time to prepare myself. I do plan on getting an x-ray soon to check the number of pups, and the size of her pelvic region. |

| Thank you luckylady I've definitely been reading and researching all that I can. I must have read debbiejensen's site a hundred times now, lol. It's bookmarked! I am taking her in for an xray around August 10th. 8 days before she's due. But she might be due a couple of days earlier too. I'm just hoping for the best. We should all post pictures of our girls' bellies to see how they compare, just for fun. I'm thinking Roxie might only have 1 or 2 in there. |

| Oh I'm not doing the ultrasound, just the xray. But I will definitely post pics when I get it done. I'm trying to take a belly pic right now, but Roxie isn't loving being manhandled, lol. She's not much of a belly-up girl. Hopefully I'll have a good one posted in a few minutes! |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | It seems I've seen that message before, but I don't know why. Are you sure you're doing it correctly? If the picture is to big it won't take. Can you resize it and make it smaller, then try again?
