It was really nice in the sun.
And she looks so great!
Her coat is shining, she is happy and just doing her own thing.
So we fully enjoy this time!
But in the meanwhile, it still is all about food.

Dolce is doing really good.
She happy and fit.
But in the meanwhile she also sleeps a lot and want te be withs us more then usuall.
She does need her food in standard time now.
When there is to much time between to meals, she will be feeling ill and throw up.
So we will take good care that she get her food in the right times,
and before sleeping we give her a little snack.
Then she is ok.
Today we mesured her again, and she is now 69 cm.
Also the pregnancy calender tell something about it.

Today we went to the vet again with Dolce, for another echo.
Wow, that is a difference in 1 week.
The embyo’s are already bigger and very good to see.
The vet could count some of them.
The vet warned us that we could expect a bigger litter.
Normally they can not count all the embryo’s, and are there still some hidden embryo’s.
And the vet already counted enough, so when there are some more….
We are very curious, around 30 days left…
Dolce also is getting bigger now.
Her nipples are a lot bigger and very pink.
We also see she got some hair less on het belly.
We are very curious how big she is when we will mesure her sunday again.
She still likes to walk, and then we do not notice she is pregnant or so.
I think when I will take her for canicross she will like it, but we will not do that anymore now.
I will take her some more next to the bike, so she can get off her energy in a controlled way.
Ofcourse she had to stay fitt!
Today the sun was really good, and I took Dolce and Rusty for a long walk!

Soon the vet could tell us the good news.
DOLCE IS PREGNANT!
he said we are early in the pregnancy, and that is ture because today is day 26.
So te vet said that we could come back at thursday next week to do another echo.

Above a litlle part from th pregnancy diary again.
Dolce does not really have morning sickness.
Only monday she was not really happy, and drawling a bit.
We had the feeling she did nor feel really good.
The dogs always get 3 times a day food, so she is used to get her food in small portions.
