Ultrasound

Great news!!!  Hilo had her ultrasound yesterday in Okotoks at Elizabeth Street Pet Hospital.  The vet confirmed pregnancy and was able to see 6.....maybe 7 puppies :)))  Everything looked good, and we even got to see the flutters of the heartbeats!  We are right on track for a due date of May 25th/26th.....so not too much longer to wait and I will be posting pictures of the puppies :)  This is a picture I found on the internet of a canine pregnancy ultrasound.....and is very close to what we were able to see.  From a distance it looked like a round black circle for every puppy......but closer up we could see the small kidney shaped puppies! 

Hilo was a trooper and made it all the way there and back without throwing up.  She has gained 3 pounds.....so soon she will start to show.  I will continue to keep updating the blog.....but you are also welcome to e-mail me anytime...... christaandmike@shaw.ca
Congratulations everyone!  Time to start shopping for toys, crates, treats, dog bowls etc.....etc.... ;))
