It is the 4th of March and we are coming into the home stretch of Minnie’s pregnancy. After going through a litter of 9 and a litter of 8 with other girls in the recent past, I can firmly say she doesn’t have anywhere close to that many puppies. My high guess would be 5. I know I said I was through guessing but speculating about litter size is a pastime! It will be fun not to have a mega-litter. My only wish is everyone is healthy and Minnie makes it through whelp without complications.
My whelping box has been delayed a few days but it should be in my hands on Sunday at the latest, or we’ll be setting up the old one. The new one should be much nicer though.
We were able to feel one of the babies kick a tiny bit last night when Minnie relaxed enough. I will be gone for a few days to a dog show. I’ll be interested to see how big (or not big) she is when I return. Her whelp date is a week from this Friday!
