Hot Belly Days!

I woke Sunday morning and looked over at Hubby, but what did I see? My big girl, Greta rolled up on her back with her gigantic belly sticking up in the air. She looked comfortable, and I swear, she was smiling at me.

I patted her belly and then gently lifted her up and placed her on the floor. I don’t want her jumping around in her “condition”.

We’re having another high humidity, high temperature day. Anyone who has been pregnant in the summer can relate to Greta’s plight. I turned on the air conditioning about 10 AM just to help keep her comfortable.

She went out, and usually enjoys lying in the sun, but as soon as she was done with her business she came right back to the door and wanted to come in.

I got her to lie down on my chair so that I could take this picture. It shows pretty clearly that she now has a 24 inch waist! Wow!

I did get her out in the yard and I played ball with her for a while. She loves to run after the ball and then bring it back. I always know when she has had enough because she escapes up under the Peach tree and lies down.

Just a few more days until the x-rays. I think I shall go crazy waiting for that! Best of all, the Vet has a digital x-ray machine so I will be getting the x-rays on a CD and can report in on Saturday with pictures of the unborn puppies!

Have a great week everyone!

  1. Oh MY! She is expanding isn’t she? Those babies are getting ready for their grand entrance. I can’t wait! Love YOU, Mel

  2. Congratulations Greta! Can’t wait to see pics of your babies 🙂 Hope you have an easy labor!!
    So glad to have found you again via comments on RudeCactus. Through multiple email issues and a big move I have slowly lost my list of favorite blogs- and your blog was most definitely on that list!

  3. Wow, again what a difference each time I come here ! Today was my last day here and tomorrow I will leave for London and from there with the Eurostar to Brussels. Perhaps I can meet Dario in London he will be there on a business trip. That would be great. I am really sad to leave this lovely place and my friends ! they are so adorable !
