Today.

Claire had periods of panting overnight — things are happening.

We head to the vet clinic this morning for a blood draw to ensure her progesterone is low enough for the safe arrival of the puppies. Claire has gained almost 12 inches — and that is with me having to beg her to eat…

My current guess is ten puppies, plus/minus one. Wowza. I suspect her plan is to have two litters worth of puppies so she never has to do this again. Fair enough, Claire.

Thanks to Alison for sharing her Berner Brownie recipe:

Please think good thoughts today for the safe arrival of new life.

A Day for History

Today is an amazing day.

But it doesn’t look like it will be the day that Claire’s puppies are planning to make their own transition…
