Not very hopeful

For the families that are following this blog and keeping their fingers crossed that Ginny has a litter....I'm feeling less hopeful.  From her last of 3 breeding's she should be due Monday but her stomach just isn't filling out the way it should.  I took Ginny to my sisters work on Monday and we tried to find puppy heart beats.  This was both of our first times and we didn't know exactly what we were doing but we couldn't find any.   One of our dogs dug a MASSIVE hole in my flower bed and got under our deck, bad dog!, but maybe good dog as that can be a sign of nesting.

I will continue to update you all.  I feel terrible as I had a lot of interest in this litter.

As I have said before, I will be breeding Macy again this spring with pups ready in July.

Miss Luna!

Happy Birthday to Macy's Second Litter. Luna (below) and her sibling's were born on November 13th, 2016. Here are some pictures her furever mom sent me today!

Thank you May for sending me pics!

Maggie Steele

Our Maggie Steele's family keeps keeping me in the loop!  LOVE IT!  I received these pics and this message from her furever family:

"Meghan,
I had to forward these sweet pictures of Maggie. Our cats just love her. With the weather getting colder they love to snuggle with her. She is my first dog I've ever had and we couldn't have picked a better dog.  She has been such a wonderful addition to our family"

Below: Not sure why when I copied and pasted the message that the coloring came our different but this was the original message with the cute emoji's. Above is my re-type.

"Meghan,

Thank you Steele family for being such a great choice for one of our babies!

Waiting still.....

Ginny is still eating more food than normal and she seems to be changing in her mammary glands :)  She is due in 1-2 weeks, depending on when she got pregnant as we did 3 separate breeding's with a total of 8 days apart.  I will keep you all posted! 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

The Holiday Season is here!

Here are a few pics of what our family has been up to:

Above: (Left to right) Me, my mom and my sister.

My mom has been battling breast cancer for almost 30 years now.  She has been in remission and then re-diagnosed 4 times now.  This last re-diagnoses a couple years ago was found in her skin. On Halloween we found out that it has moved to her bones.  She is such a fighter and is trying very hard (and doing a good job at it) to keep her spirits up and a smile on her face.  This picture was taken at Hola in Bend where we met around 20 of our friends for dinner and then went to see Bad Mom's Christmas with NO KIDS!  We had a blast and made some memories.

I LOVE YOU MOM!

 Above and Below:  The Saturday before Veteran's Day we attended a Veterans Celebration at the Madras Air Museum.  We got to explore the museum and see and read about our history. It was really neat to see all the men and women in uniform.  Lots of old timers and a lot of respect shown for our Veteran's. Below the boys are posing in front of a Marines plane, their dad was a Marine so they thought this was pretty neat.

Above: Last Monday I was able to attend Luke's "Fired up and Ready" field trip at the High Desert Museum.  My group had 3, 5th Grade boys and one girl.  The kids learned about forest fires and then..... yep they got to play with matches and make fire. 
The entire class voted that this was the best field trip ever!

I have to admit that it was fun and all the kids were engaged :)

Ginny update

I'm trying not to get excited but last night Ginny ate the MOST FOOD EVER in one feeding!  

I gave her a little and she ate it so I gave her more and more and more until I thought about night time bathroom breaks... This morning she didn't eat much, I'm hoping its morning sickness because as of tonight she is eating again!  Yeah!!

I recently got a new computer, upgraded from HP Vista to Dell Windows 10 so I'm still working on figuring things out.  I wanted to post a pic of Ginny I took on my phone that I emailed to myself to post on the blog but was having a hard time finding it.  I searched for the image number and the second pic came up...OMG! My dirty little monster! 

The first pic is Ginny sleeping in the laundry room :)

(I finally figured it out!)

Still waiting....

I don't expect to know if Ginny is pregnant until November 10-17th.  She quit eating her regular food so she is on wet food and whatever meat scraps I can find...I'm hoping this is a sign that she is pregnant but I'm not sure as she hasn't changed her playful attitude.  

If she isn't pregnant our next litter with Macy will be this summer.
