Faith is at the stage in her pregnancy where I will start taking her temperature on a regular basis. I will start by taking her temperature twice a day at first and increasing the frequency as she gets closer to her due date. Second, as she has started to produce milk and I found some discharge on her fur today. I know this is typical and really doesn’t indicate anything surprising. But it was still another milestone along the path. Over the years I learned the milestones from Tiga, waited to hear about Sheba reaching her milestones, and marked them with Cheers. Now Faith and I are experiencing the milestones ourselves.
Listening to Life
Today I got to hear the puppies’ heart beats. My friend came to visit Faith and I today. She was checking on Faith. Having been an OBGYN nurse, she has a stethoscope and brought it with her so we could listen to the puppies’ heartbeats. It took a couple of tries to find one, but once we got Faith to hold still we could definitely hear the fast rhythm of their hearts. It was so very precious.
Here are some pictures I took of Faith today. I put Cammie next to her for comparison.
