There's a Pug that comes to the dog park and he so friendly. Buddy tries to play with him but Buddy's too overwhelming and the Pug hides between my legs and looks up at me with tail wagging.

I cross my fingers too, and I hope it will not be as hot weather as it is here when she delivers her puppies.
Abou tthe size of the puppies, I hope they will not be too big, my basenji was hughe her second litter too, but had 4 puppies, they were big but not abnormal big for a basenji newborn. My ibizan hound was also big, but I never thought she would have 11 puppies of quite a big size for such a big litter ( 490-570 grams )….so you might be surprised ;)are you going for a natural labour or a CS ?

Thanks for all the replies! :D
We are going to see how it goes naturally and will opt for a C-section if she has problems. Gracie's mum has had two litters naturally so hopefully Gracie will too. The scanner said that one pup was a fair bit bigger than the other three so we just have to hope that she has that one ok. If she has that first with no problems the others should be easy, we just dont want that one to get stuck!!

She seems to have settled back down now after giving me a little scare yesterday (i was sure she was going to have them last night - on her birthday!!) so maybe she will go to her due date!
My mum is looking at buying a caravan for the shows next year so she can make a weekend of it for each of them and take all the dogs along… So i keep getting dragged around Caravan showrooms...!! Will be nice to know some people at the caravan parks for if we do go though! Maya will love it im sure.

You will love caravanning (the dogs will too), my daughter and I spent many a weekend trawling caravan showrooms! You will meet lots of people, you don't need to know anyone, I should think it would be good for you with the different breeds. I have found that people will offer help, especially when I am on my own, a lovely man with a Winnebago helped us put up the awning in the wind!
We met someone who had 16 Siberian huskies, a GSD and a Lurcher with them also someone with 10 Chi's, the Pugs owners also had Papillons and French bulldogs, you wouldn't believe there were hundreds of dogs on site, it was so quiet.

My dogs LOVE the caravan. They get excited in the car as they can see 'the big white thing' following us! :)

We did have an Airstream for all of three months in our driveway. We never used it, ended up selling it on Ebay..one day though I want one again..it looks like so much fun, especially for the kids and dogs. on day..
Keeping my fingers crossed Gracie is doing OK. -

Well done Gracie!
That seems a lot of puppies for a small dog, no wonder she looked so huge. Is that a normal number for pugs?

Its not unheard of, but its certainly a large litter for a pug. Generally they will have 3-4 in a litter. Just keeping fingers crossed they all pull through as the first few days are such a worry with pugs. They are all very active (and vocal!!) and all feeding well so a good start at least.
