So Excited
Yesterday Izzie had a scan and we saw two, possibly three puppies and that means there are most likely about four or five in total...I have dreamt that she had five, three times now so we shall see. She is just over four weeks on now and puppies should be due at the begining of May. I am really excited and a bit scared cos I never had puppies before and neither has Izzie. She seems totally unfazed as she stood on the table with the whole staff of the vets (about a dozen people) crowded round all oohing and ahhing at the scan. One of the puppies had a big white heart shaped halo round it on the screen which the vet and nurses said they had never seen before
We had all her health tests back as good and her boyfriends has had his tests done and much time was spent pouring over pedigrees and bloodlines and colours and health. It took me nearly a year to find a suitable husband for her and it was a responsibility I took very seriously. If anything should be wrong with any of the puppies at any time I need to know I took everything into account and could have done no more.
I am so proud of my girl and her steady character and the way she went off happily with the vet yesterday without looking back. They all love her and her boyfriend is also the loveliest nature. When he met Izzie he spent ages wooing her and giving her the gentlest little kisses round her eyes. He is a sweet boy and I hope he passes on all his good qualities to the babies. They could be Black, cream or shaded red but I honestly dont care I just want happy, healthy fit and well puppies.
The next five weeks are going to be soooooo l-o-n-g............

Re: So Excited
Congratulations! I am very much amused to read your post. It's like reading a first time father seeing the ultrasound of his firstborn.
We usually dont endulge in that kind of procedure (scan) in my poor country and the vets here have not much income except for necessities like vaccines, caesarian and related stuff mostly emergencies.

Re: So Excited
I didn't know you were breeding her! Congratulations! I'm sure they'll be just fine and just as beautiful as their mum.
Re: So Excited
Thank you all. I can see her little tummy tonight it is suddenly begining to grow. I cant quite believe the miracle that allows those perfect little chowlettes that we love and cherish to grow inside my Izzie. I know I sound all soppy but I look at her and I feel quite overcome with amazement and emotion that she will produce perfect (I hope) little puppies in just five weeks.

Re: So Excited
It is pretty amazing. And shocking how it can happen so quickly when it takes us 9 months to grow a baby inside us. I really am so excited for you , she is going to make an amazing chow mummy. I hope you get lots of chow babies. Wish I could have one

Re: So Excited
>>Sigh<< I know Leo and Max are still puppies but I get that longing feeling when I think/see puppies. How grand it will be for you, Siriol! I pray Izzie will be safe during her time and all the chowdren and fine and strong. What joy is in store for you!! Hugs from the Martins to Izzie, Brambles and to you!! ((and of course a couple purple kisses thrown in for good measure!!))

Re: So Excited
My birthday is the third of May, so if Ms Iz is accomodating...lol. Count exactly 63 days from breeding, they don't vary much from that. The guessing usually comes from love encounters over a few days...
Re: So Excited
There shouldn't be any guessing this time as we had a fantastic blood test that pinpointed the optimum time for mating in a 24 hour window. I will post pics for you Auddymay as a birthday present if it happens in time. I can imagine there will be a lot of pics and no time for posting for a while but I'll do my best
Marti it is sad how quickly they go from squirming little fluff balls to long legged teens but at least I will get an extra few weeks to enjoy the fluff ball stage if I can stay awake lol.
Becki....one day

Re: So Excited
I didn't know you were breeding her. Looks like you did it right. Congrats and I will be thinking of Izzy and the little ones to come and keeping them in my thoughts. Oh and some of us were born on May 4th so that's a special day too!
