We're expecting!

We just returned from the vets who confirmed that Podge the cocker spaniel is expecting. The scan showed five tiny Podgelets, a perfect-sized litter for our little girl.


She's due around the 16th April, so she's on her prenatal care plan now. She only just started filling out a few days ago, so I doubted her pregnancy until the scan confirmed it. I should have know by the expression on her face -


That confused and uncomfortable look can only come from having a bellyful of babies.

Congratulations to you and Podge!

Podge says " Get them out! Get them out! "

Robin said...

Congratulations! Podgelets are a lot of fun.

I have that same look right now, but it is a belly full of tikka masala and chocolate chip cookies. Bad combo.

5 small Podgelets running around Milkweed Mansions - what joy, what chaos, "what was that I just stepped in!?!?"

Jennifer Montero said...

Hazel - I won't tell Podge that we get the 'one at a time' option!

Jennifer Montero said...

Wheaties my arse, THAT combo sounds like the Breakfast of Champions. Oh, and food babies count.

BW- I burst out laughing when I read your comment, and then the truth of it set in...

Jennifer Montero said...

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations - I have passed them onto Podge, who would be more apreciative if I wasn't late with her breakfast already

Jennifer Montero said...

Peruby - I think so too. Notice the belly closure on her little jacket is already on its full maternity setting.

This can mean only one thing. PUPPY PICTURES!

Awww! Congratulations. I assume canine midwife duties will be yours?

Mike is the pheasant midwife, I do the rest, but Podge will be in the driver's seat doing all the hard work. I'm just there with the towel on 'drying off puppies' duty
