X-Rays

We finally had Maya's vet appointment this morning to do a head count on the puppies. We were so anxious to know how many puppies to expect. And here it is: TWO!!! I'm really happy with that too, especially since this is her first litter. I didn't want her to be too overwhelmed, so two is just perfect. We don't know what exactly to expect as anything can happen, but we hope delivery is easy for her. The vet told us that she has a fairly large birth canal, so he seemed to think she wouldn't have complications, but you never know. We're prepared for just about anything; we've been reading sooooo much. Unfortunately, there are so many conflicting opinions on the specifics of whelping a litter, but luckily we have our trusted vet to rely on. He was able to sit down with us a for quite a while and give us great advice and answer some questions I had. He's a great guy; we've always really liked our veterinarian. We have less than one week (unless she goes past due) to go; I'm hoping she delivers these pups on Saturday. That way we'd have all weekend to be with her and the newborns. Hopefully, the next post will be pictures of the healthy puppies. Wish us luck!

This is a better shot of the x-ray, close up. Here you can see the two heads and two spines. How cute!!!
