This is is, the week we hae been waiting for. Tahzi is nearly due to whelp. This being her very first litter, we are staying with her 24/7. Either I or Laura keeps her with us. That means going to town, getting water, or even chores are done according to her needs.

She is still going for walks, although they top off at about half a mile now at a slow, leisurely walk. A couple months ago she was sprinting everywhere and going out on 3 mile runs down to the mailbox and back.

Her companions are now Autumn and Samurai. They are often found in the yard laying in the shade of the rose bush together, napping the warm afternoon away.

Tahzi’s appetite has become very limited. Things that she normally loves to snack on are found to be disgusting. Ya, its pretty much meat now, or sometimes what I’m eating will at least get a sniff.

We have finally gotten into the new bedroom, and there is a nice private corner she sleeps in during the quiet of the day and the tail end of the night. Our new bed sits up 3 feet so there can be crates stowed underneath for kids that are in season or just feeling kinda cranky, or the ones that still wet the bed at night. But Tahzi still wants to sleep the first few hours up there. Good thing I have Laura to boost her up there! But then I don’t sleep because I am worried she is going to try and jump off the bed! Ahhh.
