x-rays today
 

Had x-rays done today on Ahia. I saw 4 little heads and spines. I am feeling a bit better now. still scared but excited along with it.

How exciting! Best of luck with the new babies, when are they due?

That is exciting. Good luck with the babies.

So exciting!!!!
Can't wait to see them.
Due Date???
:)

Aww How exciting. Did they say how many?

thanks , yes 4 of them. and due on the 27th. i think there are quite a few of us due around the same time. At first i was really agrivated at my self for a 15 min chat with the neighbor with only one dog protected. ( he wiggled her out of her undies). then i was scared and now i am scared & excited. whats the next step? sleep deprived?

ooh i forgot to ask for name suggestions again.
I have so far some good ones including :(all Ohio State themed)
oessue
blocko
tidi
rosebee
these so far are my favorites. many others too. I am still looking for one that will hit me in the face and say "here i am and my name is:..."

You sound like me with names. When I got Sabrina I had 20 names picked out and the first week, I'd try 3 names on her and finally, day 4 she pricked her ears when I said "Sabrina". I tried the others - no reaction - so she was "Sabrina". You have a good start!

CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait for them to be born...I love new puppies!

It is so exciting to see those little bones in Xray. Do you have your mentor standing by? If you bred the girl more than once maybe counting the days 58 days from the first mating til 64 from the last. I have so many questions but basically, I want to just say that once you get EVERYTHING you might need, your nerves will settle down a TEENSY-WEENSY bit..

you are so right whispersmom2, after the x-rays I did somewhat relax. at least I have an idea when she is finished. I have no mentor. I don't know any breeders around here. I sure would love to experience a birthing before I am left alone with this one. I am learning so much about the process. I run it over and over in my mind hoping I am well prepared for the big event. I have downloaded charts of all sorts. To keep track of her temperature, Puppy birth charts,etc. I have a neighbor who is willling to help me out but she has never done this before either. Even my mail carrier said she would come and help me if need be and even gave me her home phone #. I told her not to offer if she doesn't mean it because I may be calling her. LOL
I found a new vet because my old one didn't have the equipment for x-rays and then the experience we went thru with having Buckeye's teeth cleaned was enough to force me to be on the lookout for a new one. I found a lovely vet. she was so nice and I told her I was interviewing them for a replacment vet possition. LOL. I feel like I am being too picky but I feel the vet should be trying to help me instead of just making me feel like I am just their meal ticket.
