Ellie has about one week until her puppies arrive. She is still eating well, slowed down and is getting lots of rest. I can hear lots of baby heartbeats but cannot determine how many because they are so close together. She has been so interested in Ruska’s puppies and a few days ago Ruska was finally willing to let her see them.
It is now time to prepare for her whelping. Ellie went to the groomers yesterday for a trim and tummy shave. The clean tummy makes it easier for the puppies when they nurse. We now have her whelping box set up so she can spend time getting comfortable in it, and everything else prepared waiting for the babies to arrive..
Even though this will be her first litter, I know she will be a great mama. She even has experience caring for puppies from Ruska’s last litter in a “nanny role”. Ellie is such a loving dog and always keeps me company. She always wants to be by my side.

Waiting on Ellie and Brinkley’s puppies. May Ellie have an easy delivery!
