Watching and waiting . . .

Poor Callie....... I swelled up like a dead hog in the sunshine when I was pregnant, so I can sympathize with her. Of course I didn't have a litter, but I was still huge. Poor Callie.....

I can relate @Baymule I carried 9! I guess that is why I have so much sympathy for her. I couldn't breathe either. My babies were 9lbs. I am 100. LOL

Been there, done that, hated that!

Some women thrive on being pregnant. Me? Not so much!

YUKES, Southern! There is no way I could have carried NINE!!!

Two was my limit! I carried both way out front (OH my achin' back ) and swelled up like @Baymule - gained 45 lbs with both. Lost 32 lbs of fluid and 8 lb, 6 oz baby overnight, with my first. Couldn't find shoes to fit on my two swollen sausages they call feet!

Interesting how quickly we forget all the misery after they place that bundle of joy in our arms.

I'm starting to think that men should stay out of this thread but I think you keepers of our species are to be admired. Having said that, I still feel sorry for Callie.

NINE? You had a litter too? No wonder you couldn't breathe!!

A litter, indeed!!!

No pups yet... but she is soaking this up!
She is again on my mattress!
I ask her"Callie can I feel your babies?" and she rolls over and wags her tail and looks at me. I put my hands on her and those puppies start wigglin. I LOVE IT! Earlier she climbed up on the couch to lay beside my DS, who is sick...

Yes, there are lots of advantages to training a LGD to behave in the house! Funny though, my children remind me all the time... ya know mom you NEVER let the housedogs on the furniture!
I tell them it is because they are lazy dogs that don't earn their keep like the real working dogs!
