Cassonade is getting big and Guinness has a little belly

Cassonade is such a trooper.  Even though she has 10 babies, she still comes to Bruce Pit with us in the morning and she still participates in everyday life like all is normal.  She can't jump up on my bed anymore, but that is about it.  Her belly is so big it is almost dragging on the ground.

Guinness's belly finally popped and you can sort of tell she is pregnant.  It is like that with all first pregnancies - the body is still young and firm.  By the second pregnancy, they pop pretty early on. Guinness is also laying with her belly pressed to the ground and her legs out behind her.  I always imagine that is to slow the squiggling of the babies.  Use some gravity to flatten everything out a bit.

So the countdown for Cassonade is on.  I expect it will be 10 days at the most.  We are setting up the whelping box this weekend.  Then I need to get serious about cleaning out the spare bedroom for Guinness whelping box.

Poor Juno is going to feel left out with no babies to care for.
