Mira is today on day 42-44 of her pregnancy. She is still doing well and don't mind going on walks in the woods or along our small roads here. She wants to eat ALL THE TIME... she now eats special food adapted for bitches carrying puppies and at the moment she get's that three times a day, and inbetween some leftovers, bones and others. Soon I will have to make her portions smaller but feed her often because it will be so crowded in her belly so she won't be able to eat big portions of food.
Last week I weighed her at work and she had gained about 5 kg. Still 2-3 weeks left so she will grow and gain even more. Below you can see the change that has been in just one week.

We have now made it over halfway of the pregnancy and Mira is doing very well. She get's food three times a day now and that will increase as we go furhter. The bigger the puppies get less room is there for her stomache and other organs, so they usually prefer smaller portions of food but several times a day.
This past week Mira's belly has grown a lot, this pretty much just shows that the puppies are in a big growing phase right now, developing very fast inside her belly.
You can only imagine what will happen during the last 3-4 weeks!
Check back for more updates on Mira and her progress after Christmas!

Today at work we had our ultrasound specialist Lennart Nilsfors here, and I could not resist to ask for his help to do an ultrasound on Mira. We checked some heartbeats and brains aswell as did an attempt to count. You can never count for sure with ultrasound but we think we saw at least 10 puppies! I think MIra does look bigger than last time, but always difficult so say when a bitch has had puppies before, if she is bigger because of littersize or because of previous pregnancy.
Anyway it was happy news for me and hopefully I can give happy news to many of the people on my puppywaiting list when the puppies are here in about 4-5 weeks!

Mira is today on 28-30 of her pregnancy. Day 28 is counting from our last mating. She is starting to get a showing belly, hard to get it to show on this photo but it is more obvious in real life. Her tits are getting bigger and all she wants to do all day long is eat! 
She is doing very well so far, still runs and plays and eat her food without hesitating. I will try to take new photos each week from now on so you can follow us and see how she continues to get bigger.
