I really don't like to wish for a certain amount, just whatever is healthy for Gidget and the puppies. She is such a good girl, it's hard not to feel a little guilty when she looks at you with those eyes that seem to be saying...'who's idea was this?'
I'll get everything set up for her this weekend so she'll know where she can go. I know it's a little early, but I just like being ready...you all should know that about me by now....LOL

Janet, I am hoping Canada will wait at least another month to come back into heat so I can breed her again without skipping a heat. I don't want pups while the weather is still bitterly cold or there's a lot of deep snow so April would be the earliest I'd want her to deliver.
I wouldn't even consider breeding her again this soon if she seemed to be brought down any from the last litter yet. But considering she never got thin or run down and had no trouble getting back to her old fat and shiny self, I feel we're good to go. I'm sure that you, like I, give your females special goodies and care to keep them at optimum health through out... so that really makes a difference too in my mind. I've seen a lot of nursing females that look just awful! I can't imagine either of us would let that happen or breed that dog again if there was even a hint of it! I really don't know why you should have to feel guilty for allowing her to do what her instincts tell her to do so long as you can see that she and the pups are healthy and fit.

She is very healthy. I know I shouldn't feel guilty, I really do. She's a great Mom, getting all kinds of extra attention. She didn't 'go down' any with her last pregnancy. She's loving her scrambled egg breakfast and chicken and rice supper so she's doing good. I just give her a little of each to eat with her puppy food. She lets me know when she's ready for it too...so funny!
April shouldn't be too cold I wouldn't think. You know me...I'm hoping for an early spring.
