Kinetic Breeding Plans

[lvoss]

We sent TC to my mom's house to whelp because it is much more relaxing for her to be in a house with two boys than in my house with 3 girls who definitely feel she is not pack. My mom is co-breeding the litter. I have already taken time off work so I can fly down and help with the whelping and have planned on several weekends down there including the holidays.

Sounds like a great plan :)

Yeah, TC is really enjoying it. Today was a chilly day in So Cal so my mom got out the jackets to make sure no one was cold on their walk. I think TC's jacket accentuates her belly.

What a great jacket… where did those jackets come from, I really like the style.. very simple.

She is lovely, hope all goes well and we have puppy pics soon.

OMG! I think Magnum is pregnant! He looks very similar to TC's latest picture!

Hold up…I think he's just chubby!

Magnum says: I'm not fat, I'm phat...and a little bit phluffy!

Hope all goes well, Ivoss! Sending best wishes your way!

My mom got the jacket from Luxor Basenjis last year. http://www.luxorbasenjis.com/index.html

Oh my, TC is getting huge! Poor girl is really a petite little thing, and now she looks like a beached Orca whale.

[sharronhurlbut]

When is she due?

[lvoss]

She is due October 31st.

[sharronhurlbut]

So, she will get a bit bigger?

[Ferox]

Oh she looks enormous!!! How exciting!!

Best of luck with it all, she is beautiful!!

[Janneke]

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?

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 :)

[lvoss]

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:

[lvoss]

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.
