Dew Claws

We went into the vet yesterday afternoon and had all the puppies Dew Claws removed. They all did great. Liddy was a nervous wreck sitting in the waiting room with me, but she settled for laying in my lap and whining. When the puppies all came out of surgery, she was headed for the door.
"Okay- I've got my babies- now get us out of here"
She's so funny. The vet said everyone looks great- Liddy's feeding them well, Nobody is dehydrated or weak. No cleft pallets or any birth defects.
This little guy sleeps like this all the time! He is so funny!!!

They were all sleeping squished up in a laundry basket at the vets office waiting to go to surgery.
You can see where most of their noses and ears are starting to turn black instead of pink now.
They grow so fast!!

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.
