T-11 Days...

So...Surprise! We were just kidding.....not really--but .....

Liddy is pregnant!!!

We found one puppy at the ultrasound for sure yesterday. I saw faint shadows of maybe two more, but Liddy wouldn't hold still so for now- we just know she IS pregnant.

We only have 11 days.

Wow...

She has gained 11 pounds since her first ultrasound and her mammarys are already swelling-- a great sign since her milk came in 3 days after her last puppies were born via C-section.

So we've got her crate built- I'm making last minute arrangements between the garage and her puppy crate and the doggy door so she has access to the outside. I'm getting the heat lamp secured to the wall and getting Sophie's separate/temporary home ready so Liddy can have her space when the time comes.

So there's lots I have to do to keep me busy over the next few days...

I'm so excited- you would think I was the one having the baby, lol.

I know this will be fun!



Home From Vacation...

So I know we've been through this- but I swear Liddy is pregnant. Justin and I went on a week long vacationt to Florida and when we got home yesterday and I saw Liddy, I just about took her straight to the vet. It was 8:30 at night so we're going to have to wait til 3:30 today for another ultrasound, but I just can't believe there's nothing in there. My parents took care of her and Sophie for us while we were gone and I swear Sophie has grown too, but not like Liddy. Her weight has dropped around her belly and she's starting to swell around her nipples. There's got to be something in there!!

I might be crazy- but I know her better than anyone and I say she's pregnant.

Update to follow this afternoon.

Not good...

Well...Ideally this would be a picture of Liddy 4 weeks pregnant....

But due to the recent insight I received at the vet's office via ultrasound this is Liddy @ 0 weeks.

That's right...no puppies.

So this is just a picture of Liddy looking extra messy-haired and tired.

The good news is...Liddy is incredibly healthy.

I guess our puppy adventures are postponed for now.

2 weeks Pregnant.

We haven't had any ultrasounds or pregnancy tests yet, but I'm pretty positive that Liddy took and is pregnant. If she took on her first breed date, she is exactly 2 weeks along today. She has been eating like CRAZY 3 times a day and we have been letting her eat all she wants. We want her to feed those puppies and for her and them to all be super healthy and strong.
 
Only 7 more weeks to go. I can't believe it...

Breeding Liddy...

March 28th we took Liddy to North Ogden to meet her boyfriend Mr.Bear.

This is Mr. Bear.

After we found him and did some research into whether we wanted to use him as a stud or not, we found out that he was Bailey's Dad.

It's funny how small the world is sometimes.

Needless to say we heard great things, and got really good Character reviews about him and his 'family'... and so another adventure begins.

Abouth 10 days later my Mom and I went and picked her up. It was a REALLY long 10 days for me. I missed my sweet girl SO SO much!

She was so happy to see me and be home!!

Out in the Cedars...

A few Sunday's ago, we took the girls out to a little spot just pas the Green River and drove back up into the Cedars until we were overlooking a Canyon behind us.

They had a lot of fun running around, sniffing out all the new smells and helping us build a fire.

They're such great companions. I love these girls!

Sophie's a dork sometimes...

We had a shelf in front of the dogs "area" the other day while we had people over and Sophie wanted to come be a part of everything so badly, that she wriggled her head as far into this gap as she coud. She then couldn't get any further, so she gave up and fell asleep like this. Oh that girl...
