19 Pounds

Our “little” Anneliese isn’t so little anymore! I have been watching my girl as her belly begins to get big and her sides are widening. She seems to be past her morning sickness and her appetite has picked up once again.

I brought her in today to our Veterinarian’s Office to get her weighed on their scales. That way we can keep an accurate account of her weight.

When she left for her afternoon delight in Germany, with Isegrim, she was just 16 pounds! Today she weighed in at a chubby 19! Beautiful!

She is 25-26 days away from her delivery date, and from now forward she should be gaining weight at a fairly consistent basis.

I leave tomorrow for my father’s memorial services in Connecticut, and when I get home I will begin to prepare the puppy room for it’s next litter of babies. I have a plastic kiddie pool to use as the whelping box, more towels than you could ever use, (ha to that! I use a ton and wash every day when the puppies are little), and a warming block if we need it.

I do want to get a couple of new doggy beds, but I refuse to pay full price on those. I good cheap-o bed that the puppies can destroy is good enough. I learned last time that once the puppies are about 8 weeks old their play time often resembles a demolition derby!

So life is good for Miss Anneliese and she is healthy and well. How does she look to you?
