Roady Had a Happy Moment

Still obsessed with the flea issue I bought a flea comb last night and gave everyone a once over.  Roady was convinced it was some horrible torture.  He prefers his groom zoom.  Pixie liked it and the pups just wiggled around like usual.  No fleas with the comb but I got one this am and picked up some diatomacious earth today to treat Roady, the house and yard.  SIGH  Why now?

 Roady's buddy Ed came by today under the pretense of seeing Lannie's grandpups but really it was to visit Roady. 

 

There was a little puppy action going on.

 On the other hand, Wendy was pretty much here just to see the puppies.

Two Weeks Later

I hate to start looking at her but some people are impatient .  These shots are from this morning after I got home from work.  She doesn't cooperate for camera work much better outside than inside.  You would think she was a retiring wall flower.
It is sort of relevant to equate each week of a dog's pregnancy to each month of a human's pregnancy (not exactly but for our purposes that is what we are going to do).  Pix looks like she should at two weeks.  Nipples a little pink but that is about it. I'll post pics like this every Friday.

Despite how miserable Pix makes picture taking there was fun to be had by her and Roady investigating the possibility of a bunny being under a shrub in the front yard.

Stop trying to tear out the roots!

Awwwww!  He is so cute!

Another non-confirming confirmation

Pixie has continued to be a slow eater in the morning. No problems at night.  Last night we were on the couch watching TV which of course means that they want up with me.  Pixie is normally a heat seeker.  She likes to be under the blankets and can stay under the electric blanket for quite some time before thinking it is too hot.  Last night not so.  Within 30 minutes she was out and panting.  So maybe she is changing a bit and is making more of her own heat.  BTW, both Mom and Lisa think she looks and feels pregnant respectively.

One a completely non-related note, I was making Magic Meatballs for Rocket on Sunday.  Roady and Pixie love them so I had an audience during the preperation:

Roady - I'm surprised he isn't drooling
