Ky’s doing well, she is eating every little morsel in her dish :) She’s being very cuddly, clingy, and LICKY! She wants to lick anything around her - including my notebook and papers while I was studying and she was next to me. Kinda cute, actually.
She is still playful and happy. She must still kinda smell good b/c Tig has tried to “welcome her home” a few times. Think a bath will be in her future this week since I wont have classes ;) Although, when Tig tries, he gets his ears and face snarled at and mouthed at (not really bitten, but a ‘back off’ warning) - by BELLE!! :) Silly girl.
Ive started to put Kys food in the whelping box, she goes right in, no problem so will just keep that up and get it slowly more ready with papers and padding.
Found a really cool website the other day (her breeder sent it to me) : http://www.debbiejensen.com/date.html
You can put in Nov 30 (her first mating) and see whats happening in every stage of her pregnancy. No need to put names of the dogs in. Of course, this outline would be if she “took” on her first breeding, but it gives you an idea of what is happening. Hopefully her blastocytes have implanted on her uterine wall now and will begin to turn into embryos now :)
I measured her waist and rib cage Saturday, will do it weekly… Her rib cage was 22 inches (just behind her front legs/shoulders), and her waist (in front of rear legs) was 19 inches. Once I start to see those values grow, we’ll start taking some guesses on how many we think she has :) Her half sister, Amy, is due pretty much anytime, and shes BIG, should be a nice sized litter.
Made the appointment for her palpation exam—Dec 23rd :) This is just a confirm yes or no, hopefully. Occassionally they can say they feel more than one, but dont tell an accurate number from this usually… Then, closer to her due date, we will get an xray to make sure pups are lining up as they should and confirm the number
