Watch this page for updates regarding our Lee X Ruger litter due March 1st,  2010.

Feb 5th - Pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound today. Lee's current weight is 65 pounds. We
are awaiting ultrasound pictures from the vet clinic. Stay tuned!!!
Lee X Ruger 2010
Lee is definitely up on the weight
scale, but her belly is just barely
noticeable. The biggest  visual clue
that she is pregnant is the enlarged
size of her nipples.
Dark colored dogs always photograph better outside. You can see a tiny potbelly in this photo.
Feb 8th

Thanks to the good folks at the Murdoch Vet Clinic, here are Lee's ultrasound pictures. I also measured her
belly today and it is 30 inches around. Her normal belly measurement is around 28 inches.
Here's a side view of  puppy. If you look
carefully, you can see his or her spine.
<-------------------
In this shot, you can see the whole
puppy. The baby's head is at the top,
and his body is below.
Head -------->
In this shot it's hard to see the
puppy, but the green line is
placed directly over its heart.
We were able to hear the
heartbeat, which is shown on
the bottom of the ultrasound.
This image shows three puppies - well,
actually three sacs as you can't
actually see the puppies at this
moment. The dark spots are the sacs
full of amniotic fluid.
<----- Puppy 1

Puppy 3---->
Here's a little better view of
a puppy, again with the
heartbeat frequency
shown at the bottom of the
screen. The puppy is
laying so that its head is
closest to us, and it's body
is a little above but behind
it. You may be able to
identify the baby's ribs.

Body------->
Feb 11th. Up to 69 pounds and 31.5 inches. Here are some new photos:
Left-  a slightly bigger
bulge. Lee carries her
puppies fairly high up
so she tends not to
look as bloated as our
other gals, but you
can definitely see a
belly there now.

Below - What a good
helper - I dropped a
mitten and my buddy
Lee was pleased to
find it for me.
Feb 19th - Lee is up to 33.5 inches around her belly and weighs 80 pounds! Only a few weeks left now until we
will get to meet her little ones.
These two overhead views
give you a little better picture
of how big Momma Lee's belly
is getting. How many babies
are in there???
Lee is getting bigger and
starting to slow down to
accommodate her larger size.  
Feb 23rd. Lee's belly is at 35 inches. We are starting to see some mammary gland development. How many puppies
are in there????
Feb 27th - Lee had a relaxing bath today but it was two person job to help her in and out of the tub. Her belly is
up to 38 inches around and she has slowed right down, starting to nest and spends most of her free time
snoozing on the couch.
That is one big belly! Laying
around waiting for the babies to
be born gets a little boring but
chewing on a bone or kong
helps to pass the time for Lee.
