Surprise!!

Well, I sure hope you like surprises...

Here goes:  Zoe actually went in to heat a month early (THAT is why I was so nervous at our trial in Eau Claire).  I really didn't want you to have to spend 4 long, agonizing weeks to see if the AI took this time, so I waited it out myself.  I was pretty certain a few days ago that she was pregnant; and, the ultrasound this afternoon confirms it!

We only saw three today, but there certainly could be more (I sure hope so) - ultrasounds don't show everything.  I am not planning to do a radiograph the week prior to her due date, so we'll just have to wait for the whelping.  I'm "picking" August 17 as her due date.  The AI was done on June 16th.

So... are YOU ready for puppies yet!?!?!!  I definitely am!  Need to do some online shopping soon.

Wishing you good health and a happy summer,

Just a Tease

Hey Everyone...summer is flying by as it usually does here in Wisconsin.  We hope you are all enjoying your summer and having great fun with your dogs.  Zoe and I haven't done much agility this summer, but we did do a trial in early June in Eau Claire, WI. We had some off moments (mostly due to my stress), and were "really close" in our JWW run, but dropped one bar.  We actually ended up finishing her Open Title in the FAST class on our last run and didn't even realize it until about a week or two later!

Ok, so now for the tease..I will have an announcement posted on Friday so I hope you can stop back and check it out.  See you then.
