Stop the Press!

Well......  it appears that there was some miscalculation as to timing and Sweet Tea is not due until July 19th.  Two sleepless nights of worry wasted! :>)  Wonder if we'd waited till tomorrow for the XRay if we'd have been able to get a better count??

So if the calculations for Eva were accurate, then the litters will be closer together than we'd thought.  This is a good thing.   The closer the pups are in age, the easier it will be for us, them and the moms once they move from the whelping box to the weaning pen.  Stay tuned.  As things happen, they'll show up here.

T Minus 3 and Counting....

Sweet Tea's anticipated delivery date is Monday (I'm thinking in the wee early hours between Sunday and Monday), so today we visited with Dr. Jeff at the Animal Clinic of Windermere for an X-Ray to try to get a head count.  What do YOU think????

Day 43 for Eva

Eva is 10 days behind Sweet Tea and is nearly as large!   Even harder to believe she's got 21 days!

Day 53 for Sweet Tea

At day 53 (out of 64), Sweet Tea is getting quite plump!  Hard to believe she's got 11 days left! 

And so it begins....

Because of all of the troubles that we had getting Pekoe pregnant and then losing most of our last litter, we went ahead and bred two girls this time (something I've never done before and likely will never do again! <G>). 

AKC GrCh/UKC Ch Woodwynd Sweet Tea (Sweet Tea) was bred to AKC/UKC GrCh Woodwynd Wallstreet Explosive Moment (C4) and has pups due on July 15th. 

Our homozygous UU girl, Dreamworks & Mystic Dream Big (Eva) was bred to AKC/UKC Ch Woodwynd Veuve Clicquot (Ian) and has pups due on July 25th.  Both excited and a bit apprehensive about so many pups at once, but we've had some GREAT homes who have been patiently (and some not so <g>) waiting for a pup.  Fingers crossed for a smooth whelping and puppyhood.
