Today the puppies are 56 days old and it is one week left before the expected date of birth, Monday September 21. Moët's belly is growing every day and this morning after just a short walk she wanted to go home, and when I invited her out an hour later for our longer morning walk she clearly showed that she preferred to stay home and sleep. She loves to lay on her back and have me stroke her belly. Her tail starts wagging and she closes her eyes and really enjoys it. One can very easily feel the puppies now. Moët is panting more often and she is very quiet. 

Already a week ago all organs and bones were formed, but ossification is still ongoing. The puppies now  have fur. The calcification of the teeth start on day 55 and continue after birth. This last period the puppies grow much in size and measure around 14 cm at the moment. They should grow another 2-3 cm before they are born. From day 58 puppies can survive outside the womb.

    We are counting down the days until the lovely Moet has her first litter! She looks like an excellent momma already.
