Just took Ms. Juneau to the vet for Xrays and we definitely saw 7 skeletons with maybe one hidden behind two others. So, we're planning for 7 but wouldn't be surprised if she delivered 8 or 9. Juneau weighed in today at a chunky 112 lbs and is in excellent health. Delivery date is estimated to be November 9.
Here's a photo I took of her just a few minutes ago.
We'll start putting the whelping box together in the studio tomorrow and make sure she's comfortable in it. She should remember it. I'm also planning to walk her a little more just to make sure she's in good condition to whelp.
More once the puppies arrive.
