Lots to be thankful for...

Chili's birthday is the day after Thanksgiving (23rd) and we are very thankful to have her. She is an excellent snuggler but also has the pizazz to be fun to play with in obedience, water work and agility. Without Chili, there would be no Stoker and no puppies this fall, so we are thankful for her for that too.

With three weeks of pregnancy to go, Stoker is doing well and her appetite is still good. She doesn't have much of a waist anymore, but still looks comfortable and is quite active. It is during the last third of pregnancy that the pups do most of their growing, so I expect she will start increasing in girth pretty quickly.

Stoker will start getting a bit of extra food and foods with increased nutrient density in upcoming weeks. As the pups get larger and take up more space, she'll get smaller, but more frequent meals with concentrated foods like meat, eggs, liver, etc.
