Hershey's ultrasound indicated 5 healthy pups!

Hershey had her ultrasound last night and we counted 5 strongly beating hearts.  She is just over 3 weeks into her pregnancy.  We expect the pups around May 20.

Rosie has her x-ray on Monday to confirm numbers as we expect her pups anytime after Thursday, April 26.

And more.....

A few more....

Long awaited photos - Cassonade pups

Thankfully all the families have been by to see the pups in person in recent weeks because I've not been very good about getting photos.   That is because I was waiting for a talented amateur to take them for me.  So here they are.  I'm not sure who is who right now.....  There are more coming.....
