Wow! Pups will be born very soon! I'm still hoping that they will all be healthy, however many there might be. And also that Sheena will be able to deliver them with no difficulties. Three cheers for puppies and mom Sheena!

X - Ray results are in.

The vet says she can defiantely see 6 puppies but thinks there might be a couple more hiding behind the others. So Defiantely 6 pups for sure. These results are not always accurate and can be off by a few puppies. But it does help to give a rough idea as to the size of the litter. She was able to take the x-rays without having to sedate Sheena at all which shows how calm and relaxed she is even at this stage of her pregnancy. Se took one where she laid on her side and one where she was on her back.

I am hoping the vet is right and one or two are hiding. Reason being is I have 5 families definately approved. Though they all know that is not a garentee for a pup because it depends on litter size and such I still would not want to disapoint anyone. And if there are 6 pups then one person will be disappointed at the least, maybe two if I keep 2 pups which is what we have been considering. If there are 6 then I will match the families with the temperments. So the family without a matching tempered pup will be the ones to be disappointed. 2 of these families have been waiting 2 years for a pup form us. So I really don't want to disapoint anyone.

So it is still a wait and see. I am happy witht eh results though because they all looked healthy and well developed which is the most important thing.
