Fiona is on week four of her pregnancy. During this week, the eyes and spinal cords develop. Faces take shape. Organogenesis begins. Embryos are at their most susceptible to defects at this time. I am starting a special food from Royal Canin for expectant mothers. She is also on OxyMate supplements for pregnant females. Fiona is doing well and is very healthy.
I start grooming, Monday, 9/14/26. It takes two weeks.
I am still waiting on Lady Greer to come in heat. She is at a good weight compared to last time. She will have beautiful silver and red brindle puppies. Her parents are Bannock Bagpiper and Herron’s Celtic Summer Song (Tessa). They have a page for both of them on my website. Grandparents are Gracie (who lived to 14) and gorgeous Angus who is pictured in a magazine, book, and calendar. He lived to 12 1/2 years old. Lady Greer’s great grandparents are Will Wallace and Sadie MacBeth. The sire will be Herron’s Stalwarts Diamonds and Rust (Henry). His parents are champion sired Herron’s Sir Broderick the Braveheart (Brodie) and Herron’s Victoria’s Lacy Secret (Tori). Tori had beautiful puppies. There is one advantage to keeping all the retired Scotties because one can see the parents, grandparents, and great grandparents.
It may be a while before Madison and Mary Margaret come in heat.
After grooming is finished, I plan to take current pictures of all my Scotties.
