Clue, four weeks to go

You think she's got some puppies in there? ;)

It's amazing how fast she's popped. There is now not any angle at which she doesn't look pregnant, and sometimes it's startling.

Clue attended Christmas at my parents' house (she's with my baby sister above) because a bunch of family dogs got dropped off at our house and I didn't want her to be stressed by the chaos or noise. In retrospect it was not a great decision because (of course) I forgot or didn't take into account the fact that my parents treat dogs like dogs, not like hairy college professors. Clue was utterly confused by the fact that she couldn't sit on the couch, couldn't hang out under the table while we ate, and didn't get any presents. I am glad to be back home and so is she. She's sacked out on the couch on her pillows under her blanket, the way it should be :).

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful evening.

Lots of Cardigans have big litters because they have big long bodies and can support the growth of a lot of puppies. But this was a chilled semen litter and (as a rule) you don't get as many puppies. I'll be thrilled with whatever she gives me, of course.

Comment by Jane Christensen on December 26, 2009 at 3:10pm: So what size is a medium size letter? I was just wondering as my Bella had 8 for her 1st litter and I hear of many having even more than this! I am hoping that we have a pregnant one also but won't know for another week or two...I bet you can't wait to see the end results!

It sounds like she has a great companion who is with her every part of her journey! May she and you enjoy the last few weeks and good luck!

Comment by Joanna Kimball on December 26, 2009 at 2:00pm: I had Great Danes before Cardigans - Danes would pop in the last two weeks but often didn't even look pregnant before then. I didn't have them look obvious at 4/5 weeks (except when I had a litter of 17, but that was a whole other situation). So it's very cool to see her grow by the day. I'd love a nice medium-sized litter, enough for me to have some to choose from but not so many that I worry about them every second or need to supplement them. I already sleep beside the box for two weeks; it would be great to not ALSO have to tube-feed!

Comment by Bev Levy on December 26, 2009 at 9:17am: Thanks, that is so funny, at my in laws house she would be treated like the Princess she is and would be a holy terror when she returned! I love getting the updates and she certainly better have puppies in there because she is getting so big!
