| 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. |
