Finley’s belly continues to expand as she’s two weeks from her due date (June 8th.) The last photo is a tad indiscreet, but it’s the best evidence of her impending motherhood.
She eats really well – Red Paw dog food supplemented with raw meats, eggs, some liver, and raw veggies.
Finley’s at 5 weeks as of today, a couple days past the halfway mark in her pregnancy. She’s looking good as a second-time mom and is as active as ever.
She, Chev and Xupe continue to spend lots of time sniffing for the elusive bunnies that visit the backyard and fenced garden. The rabbits must be nesting under the old shed as that’s often the focus of their hunt.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there – moms of human children and “moms” of canines. Offspring of both types need love, attention and a lot of patience. Best to you all!
We’re close to the half-way mark in Finley’s pregnancy. She’s looking a little full on her underside and her nipples protrude more than usual. Her energy is unchanged and she’s been getting plenty of exercise chasing down the rabbits and birds that have made the mistake of nesting within reach of the dogs. Out in the backyard, there’s something living under our old shed that all three of our dogs have been trying to get at for a couple of weeks. It certainly keeps them entertained when they’re out there.
The vet calculated June 10th as her due date. Biff and I are going to be ready sooner than that, knowing puppies could easily arrive a few days earlier.
Just a quick update that we’ve had a few clues that Finley is indeed pregnant. Her interest in food spiked about a week ago, noticeable because she’s never been much of a food hound. Biff and I both noticed that her nipples have gotten a little pronounced in the last couple of days, a subtle sign that there’s something going on in her body. She’s as active as ever when she’s outside and this was true in her previous pregnancy. She’s just as snuggly, too, as she’s always been. That’s all we know at this point. We’re waiting on Mother Nature.
