Beautiful Heidi– 43 days (pre-parturition)

Heidi has stunning looks and such a beautiful coat!

So far Heidi has experienced a bit of morning sickness but is feeling much better, polishing off her food and looking for more! She is enjoying being spoiled with extra belly rubs as she seems to know our routine at the end of each day.

While she still spends a bit of her time with the rest of the pack, Heidi prefers to lounge indoors with her pregnant “sister” Sierra or with us. eidiHHHHHHHOver the next couple of weeks Heidi will begin to slow down and we will feed her smaller portions but more frequently with the very best diet possible to ensure that her puppies are receiving all the nutrition they require for the best start in life.

Heidi’s abdomen is approximately 33 inches or 83 cm.

Fetus at approximately day 39.

This is when the puppies will head into a huge growth stage. Their heartbeats can easily be detected with a stethoscope or ultrasound. They are developing toes, eyelids, whiskers and claws and beginning to look more like puppies everyday. The fetus is about 45 millimeters long and has developed skin pigment.

Stay tuned......
