I should add that FiFi is expected to go into heat again either late January or late February depending wether she follows a 6 or 7 month schedule -- last 2 heats have been at 7 months.
So a breeding would be either mid Feb or mid March.

Bad news....
Well, there'll be no puppies this time.
We did the ultrasound, found nothing, but kept our spirits up while we waited for the blood test, as pups can "hide" sometimes. The blood test only had a little bit of the pregnancy hormone, so the vet speculates that due to this (and her behaving so pregnant a week ago), that she was pregnant, and either reabsorbed or miscarried the fertilized eggs. It could be due to the twisted uterus and messing around with that, releasing stored toxins (vet's words). The vet highly recommends that we NOT do another implant, but do a live breeding next heat. This is the only way to find out IF FiFi can get pregnant at all, otherwise we'll keep second guessing.
So now my fattie will be put on a diet, and get back to her normal exercise routine.... I threatened her that she could run home from the vet, she's so fat, LOL....
To everyone who was waiting for a puppy, I'm very sorry. I'll get in contact with you.
I'm so depressed right now.....

tic toc
Well, I'm just waiting for the ultra sound on Friday. FiFi looks pregnant, but I'm trying not to get too excited, just in case...
Today I got all her papers, show pictures and test certificates collected and organized into one ring binder so it's easy to access. I also printed out Boss' information so it's ready to photo copy IF we actually have pups. I want to send home a folder with all info and tests I have of both parents with each pup when they go home. I'm still holding off on sanding and painting the whelping box for now.... if good news I'll be doing that next week-end.
