Day 49

Three-quarters on our way. 2 weeks to go until the delivery. The puppies keep on growing steadily. The skeleton will strengthen over the next couple of months. Tuasday (day 46) we felt the puppie smove inside Yara her abdomen! It was amazing! Now I can not keep my hands off that belly of hers. The puppies are pretty active. Yesterdag (day 48) I have seen the puppies move from the outside as well! There is not much to tell in the development of the puppies. They are only growing. No video this week

The observant visitor might have noticed already: the webcam is online. Now is the time that I can test the connection and make a few tweaks. Our living room is slowly turning in to a nursery. The whelping box is all set up in our sitting area. This way we can monitor them closely and the puppies will know all normal household smells and sounds. To watch on the webcam you can register here. If we don’t know each other or have never spoken write a short introduction in the additional comments-field.

Yara still sleeps a lot in her bed. Wise girl, in a few weeks this is not possible for a while. Outside she still fetches like a pro and has no problems with a nice long walk in the woods. Thankfully she does not seem bothered bij her growing belly.

Yara is also weighed and measured again this week:

She gained some weight! Not much, 400 gram. But it is more than the last couple of weeks altogether. The centimeters are also growing nicely. In total she gained 10 centimeter on her ribs and 10 centimeter in her waist. That’s a lot!

Her body proportions are really changing now. A big body on four slim legs with a tiny head on it. It looks very funny!
