Bath and Nesting

Saffron had a bath as she was nesting in the pillows on the couch. What that means yet we do not know but I wanted to get her bath in. lol

Here is the gallery. 

Messy Gal

I just brushed her and she couldn't help but scrunch her face and make herself naturally and splendidly messy!

Pups were kicking up a storm last night and today Sherry was able to feel them.

Tomorrow as Adele, River and Panda will not be here we will set up the whelping box and get ready. Hoping it is later vs. earlier and hoping its during the day but fat chance with my luck. hahahaha

Will Be Interesting

Safi says I may have my Mommy and my sister, my uncle and who else here when I have my babies. How cool is that?

Last Week Perhaps

Is Saffron heading into her last week? Perhaps. She is due from the 5th to the 9th give or take 2 days. She is getting difficult to feed again. Pups are crowding her, I suppose. 

Saffron's XRay

Click on Photo for larger viewThey say 3. If one is hidden we will know the day of delivery. Good thing we have a couple of more gals getting bred for those of you waiting. 

Saffron Almost XRay time

Sherry you saw Saffron tonight. How many pups do you think she has? She is carrying different than last time. It's mostly out to the sides so she doesn't appear big but she feels wide. We will find out on Tuesday.

You can feel the pups kicking now. 

XRAY Date

Saffron has a date with an xray machine on Tuesday. :-)

Many Faces of Saffron

Saffron had a bath today and I had fun taking a few photos of her. I need Nathan to do belly shots. We will try in the next day or 2. Soon xrays. We have to make an appointment tomorrow.

I love the 1st shot in the gallery the most.

Pony Tail Humour

Saffron is eating better. Sherry mentioned she felt she was getting heavy. She does feel different than the last time. I need to give her a bath but not till next week. I am doing so many groomings that she will have to wait. she's not knotted. She just looks a bit stringy, don't you think? Maybe it is just me and I see things that aren't there and get a bug in me that I must wash her. I am sure she is happy that I am waiting.

Adele is now in my office with Saffron as she is in heat. The issue with that is Adele likes to announce anyone who is at the door. Got to love it. 

Oh Boy

Does she need a bath. See the gallery. But we won't do one till probably Monday. I did comb her up but you can hardly tell. She does seem to be eating better. Her hair is shedding on her belly so I just clipped it. She does have a belly but when she had her last litter until her water broke you couldn't tell she was pregnant and seriously many people held her too and she had 5 pups of size. i am not sure if I am just more aware of it but she does seem to be rounding out. As she is a small gal she seems to carry on the sides so she gets wider but not round in the belly. It is hard to explain. She now has less than 3 weeks to go - oh boy....

Kicking

If Saffron is due around the 5th, I should start feeling kicking by the 22nd. Stay tuned. Belly is getting bigger. hoping she is later than earlier. :-) I have so much on my to do list that is not getting done. :-(

I Have His Number

Daddy did my hair - seriously isn't it adorable? I think I have 4 pony-tails - really?

Well I wouldn't eat when Christine was here till Daddy Nathan hand fed me. I have his number. I said no to salmon. Freshly made chicken - hand feeding okay. 

Yes, I heard from the Roxie that when she had pups that she got all the good stuff and this is like my first pregnancy so princess crown on and why not?

Note: The humans here don't indulge us unless we are pregnant. Okay, we still get ground cooked what have you and steak and chicken but I get it all day long and well shh I have his number. Do you think he knows?

Oh Saffie

She is so difficult to get to eat. Feed me this, feed me that and sometimes I will eat. Other times - nah. Today she wants steak, tomorrow lamb. Oh, I ate steak before - not today. ARGH.

She is getting round. She is past the halfway mark. Her hair is feeling great so it tells me she has her nutrients but its so much fun getting her to eat.

Hanging Out

She's probably less than 4 weeks away from pups now. Her belly is getting round and her food intake increases. She's ever so loving. 

Saffron and Her Faces

Here is her many faces this morning.

She loves to make faces for the camera. Looking at the calendar if she took her first mating she should have been over morning sickness by the 31st but she just got over it a few days ago. Does this mean that she will be a few days later than the calendar? Time will tell. 

She's doing well. She played with Tenshi, loves hanging with Murphy. She also loves being in my office as the one and only or the one of a few. Pampering. 

Saffi Update

Well she is now past the morning sickness and eating. Will have to look at the calendar to see if that means she will be due earlier or later than I think. Her hair is finally coming back in since her last litter. Figures. I may have to tie it all up to try to save it. Hope her litter is as easy as her 1st. She was an amazing mom. 

She is starting to get a rounded tummy. 

This litter will be a duplicate of her 1st litter. 

She is so loving!!

Bath Time Today

Saffron had a bath today and then it rained - of course. I think that is called Murphy's Law.

Murphy came to visit today and they both act silly crazy with each other. I went to go get Sherry but she had already departed. I wanted Sherry to see their bond. It's amazing.

She is eating now but being very picky. Steak - okay - chicken - really - hot dogs 1 meal okay. 

The only time we cater to the moms is during pregnancy and feeding of the pups. Otherwise you will create picky eaters and you will pay dearly for it. I will tell you the moms know when the pups go home they go back to 2 meals a day. Saffron is eating small meals throughout. I can't believe in 1 month we shall see pups. 

Nathan keeps filling our time and if it continues we will not have the needed time off. We shall see...

I want to go to St Jacob's. I just want to get out here and there - to a movie etc. 

Eating

I am eating again, you know. Now to see what that means on the calendar!

Feeling A Lil' Better

She has eaten small meals through the day. May have to do this till this bout of morning sickness subsides. She so enjoys the good weather outdoors.

Better Today

She is eating small meals but refused toast. I usually give them a bit of plain toast when they have an upset tummy during morning sickness. She was running around next door. She's indeed pregnant and shoudl have pups before Cooper and Spicy come to visit. :-)
