6 or 7

We visited the vet today to get a better number on how many pups there will be and the verdict is six or seven. Four of these are spoken for, so if you are interested in a pup please let me know and I can put you on the list. Stella has been very tired lately and spends a lot of time sleeping. My best guess is that she will have the pups next Thursday, but it really could be any time between Wednesday and Sunday.

Stella went for an x-ray yesterday. It was not real conclusive but the vet said that he could make out 5 pups but said that there may be more. We scheduled another appointment on the 26th and hope to get a better feel for how many to expect.

Stella is starting to show a little and has gained about 4 pounds. She has regained her appetite and is sometimes eating three meals each day compared to her usual two. 4 more weeks and we should see some little pups. 2 more weeks and an x-ray will tell us how many are coming.
