22 Days & Counting….

…..Or is she or isn’t she?

I called the Vet today and made a (hopefully) prenatal appointment. We will go in on April 30th at 2 pm to see if Greta is pregnant. So now we begin the official count down to “Biscuits In The Oven-2008”.

Greta and Bernie got together 4 different days, and I am hoping that during one of those get togethers, they actually got together enough to make puppies!

I am nervous. I really want this litter, I want to see Greta be a Mommy again. The thought of missing out on this opportunity makes me quite sad. So lets all cross our fingers and send good vibes Greta’s way!

My next challenge will be Anneliese. She isn’t ready to breed, as she is still too young, and does not have her rating (which she will get in September), but she is due to go into heat at any moment and then I have to go through another 21 days of changing doggy diapers.

Ah yes, the thrill of doggy ownership!

At least Arnie handled things pretty well with Greta. There was really only two days that he literally followed her everywhere, with me right behind them. A few times I even put him in his crate for a time out because I just couldn’t take it any more. Then as quickly as his hormonal desire for Greta came on, it disappeared! Don’t get me wrong, I thank the good Lord for that.

Good old Uncle Fritz is totally oblivious to all. Since he is a neutered male he could care less about the Soap Opera that has been taking place in this house.

So now we wait. It’ll go by, quickly I hope, and then we will know.

Why oh why don’t they just have an Early Pregnancy Kit for dogs?
