Preston X Liebe News / Picture Link Page



May 12, 2008 - Preston and Liebe have been bred.

Fertilization + 21 to 28 days - the brain and spinal cord are developing, the embryo begins to bend its head forward and curl up in the classic foetal position. All the organs of the body, the limbs, head, eyes and face are being formed.

An ultra sound on June 9, 2008 confirms that Liebe is in whelp. At approximately 28 days the embryo is oval in shape and is about one inch in diameter.

Fertilization + 29 to 30 days - male and female sexual characteristics show and the eyelids close.

June 21, 2008 - Liebe is starting show. . .the babies are still hard to find but we were able to hear a couple heartbeats with our heart monitor. The nursery is ready. We go in July 7th for Liebe's x-ray. We are just keeping the Whelpwise so we have it to use as Liebe's date gets closer.

We have decided on "love" for Liebe's litter theme. Because her call name is Liebe (which is pronounced leeeeba) and is German for Love, we thought this was perfect. Some ideas . . .
          Himmlisch Tunnel of Love
          Himmlisch True Love
          Himmlisch Love Child
          Himmlisch A Symbol of Love
          Himmlisch Who Loves ya Baby
          Himmlisch Perfect Love. . .

July 2, 2008 - Liebe has another 12 days to go. Her x-ray is next Monday but she is already quite large!

July 7-8, 2008 - Liebe's x-ray shows the babies lined up and ready for their trip to the world. She is spending lots of time resting between her monitoring.
