Kinetic Breeding Plans

Oh my, TC is getting huge! Poor girl is really a petite little thing, and now she looks like a beached Orca whale.
-
When is she due?
-
She is due October 31st.
-
So, she will get a bit bigger?
-
Oh she looks enormous!!! How exciting!!
Best of luck with it all, she is beautiful!!
-
Haha.. she IS huge..
I hope the last week won't take forever…. Those last days are always the slowest to go by..
-
You know we're going to expect live updates, right?

You're right! Forgot to say: WE WANT PICS!!

Yes, she will get even bigger this week. At this point the puppies are doing lots of growing. Her x-ray appointment is 1 week from today and then we should have a good idea of how many we will be delivering.
I will do my best to post lots of pictures of the newborns. Everyone can also check the blog on October 31st, http://www.basenjinet.net/08litterblog/ for updates.

Is this her first litter? I hope all goes well. Give her a little belly rub from us
-
This will be TC's second litter. She had 5 pups in her first litter.

She looks huge? did you ultrasound? Do you have an idea on how many pups to expect??:rolleyes:
-
At 28 days from insemination, the vet saw definately 3 and said maybe 4. Last week, when she was at the vet, he said 4 maybe 5. So we will see what the x-ray shows. We sort of think that when the vet did the first ultrasound he only saw one horn of the uterus.

How is she doing now??

How is she doing now??
I am not Lisa, but talked to her last night, they were expecting TC to deliver any time between last night and tonight. But I have not heard yet that anything happened yet….
-
We are the "a watched basenji never whelps" stage. She is restless for a while and we start thinking, okay maybe now, then she decides "Nope, I think I just want a snack and a nap". The pups are quite low now and she is getting milk so we know it should be soon but she isn't giving any hints about when.
She woke my mom up an hour ago with digging and digging, then as soon as my mom was up she decided "just checking, nevermind." Now she is opening the cabinets in the kitchen, which she did quite a bit last night too.
-
Looking for a place to hide perhaps?? In anticipation of all those puppies?
-
Maybe but she also just really likes opening cabinets because it gets everyone's attention. After she finished in the pots and pans cabinet she went up to guest room and got in her crate and began to dig for a while, now she is back to opening cabinets. She also is asking for food but then if it isn't the "right" food she doesn't want it and goes back to the guest room to dig some more. If it is the "right" food then she eats it and settles for 30 minutes and then we start again.
-
Sounds like she is really close…. Maybe for a change, you will get "day time" puppies....
-
Maybe, that would be nice. She has settled down again for now.
