Penelope is Pregnant

My baby is having babies. This was not planned but we are still excited. Penelope went in this morning to the vet and had xrays taken. Two puppies were found growing healthy in her little [but growing] belly. She has been showing some signs and we were all crossing our fingers that she was just having a false pregnancy but the signs were too strong for me to ignore.

We just returned from a few days of fun in Vermont. Penelope spent her days bounding through the fields and going on brook runs. Was her last real energy! The day after returning I went to play with her and she has zero energy. Big sign that she was possibly pregnant.

"Two weeks and they will be here" the vet says! Two Weeks! Okay time to get things ready. Going to Home Depot tomorrow to get supplies to make her whelping box which she is supposed to be sleeping in 2-3 weeks prior to labor to get used to it. To make things more interesting I have moved back home with my parents for the time being. In two weeks my parents small Boston home will have six [maybe more] dogs living under its roof! My parents own two dogs, I own two dogs and at least two puppies are on their way. My poor parents.

This blog will serve the purpose of keeping track of the next 2 or so weeks before labor, during labor and the eight weeks that follow while the puppies get ready to be placed in loving homes.
