Luther & Lacey are confirmed parents to be! I usually do not do ultrasounds, but I was very unsure that Emma was pregnant, so both girls visited the vet yesterday. My gut feeling was dead on with both... Emma is not preg (but happy & healthy) and Lacey IS!

Our anticipated due date is August 12 and I will have the Mare Stare cam launched.

You can see mum and dad here: http://www.tailsofvisions.com/puppies.html

I just realized that their due date is their late Grandmum Demi's birthday.

My Dh promises to set up the cam tomorrow. As soon as we are live, I will post the link!

(L) is the sire of this litter, Luther, CH Visions I Have A Dream TT, RN, PT, CGC, OFA Hips, Elbows & Thyroid
(R) is the dam, Lacey, Shady Ridge Chantilly Lace, on lease from a good friend in North Carolina.

With the weather so warm, Lacey will only be in the whelping pool while I am out and about, and then in the evenings. The cam will be off at night as she is right outside our bedroom door, unless she is in active labor.

We appreciate your eyes. If Lacey is in her pool and something looks out of place, please do not hesitate to call!

Lord willing, will have much more the success than we did back in January.

Some photos of Lacey taken today. The belly photo does not do her justice.





I never let my dogs have small toys, but Lacey is in LOVE with the pink pig! She kept stealing it whenever I took it away from her. I did give in and let her have it under supervision. She adores it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this message was posted on Marestare by Holly and she asked that it be posted her too!

"I am going to signal a low alert. I am pretty sure her water broke a half hour ago!

As for her temp drop, it could have been early morning. 11:00pm it was 99.9, 6:30am it was 98.6. She has been restless all day..."

I've sent out the alert.

Best of luck!

Dian

Thanks everyone!

She is taking a nap, and maybe we should too...

I've been looking at an empty box for a long time!

ah ha!! That black spot in the corner outside of the box was her! She blended in with the shadows.

and... who exactly is whelping in that box?

Looks like a long night. I must get to bed as I have family here.

Best of luck!

So I see from your feed you ended up with a c-section for one stuck/deceased puppy! Congratulations on the healthy three boys and two girls!
:

Thank you Dian! I am so exhausted!

Here a close up.

Boy #1 - the only one without a full, white collar. He has tan points.


Boy #2 - he also has tan points, but you cannot see his cheeks from this view.


Boy #3 - our mismark, but he is a feisty thing! He is also tan pointed. How can I tell you ask?


By looking under the tails you can tell!


Girl #1 (Lutherette), yeah she is daddy's girl through and through! She is brindle pointed.


Girl #2 is also brindle pointed.


And this is how you can tell a pup is brindle pointed.
