Xavi has been showing very busy behavior for a week. He constantly follows Jessy. He also pees on everything outside.

I just checked on Jessy and it turned out that she has come into heat.

I sent Miranda a message and made an appointment to test progesterone. I first wanted to make an appointment for Monday, but decided to test progesterone on Friday, March 15.

Friday, March 15, 2024

To the vet with Jessy. I had the feeling that she was still very early in her heat cycle. Progesterone tested and a few hours later the vet called. Jessy was already further along with her progesterone than expected. That surprised me, but it was very nice.

Discussed that we would test progesterone again on Saturday morning.

So looking forward to it and also exciting for the period we are heading into.

We also tested progesterone on Saturday, but the value had not yet risen much. That's why we agreed to take another test today.

Jessy is already driving Xavi crazy at home. She now and then holds her tail to the side when Xavi makes a sound.

Xavi is going completely crazy and is very restless. He whines a lot and really wants to go to Jessy.

Tested for progesterone and was later called by the vet.

The advice was to try the first mating in 12 hours.

Miranda came Monday evening. We leave Jessy and Xavi together. Xavi tries to cover Jessy and Jessy remains standing.

Jessy is not quite ready for it yet. And at some point we decide to give it a try early on Tuesday morning.

Tuesday March 19,2024

Miranda is here very early. I put Xavi and Jessy together and very soon there was natural mating and they were paired.

We then discussed that I would go to Miranda with Xavi and Jessy late at night and have Xavi mate Jessy again.

Both were still looking forward to it and not much later a second natural mating with coupling was a fact.

It was a nice mating and Miranda and I had a good feeling about it.

Tuesday April 16,2024

Today was the day. We had scheduled the ultrasound for 1:30 PM.

Once again it was suspected that she was pregnant. Her nipples had grown and were somewhat discolored. Furthermore, Jessy didn't really feel like playing outside with the others and preferred to stay inside or near me. She also sometimes sought peace and quiet somewhere alone.

She also trudged behind you for the last part of the walk, just like during the other 2 pregnancies.

Miranda came here and we went with Jessy to the vet for the ultrasound.

It was immediately clear that she was pregnant, we had seen some puppies, but we could never say exactly how many.

We were again very happy with the confirmation that she is pregnant. Drove home and of course got cake to celebrate.

In 5 weeks the time will already be here. The date is around May 21, 2024 that they are expected. Now it will be a busy period.

First check everything we still have and need to purchase. In addition, I have 3 weeks to trim the dogs in the grooming salon and then it will close for a few weeks.

I'm really looking forward to it again and I'm looking forward to spoiling Jessy and seeing the puppies being born in due course.

Tomorrow Jessy will be 35 days pregnant. She's already getting a bit of a belly. The nipples have also become considerably larger. She is already getting some more food. Tomorrow her food will be increased again. We see that she is getting hungrier. Furthermore, she really likes peace and quiet at the moment and she lets the others know that every now and then. She is still energetic and very happy. She is and remains a bobtail.

Walking goes well at first, but then she follows me and adjusts her pace herself.

Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Jessy is already 42 days pregnant. She is gaining weight well. Today she started eating 3 times a day, so she gets more but in smaller portions.

Jessy is extremely affectionate and wants attention. When I ask her to show me your tummy, she lies down and carefully turns onto her back.

It is becoming fuller around her nipples and the nipples themselves have grown enormously.

She still likes peace and quiet. She sometimes also looks for a space where she can lie alone. When I ask her to come along, she stays there. So I give her some peace.

While walking she is not really able to progress the last part.

We also received a nice message from Xavi today. He is also free from Multi Ocular Defect. So that's always nice to hear.
