No Doubts

I have no doubt she is pregnant. She is already acting so. She certainly had enough ties too. Hip, Hip Hooray by weekend she is out with the crew. I hear it will be raining all weekend - go figure.

This means she will be due sometime between September 14 to September 20th give or take a couple of days. Seeing she had ties this time I expect 4 or 5 pups which is usual in her line.

Done?

I truly believe she is done now. The issue is Kat doesn't think so as I am sure he is smelling Spice. Panda has not come in yet and so we wait. Roxie will not have pups for 4 weeks after Jeannie.

Heat

Roxie's heat is over on the 26th. Panda's has not begun. I swear that means we will have 3 litters 4 weeks apart. Leti over Augist 7th and Spice over August 3rd just a week or so before Jeannie pup. Can this sumer begin so we have pool time before mid-August starts please?

Another No Way

Think she is a gal with her own mind and decided 2 times was enough and that's it. Risa was like this. It made it easier to figure out due dates. :-) I suspect she will indeed have 4 or 5 pups this time.

We Got a Tie

Kat and Roxie Tie #1

6:03pm – 6:22pm

19 minutes

She was very unhappy as after all this was her first tie. She stood for him then when connected - well lets just say I think she blames Nathan. Poor him sulking. Next time she will be okay. The first time is always uncomfie and they don't get that the boy controls when they separate.

Remember she only had 1 outside tie her first pregnancy - meaning they did not connect. They just got close.

Sorry for being so graphic.

Sibling Play

Well, Katie and Odin are here playing with Lila. That Katie is a character. She is full of it. What is 'it'? Whatever that oh my gad I am going to have fun spirit is.

Tongue hanging out, running with all her might she just went and went and the crashed on Nathan's chest and fell asleep.

She also has all the strategic moves down.

But Odin gets the best of her at times. Oh my he got me this time.

Then she gets him.

After her bath she got her nails done. Odin already had his done and Lila had hers done too.

All 3 pups are playing so well together. It's as if they remember each other. Oh they do!

Katie was giving exercise tips. hehehehe

And the moms are truly treasuring this time.

We also did some training, sit, heel, finish and come. Odin's been working on it for a few days so he was a star but Lila and Katie was quick learners. It tells me they are ready!

I caught Roxie staring at the pups and smiling. Nice! I think she is exhausted from all the play with the little ones and yes, I also caught her correcting them. No, you can't yank my hair on my face!
