(Pickles on 10/29/09)Well, I took Pickles to the vet today to get xrays done so we know how many pups she has (we didn't do this last time and when no more pups came out after #8 in January I was uneasy and couldn't go to bed thinking she might have one more stuck inside). After the xray we saw 7 puppies for sure and maybe 8; it was hard to tell for sure b/c one might have been hidden by her intestines. 7-8 puppies again! Wow, no wonder she is so big already.
So I have something silly to admit to. When I was driving home from the vet, I felt so sad... why was I sad about 7 puppies... I felt like something was missing... Then it hit me... we had 8 puppies last time and I was subconsciously sad b/c I wasn't sure which puppy we would be left without this litter. How stupid!! We have all new puppies this litter and my heart is ready to love on each of them! We aren't getting the old litter back which I loved so dearly, but instead getting blessed with new precious little pups! How silly am I?!
Just starting yesterday really, Pickles has been getting real tired; sleeping more and avoiding the stairs if at all possible. She still likes to go for walks, but we make them real short now. As long as we go to the lake, she's a happy camper. If we try to head back b/4 we get there, she's walking back with her tail b/w her legs... our babies are spoiled!
About a week and a half or two to go...
