Yesterday, Merlin and Merrybelle mated once.  They did not today.

Fiona is doing well.  Her puppies are due around the time I am taking Lily to the vet to have her spayed. I have a special place to put Fiona while I am gone.

Fiona is on week seven on the pregnancy timeline.  Puppies continue to develop.  The abdomen hair will start shedding.  However, I had Fiona’s belly shaved when she was groomed.

Lady Greer is on week one.

Happy birthday to Merrybelle, October 8, 2019.

Happy birthday to Malachi, October 14, 2025.

Happy birthday to Annie, October 20, 2020.

Grooming is complete.

I just learned that I could breed these two Scotties when Maggie Mae gets old enough.  Maxwell’s sire is Herron’s Glorious Roundtown Bannockburn Bagpiper.  In Maxwell’s pedigree, he is related to Call to Glory’s Argentina Mafioso.  I have a link of Mafioso that is worth checking out.  You can find it on the second page of my Current News section.  He is a gorgeous silver brindle as is Maxwell.  Though this grooming he is showing red on his back.  I am excited about this mating propect.

Two more days of grooming and then all will be completed.

Lady Greer and Stalwarts Diamonds and Rust (Henry) bred for the first time today.  Puppies would be due around November 26, 2026, and able to go to their new homes in January.  They will breed as long as she is willing.  Henry has been on a supplement for breeding purposes.

Fiona is on week seven in the pregnancy cycle.  Growth and development continue for the puppies.  She is being fed a boiled egg and cottage cheese alternately each evening.

Grooming is halfway finished.  Lady Greer is beginning to come in heat.

Fiona is five weeks on the pregnancy timeline.  During this week, toes, whisker buds, and claws develop.  The fetuses look like dogs.  Eyes that were previously open, are now closed.   Organogenesis ends and are now fairly resistant to interference with development.  Fiona gets groomed tomorrow and will get her belly shaved.
