  1. Still Preparing for Puppies . . .

    September 14, 2009 by myeye

    Last night Phoebe’s girth was 28″.  With the help of Tom at C-Myste, I installed a camera over the whelping pool.  That will let me check in on Phoebe, and soon on Phoebe and children, from my office.  It’s time to put up “Private Property — Trespassers Will Be Crated” signs to keep Chase and Inca out of Phoebe’s area — which is not easy.  They are not dissuaded.  The camera installation took longer than I expected (that’s one of Murphy’s laws), so the whelping pen curtain was not put together yesterday.  I hope to get it cut and sewn tonight.

    Phoebe will be x-rayed again tomorrow and we’ll see how many head/spine combinations we can identify.  We’re about a week away from welcoming the Chebes into the world.  Continue the mantra . . .
