Pregnant or not pregnant?!

Hello! A little update on the doggie front here. For those of you who maybe don't know, I've have recently mated my dog Jenna in the hope that we will have some little puppies!
I would say now that I am fairly sure that she is pregnant! All the signs seem to be there pointing towards a positive answer anyway.

I wish though that I could be able to say a definite yes or no. At this point if you know what you're feeling for, you can actually feel the puppies but as I don't, it's a bit hard to tell and have figured that maybe my clumsy fumbling probably won't help matters so have kept well alone from the prodding and poking you see the vets do.

Speaking of the vets, as I would quite like more of a definite answer, I have booked her into the vets to have a scan! This way I'll get that definite answer I'm looking for and maybe an idea of how many puppies she's having if she is!

All potentially very exciting. Another thing that I've had to start getting ready is a whelping box for Jenna to hopefully give birth in. After seeing the range of boxes available to buy, I decided to make my own! So I've been out today buying wood and lino and have made a start on making a Jenna Box as I call it.

I know that you might think that I'm getting ahead of myself and that I should wait till I've had the scan done but the thing is that you have to get them used to the whelping box a couple of weeks before the birth. Jenna at the moment if all goes well, is about two and a half weeks from giving birth!

I'll put the photos of the box once I've finished making it on here so you can have a look shall I?!
