Day ?? We are recalculating and here's why

ok, so here's where we are at.

We are guessing when she was ovulating and got pregnant. Here's the advise of a veteriniarian/breeder friend.  She was bred for sure on July 7th and accidentlly bred on July 14th. A female's season is usually 21 days and they usually breed on Day 11th and 13th.  Grace bred on Day 18 and Day 25 was in season for 31 days.  You can understand how we are not sure when she is due.
[paraphrased] I would not worry yet.  Depending on when she was dropping eggs is hard to say and knowing that the breedings are 9 days spread, her due date may not be what you think it is.  Figure from  the July 7th breeding as her due date Sept. 8th and July 14th breeding her due date would be Sept. 15th.  As long as she is not showing any discomfort and being normal, I would just let her be.

She is normal, the puppies are kicking up and are strong, her temperature does fluctuate.  The x-ray showed 10 puppies.  I will continue updating this blog with pictures, videos and finally the birth!

blessings,
Paula
