The leg buds lengthen and develop toes.
My belly look noticeably swollen as the pups take up more space.
With less room for full meals, I eat smaller meals more frequently.

The spinal cords are developing, and the fetuses are beginning to grow facial features. The uterus fill with fluids to protect the fetuses. After this, it will be weeks until the puppies can be felt again.
My appetite increased!

With friendship comes happiness, love, and appreciation for each other. Myself and Skye have fallen in love at first sight!
But after spending time with Skye, the relationship ultimately came down to the test of friendship.
Skye is someone I can talk to, he is my friend and not just my lover.

Skye is such a chewer!
Mom always supervises us when chewing on any new bone or toy that we could potentially swallow. Apparently the golden rule is that we should only be given toys made for dogs and they don’t choose something because it is cute or cheap. Mom knows our personality so well and never buys a toy that could be harmful or ignored. And when we chew something unsafe or too Skaylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07472659048928853004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233360163174562005.post-35338557419980495812009-09-17T17:39:00.000+02:002009-09-17T17:39:36.298+02:00Dog food vs Table scaps
I know what is best for me, however Skye just loves eating... anything! Skye will scoot as close to the table as he can get. His big, pitiful eyes stare longingly first at Dad, and then at the plate. Skye licks his chops over and over again, hoping to get just one bite of whatever dad is eating.

I'm sure I am pregnant. It's only been a week, but I already have clear syptoms that I might be expecting. I started eating less and show a clear sign of decrease appetite. We went for our daily walk this morning, but today I realised I feel exhausted easily and was huffing and puffing all the way back home.
