They say, "Patience is a virtue". Yes, I'm sure that is true, but it's one that I just don't possess right now.
Has it really only been 24 days? It seems so much longer. By the time we even find out whether or not Z is pregnant we'll be half way through it (pending a positive result that is). Then I will probably be concerned about getting everything ready in time...I plan to buy a new whelping pen and found a terrific whelping pad as well~exciting stuff!
You know, I really don't recall being this concerned with the last impending litter...perhaps it fell under the "ignorance is bliss" category? Well, whatever the results, I have certainly learned a lot and will continue to learn as I go.
And, if you are dying to know (like me) you'll have to check back in about a week - I'm planning to schedule an ultrasound for next weekend so cross those fingers and paws that we see a nice, healthy litter in there.
For now I am experiencing some winter lazies. Too much snow and cold and not enough sun, make for a lazy girl. To keep Zoe from getting totally bored, we've played a few games...find the glove, weave between my legs as I walk, tight right and left turns, and a little ball work, etc. We've also done a little contact work on the travel plank as well. But, quite possibly a favorite energy burner for both girls (both canine girls that is), - the Nature's Variety raw bones I gave them. Those things keep them occupied off and on for days. Thank you for raw bones!
Well, I better sign off now so I can get Zoe outdoors for a little run through the snow out back. Last time we did that she unburied a t-bone from a snow bank...I guess her nose is still working! And why there was a steak bone in the field back there, I do not know! Better go now before I come up with a good excuse to stay inside.
Wishing you well!
