 the BIG "E" and La Roux at the poodle gathering, July 2011

Grace's favorite chair in the yard

 and ... no La Roux, you can't have my chair!

Will Be Plenty To Pick From

Grace is the same size as she was last litter with ten puppies!

maybe the puppies are younger than we think

tomorrow she is 8 wks pregnant
yesterday and today her girth is she is 28"

I'm Just Saying

I don't know how we counted only five puppies

she's has as many as she did last litter!

Send in your "guess" I think there's 9-10 puppies!

What we are looking for at

* * * *  8th Week * * * * 
Day 50 to Day 57


Dam begins spending more time grooming herself
Her breasts become swollen as her milk forms
Towards the end of the week:
Watch for her temperature to drop
temp is usually about 101-102, will drop 
to 97-98 degrees 12-36 hours before the onset of labor
either taking her temperature but she will feel cool to the touch
compared to what she has been the last 8 weeks
She may seem restless, seek seclusion, possibly soil the house

oh brother!

ok, tomorrow is Week 8, can you believe she's only not quite 8 wks?!  oh baby,
