 Halo's puppies are due 10 August and we have just a little over a week to go.  Thought you guys would like to see a picture of my girl.  The million dollar question is how many will she have?  So guess away.

What you can't see in this photo is how wide she is.  All she wants to do is lay in the cool house and her favorite position is on the sofa laying on her back.  I guess she is more comfortable that way.  I am guessing 9 puppies.

Anne - Halo is just slightly bigger than Tara. They are close to the same height, but Halo weighs 50 lbs. I get her xray done on 6 Aug. The vet wanted to wait until we were pretty close to the delivery date. I have started taking temps today. Her first temp was 100.4.

Anne -

The vet said she was carrying the puppies well and because she had such a muscular back and abs that might not look as much like a big litter. But because of what she saw with the ultrasound and unless Halo reabsorbed some of the pups, she thought is would be a large litter. I guess we will know this coming Friday.

Ultrasound, thats it, I knew you did something for a count!! Then I take what I said & go back to 9, LOL!! (Tara was very muscled also & ran up until last week-10 days of pregnancy when she couldn't anymore, but 9 one lb pups will do that to you!!)

She has gained about 13 lbs and that was as of 2 weeks ago. She normally weighs around 50 and she weighed in at 63 lbs two weeks ago. I let her run and pretty much do what she wants and only interfere if they get after a opossum. Don't want her tangling with one of those right now.

My guess is 7 pups. 3 girls and 4 boys!! Just a feeling with no experience at being with a Mom birthing a litter.
