Yes, it's true...Myrtle is going to have puppies! Proud father-to-be, Winston, is oblivious right now to this very apparent truth, but soon he will figure it out. I'm afraid he'll be pretty far down on the totem poll as far as attention goes. Myrtle is doing just fine...yesterday was quite the milestone....we could feel and SEE the puppies moving in her tummy! (We're thinking there's at least four or five.)
Did you all know that from conception to birth puppies only take 63 days????? That just seems incredibly fast, but apparently that's fact. We're not sure when Myrtle was mated, so we're just watching her like a hawk! We're figuring roughly two more weeks. We're going to get a huge box and tons of newspapers ready as well as a little fence for roping off the kitchen area. This will be puppy central with the easy to clean flooring!
We're really excited and very anxious. We just want Myrtle to stay in good health through the entire process and of course we want the best for the puppies, too. I'll post a few pics of Myrtle's ever-expanding midsection (looks like she is walking around with a barrel around her waist).
Wish us luck!

The puppies must have become a lot more active after we left Ada yesterday. Of course, we can attest to the fact that Myrtle no longer has her "young girl figure".
We'll look forward to seing pictures of her progression and, of course, the new puppies when they arrive.

Oh wow, congrats to Myrtle! You are going to be grandparents!!
