Counting the days

Today Joy is 3 days from being due. This nine weeks has traveled by very quickly. And I realize that when it comes to reproduction, dogs have it pretty easy. Yes, they carry litters and not babies, but she's not been sick, although she has had weird cravings like baby doll shoes. Nine weeks is obviously much shorter than nine months. And finally, she's been quite pampered by every member of the family, especially now that the puppies are visibly moving around in there. We all sat around Joy last night at bedtime and took turns feeling the little guys wiggle and kick.

Speaking of the puppies! We found out this week that we are having at least four, but there may be a fifth puppy hiding out in there. So that means that at least 3 of you who are interested in puppies will be able to buy one in a couple months. Of course, as of now we don't know color or sex, but we do know they are going to be awesome dogs!
