Puppies due in October :-)

I had both girls scanned today and Dollar is definitely pregnant with several pups. Spirit, however, is still keeping us guessing as the scan was inconclusive.  At one point we thought we saw a pup, but it wasn't obvious like Dollars, 4 weeks is just about the earliest you can scan and it is quite possible for the pups to be tucked up under the ribs at this stage (especially if there are only a few), and therefore not visible on the scan. It is a small chance, but still a chance. Her shape and behaviour changes indicate a pregnancy, but the same can be true if she is having a phantom pregnancy (no pun intended, lol). I will wait and see how/if things progress with her over the next week or so, and if I still feel she may be pregnant I will get her scanned again.

 Although I am obviously hoping both girls are in pup, of the two it was more important for me that Dollar was pregnant as she is middle aged now and time was staring to be an issue, if it turns out that Spirit is not pregnant this time round, we have plenty of time to try again :-)

Sybils kittens are complete hooligans, they give us hours of entertainment, they obviously run on Duracell batteries as they go on and on and on!! They will be having their 1st vaccinations next Friday (the 13th!!) and will be ready to leave here on the 11th Oct, which is the day that the pups are due, which is the day after my daughters 10th birthday, so that could be a touch busy. There are still 2 girls available from this litter, the very naughty(toe chewing, leg climbing) torti girl and her almost as naughty torti/tabby and white sister, please give me a ring if you would like to find out more.

Click on individual pictures to see in full size, just trying to keep my mind off Dollar and Spirit, kittens are wonderful time wasters and this litter are just beautiful, but the Saturday scans can't come soon enough :-)

I hate not knowing!

Spirit and Dollar are hopefully 3 weeks pregnant today, but as they don't show any physical signs at this stage, I won't know if they are or not until they are scanned at the end of next week. Since the day they were mated I have found myself staring at them, looking for indications of pregnancy, I hate this bit, lol.
Both girl are fit and well. Not really much more to say at the moment, so though I would just post a couple of pics from our walk this morning :-) As always, more pictures have been posted to my Flickr account (link on the right of this page)

Sybils babies are now into absolutely everything, my legs are shredded having been used as a climbing frame, note to myself, must cut their claws! We have decided to keep the Torti and white girl, she is known as Margo, the smaller cream boy, Vector, has a wonderful home waiting, where he will be joining another of my rexes, this leaves the two girls, Edith and Agnes, and the chunky cream and white boy, Gru, still looking for a home. These babies will be fabulous, super affectionate pets, they will be ready to leave here at the beginning of October.
