We took Rumor to the repro vet specialist today for an x-ray to get a count of the puppies in the Ahdin Litter, due the end of this week. I am delighted (and more than a little relieved) that everything is progressing fabulously well and looks to be on track.
So we have a count of complete skeletons (the only kind visible, excellent news), and a best-guess on due date. If anybody's interested in a little just-for-fun puppy pool, post your guess in the comments: date & time of whelping, total number of puppies, number by sex, number by color / markings. Once the puppies are whelped I'll post the details and we'll see who got the closest.
For those interested in playing, here are some details on the parents:
Py is a self gold, not a black hair anywhere on him. Both his parents red brindles, sire IM, dam self. He has 2 black&brindle sisters, and two spotted sisters. Rumor is a self brindle with silver undercoat. Sire is a black-tipped self brindle, dam a self sabled-red. Rumor has produced two sables, and has a spotted littermate.
And everybody: fingers crossed for an unremarkable delivery with healthy mama and babies, whenever they come!
I second that hope for a very boreing delivery......and that all is well that ends well. Some busy day ahead - glad all signs are normal.
