Definitely felt pups move this afternoon! Both of the Pregnant Princesses are getting big and are spoiled rotten! Fada is insisting on sitting on my lap almost non stop. And Neat, who is NOT allowed on the furniture, has informed me that there is a pregnancy clause involved which means she can spend all the time she wants on the couch right now. : )

Getting closer!

Not as noticeable as little Fada, but Neat is getting bigger every day! I am quite certain both girls have been feeling puppies moving for over a week. They will all of the sudden stop when walking around. Fada tries to get her rear leg up and scratch her belly. Pretty silly actually. Or they will be laying on the floor and all of the sudden jump. But this morning I am beginning to think I am feeling Fada's babies moving. I assume I'll get the same from Neat in a day or so. Both girls getting mammary development.

Both girls are going for an x-ray in a week (12/21) so we will have a better idea of how many puppies. Actually, after Neat's reabsorbing the whole litter this past summer, I will feel MUCH better just still seeing puppies there.

Need to get some more pictures of the expanding girls. Maybe get Mike to help me out. Doing toe nails this afternoon, baths later this week. I'll set up the whelping areas and start taking Fada's temp by the end of the week as well. Neat to follow soon after!

She's pregnant!

Mom is in vegas, so I (Lianne) had the pleasure of taking Neat and Fada in for their ultrasounds today.

Joanne saw at least 3 pups on Neat's ultrasounds! So, she's got at least 3, could be more :)

I think she is...

...pregnant, that is. I am fairly certain Neat AND Fada are pregnant. Neat is due Dec. 28. Ultrasound next Monday to confirm, then an x-ray closer to due date.

And HUGE congratulations to ALL the SuperNatural pups and handlers at USDAA Nationals last week. SUPER big "hooray!" to Daisy Peel and Solar for winning 26" Gran Prix and to Stellar, proud Dad to Neat's babies, for being on the winning DAM team two years in a row!

Good luck in AZ!

Good luck to all the Super Natural pups competing at the USDAA Nationals this week! (and thanks to Carole, Dudley, Susan M. and anyone else whose pics I've borrowed here!)

Of course, good luck as well to cousins/ half brothers; Super and Xtreme and, of course, Daddy Stellar and Unlce Wonder)

Stone - Solar

River - Wonder

Angel - Sweetie

Kraka - Psych

Everest - Sonic

The ultrasound for the girls is Monday, Nov. 23. Bummer of it is, I'll be out of town, so have to have someone else take them.

I hate missing it and will be anxiously awaiting results. Of course, I'll be in Vegas, with the time difference, so likely sleeping when results get phoned to me.

Because Lianne and I are crazy, we got together last week and took pics of both girls. NO, they are NOT showing yet, but we wanted to have a visual of changes as

pregnancy progresses. (You can see Fada's on the Podengo Agility blog)

I'm not seeing any real changes in Neat yet. Her AI was not quite two weeks ago. These pictures were taken last Thursday, Nov 5, so just one week after the surgery.

Trying again!

Yesterday I took Neat to Dr. Hutchinson, the repro specialist in N Ridgeville (Cleveland, OH). She was surgically inseminated with Stellar.

Previous Stellar x Neat litters at the ages of not yet 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 are already making a serious mark in the agility world with many big wins under their belts. These guys are handsome/pretty AND talented!

I have also bred Fada, my Portuguese Podengo Pequeno this week. So we are expecting both litters the week between Christmas and New Year's.
