Stella is at day 52 of the 62-64 day gestation period for puppies. She has gotten large and even a bit awkward and uncomfortable in the last few days. Michael and I took the opportunity to get her out for one last hike on Friday. She was an excellent hiking companion. The only difference we noticed in her attitude was when we stopped to admire a view or catch our breath, she would take the opportunity to stop and rest. When we got back to the car she crashed. She hardly wanted to get up to go inside when we got home. Needless to say we are no longer taking Stella on hikes or our weekly long runs (she was left behind for our 8 miler on Saturday).
Everyday she looks more and more like she swallowed a watermelon. She has been breathing heavy, lying close to our feet and groaning and sighing regularly. We have pulled the first of the whelping supplies out of storage and our gearing up for the big day!
