Puppies on board!

Have you seen the bumper stickers or little suction cup signs on cars, trucks and motor homes, that say "Baby on board?"



I wish I had a sign that said "Puppies on board" for Carly to wear to celebrate her impending mother hood. Monday was the big day and on xray, her vet saw a possible 7, maybe 8 puppies! Yay, this makes up for the fact that Abby did not get pregnant this time around.

But it also shows it isn't always "third time the charm", sometimes it is "things are better the second time around." Let hope this holds true for Abby next time.



In any case, Carly is having a nice size litter, not like her sister BG who had just 4 puppies in June. Although 4 was a nice number and very manageable when it came time to litter box training and feeding and pooper scooping, and etc. This litter however will be whelped at co-owner and soon to be midwife, Sarah's house. She has been getting everything ready for the birth, she is a big reader and has read lots of books about puppies and all the cool things to do as they develop their senses from birth to 8 weeks or so.



She has a baby pool and playpen ready and now all we need is for the pups to arrive. They are due on the 17th if we go by the first breeding, or a day or so later if we go by the last breeding. Either way it is like less than a week away and I am SO excited! Sarah will call as soon as things get started and hopefully it won't be in the middle of the night. But I'll be there to help.

With my next blog I should be able to announce the birth, including sex and colors of the puppies. And of course the final number, anyone want to make a guess?
