BABIES!!!!!

The PUPPIES were born late this afternoon!!! Four puppies in total, two of each. They are healthy and momma looks like she is doing well!

You can see them live here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bridge-engineering

Hoping to visit soon!

Any Day Now...?

The puppies were due last Sunday, but the breeder said that the momma looked closer to Thursday, and now its Friday. So any minute it could happen! The breeder has a UStream  account and she has a live video feed of the puppy area, so I have been excessively checking the site (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bridge-engineering), to see if there is any progress.

Anyways, I've been busy recently so at least I can't spend every second on puppy countdown. (Which is fortunate or I would go crazy!) I've been taking some extra classes to change up my career a bit, so it seems like I am fated for a lot of change in the next few months.

This isn't me/my work but here's a hint to what I do!

Preparing.

As the puppies due date approaches, we've started to assemble all that we need for our new baby. Between gathering supplies, finding a vet, and mentally preparing, it all feels very much like before my son K2 born! Puppies and babies aren't so different it seems. K2 is very excited, I think he is mostly thrilled at the prospect of a playmate, after all there is only so much Seuss can handle.

Puppy's mom is supposed to be due tomorrow, but the breeder is saying that it will most likely be next Thursday. The anticipation is killing us over here! I am very excited to know how many puppies and what sex they will be. We still haven't decided which sex we prefer, so we'll just have to meet the little buggers. I feel a girl would be best to even the score a bit, since there is three boys and one girl here. C is leaning towards a boy though, especially after he saw the puppy's father. (Who is quite the handsome devil!)

This is puppy's daddy!

Hopefully, the next post will bring puppy pictures!

Prego.

This has been a bit of a journey. I spent several years wishing for a dog, waiting until I was in a situation where I could have the space/schedule to have one. Then I spent a while longer trying to decide on the perfect breed, being a "cat person," Shiba Inu really stood out to me. The fact that we share a Japanese heritage, sealed the deal. After a few months of emailing breeders, and more importantly, convincing C, that he did in fact, really want a dog. We found our breeder and began the count-down to puppy-day!

Puppy-to-be's mama is pregnant as I type, and we recently found out that she is due the 5th of May. I can barely contain myself, I'm so stoked!

Just look at that cute belly!
