Anxiety, anticipation and...............

total confusion! LOL  I can get so worked up and SO excited with an impending litter coming. You'd think I was awaiting my "own" baby arrival or something. Just ask my hubby! 

It's been a fairly quiet week. The dogs have behaved themselves the entire time, believe it or not! I think they have been totally enjoying the warm weather we've had towards the end of the week. They all sprawl out on top of their houses, sunning it like they are in Hawaii somewhere on vacation. Ahhh, a dog's life, sounds nice sometimes, don't it?

Cookie can't figure out whether to get her winter coat on or continue to shed out more. She blows her coat so bad after she weans a litter. She shed most all of it out, then it turned cold for a spell, so she started growing a good coat in, now she's shedding somewhat again. Poor gal!

Well, onto baby news. Bella, I'm really thinking she has a small litter, VERY small litter on board.......or she's hiding them up in her rib cage! She is not growing much and is actually quite small, but she is producing milk and I can notice a little more fullness every few days, which is at least a good sign. I'm just going to guess she might have a couple. But these dogs are good to have tricks up their sleeves ya know! She could really blossom out here now though, with 3 weeks left at the most, more likely 2 1/2. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that all is ok. Now, on to something that is just absolutely, tee totally confusing the heck out of me!!! And I'm not putting much into this, yet anyway, seeing will be believing, but................I think Jasmine is pregnant! HOW?? Probably between the chain link fence!! Her and Ace are neighbors and that is the ONLY way it could've happened. They were not put together during her heat cycle, nor did either one escape during that time period. It's just the only option. Course who knows, Jasmine is good to let herself out and put herself back up.........when she wants to! I did not see anything happen or going on, but boy, does she ever appear to becoming largely pregnant!  I noticed this last weekend, of course Chris thinks I'm crazy and imagining things, but she continues to get just a bit bigger and I had Laura to look at her today and she was like, "mom, oh my gosh Jasmine has gotten fat!" Like I said, I'm trying not to get too wrapped up in this at the moment but I can't help but be just a wee bit excited!!! Jasmine has difficult labors and that's one reason we quit breeding her. So let's hope everything works out for the best. I don't know what to make of it myself, but I'll definitely keep ya'll posted! Do these dogs like keeping you on your toes or what?!? Goodnight ya'll!
