For the first 2 weeks I will be weighing the puppies everyday to make sure they are gaining like they should. I will post their new weights everyday under each of their pictures for the first 2 weeks then they will get weighed once weekly. New pictures will be posted on a weekly basis as well.
Any videos I take will be posted here on the blog as they grow. 1st video to come soon! Luci had 12 pups yesterday! Unfortunately 3 little girls were still born. The remaining 9 pups are all doing well and nursing a lot and keeping Luci busy! I will be posting their individual pictures and weights today so check back later under the 2016 litter!
Almost there! We are all excited for the pups arrival!
Below on the left is the picture from today. On the right is the picture of her on day 62 last year. I tried to get her in the same position but that is pretty hard haha! Her belly is hanging really low in comparison to her normal size in the 3rd picture. Survey Results! 45% think picture B is bigger 45% think picture A is bigger 10% think pictures are the same Picture A was of Luci this pregnancy Day 59. Picture B was Luci day 62 last year, 3 days before giving birth to 11 pups. Looks like she will have the same amount this year too! Below is a short video trying to capture puppy movement. I have been taking Luci's temperature twice daily. It will usually dip to below 99 or 98 before she goes into labor. She doesn't seem to be going into labor yet but she is having "Braxton Hicks" type contractions. Her stomach gets very hard and she is a bit uncomfortable but she can sleep through them. Her muscles are getting ready for the big event soon to come! Tomorrow I will add a new picture on her day 62 to compare to her day 62 last year! Luci is getting pretty big. When she sits, her hips look wide and her belly almost touches the floor! She is now losing her hair on her belly so the pups can get to food easier. The pups are all developed and now putting on weight before birth. Luci will begin her 8th week of pregnancy on Saturday and we should start to see lots of movement from the puppies as they get in position for birth!
Picture on left from last week and the right from today. The second set of pictures on the left is from today and the right Luci is in her 3rd week of pregnancy. What a difference! Luci will start her 7th week of pregnancy on Saturday! She is getting uncomfortable and moves around lot groaning. Poor girl! Picture on left is from last week and the right from today. She has dropped a bit more!
