Last Wednesday Elska was precisely 7 weeks pregnant and because of that we had an x-ray to see how many puppies she is expecting.

This time it was easy to count how many puppies she was having then with the first litter. The puppies now have more space then last time. This time she is expecting 5 puppies! We are again very happy with a nice full litter. Below you can see the picture. Are you counting with us?

After the x-ray we got a little extra fun echo! For us just fun to watch and for the students there very educational and a good chance to practice. Elska is very relaxed with the x-ray and echo, she is just napping on the table (without any sedative , just relaxing)

This time it was very awesome to watch the puppies party in her tummy. One was rolling over, others were drinking and we got to hear very nice hearthbeats. This time the heart was not a small flickering light, but a clear heart with nice chambers that you could see working. One pup was so close that we could even see the intestines. It was so nice to see that we forgot to make a lot of pictures, but we got some to show you.

A perfect hearthbeat

At this moment it is 34 degrees outside and 30 degrees inside. We are doing very relaxed and are only active at night. Altough Elska is very fat she is still very fanatic and doesn’t seem to have that much trouble with her fat tummy.  When we walk late at night when it is much cooler she is still swimming. She still likes to eat a lot and doesn’t have any signs of nausea or other things.

We look forward to the birth of the 5 and will make lots of pictures so that you all can enjoy it with us!

The puppies from Elska and Eskil are 2 weeks old. During last week they started to move more, they tried to walk many times, therefore they are doing pretty good allready! Their eyes are open, one more than the other. Their weights are trippled and the first puppy weights over 1 kg! Maybe you can guess which one?

Below a video of the puppies 2 weeks old. Elja was having a making-lots- of-noise-moment 😉

New individual pictures are added to their own pages, below you can find the individual pictures from 2 weeks old. We will also add some more pictures during week 3.

Today the puppies are 1 week old allready. Last week was all about growing, growing and more growing. On day 5 Baldur and Kappi doubled their birthweight, on day 6 the other puppies followed.
We have a very relaxt atmosphere in our house. Ylfa is allowed to watch the puppies, but not to touch them. If Elska thinks Ylfa is too close, she looks at Ylfa with a harsh look and that’s enough to let Ylfa do a step backwards. It’s not necessary for Elska to guard the puppies all day, therefore she’s lying with us on the couch again at some times.

The puppies allready love cudling, they like to sleep in our hands of at our chest when we hold them. That made it very easy to clip their nails, since they started to became quite sharp. We also started with early neurologic stimulation, which will make the puppies better able to cope with stress.

Below you can see pictures of the puppies individually. We will also place multiple pictures from week two during the week.

Elska and Eskil will be proud parents of 7 puppies!

This morning the X-ray was taken, so that we know how many puppies to expect during labour. It’s wonderful to see those tiny skeletons inside our Elska. Now it’s time to wait untill they come out…
