Oh My

This Friday we find out how many but her first due date is September 13th give or take a couple of days. Think tomorrow we will start temperature taking. She will love me - not for that!

Mom's Back

Glad to have mom back especially when it is getting closer. I snuggled up to her all night long!

The Roxie Still Has It

Even almost due she still has that love of swimming. She can't jump as far but she indeed wants to.

Tummy Shots

Such Belly shots. She is indeed bigger than last time. Her xray date is on Friday the 12th.

Then standing upright you can hardly tell. Pups are kicking up a storm as I felt when we watched tv with the dogs last night.

No Swim Gal

We are going to try to swim this week but usually Roxie will go in the pool with the grandkids but she decided not this time. Maybe she is missing her Daddy or she's getting close. Xrays will be interesting.

Love That Gal

Got family coming shortly. Weather is cooperating. My body is trying to stay awake. Wonder if Roxie will swim. I am hoping. She doesn't have her Daddy here. But she does have the grand daughters coming.

Danielle is really not well so hoping this is a good distraction for her.

Too much going on and the old car is going to cost a forune to fix but cheaper than buying. Can't win.

I need something good - okay I have that - the pups and the dawgs and the hubby and the family and friends. Can't lose site of that. :-)

Just too much going on at once. This too shall pass.

Can tell its getting closer for Roxie. Also Panda is missing meals. She's pregnant. I know it.

Time for Brushing: Thoughts Added

Time to get a brush out. It's raining and that means no pool time. Time is running out to swim as I am due September 13 - September 19, 2014. Got to get my swimming in, don't you know?

Mommy needs to buy another Foscam camera or she will be taking videos of my pups manually. :-) Daddy says we need to wait as we have xrays and all sorts of things going on. So manual it is.

If you are interested in buying your own camera just to see what your dogs are doing then check the one I have out. It is an older model but well worth it and from the puppy videos you can see that the quality is decent. See my existing camera for pups. You do not need the add ons. The better quality version (more resolutions) is this one. But if you want quality and 3x optical zoom (can be useful) it's a bit more pricier but may be worth it for you. They last - low maintenance and will tell you what trouble your dogs are up to while you are gone right from your iphone or android or ipad. You can record, talk to them (yes talk to them) and listen in. It's not just visual. You can even take still photos.

If I have to wait and it sounds like I must as xrays and all that are more important I may opt for saving up for the most expensive version noted here and have it in time for Panda's litter. So now I know where my tip money is going to and you may want to get one yourself. It's an investment that is actually well worth it. With Wifi I can actually go into the yard and look on the ipad and see what the pups are doing. I can groom and watch the pups. It gives me a level of ah instead of rushing to do this and that and checking in. All I have to do is look on the ipad and see they are still sleeping. That ability to me makes juggling less stress filled.

Eating and Doing Well

She ate well today and getting rounder by the day. Haven't felt kicking so she still has more than 2 weeks to go, I believe.

Looks Like Rain

Daddy can I help you take the cushions in? Roxie is back to being picky eating but she is getting fed 4 times a day. She is getting extra close to Daddy as Mommy is with the pups at night. I miss snuggling with my Roxie.
