\"X<\/a>Shadow went for her x-ray yesterday and it still looks like 3 puppies or maybe 4. With a vague possibility of 5! Apparently they all look about the same size so we are hoping that they are all not too big and she will just have the pleasure of bringing up a small litter as her last time with motherhood. As long as all goes smoothly then it should be a nice number to look after and be an enjoyable few weeks for all of us. Shadow says she is now getting quietly excited and crossing her paws for an easy birth. Our Mistress has relaxed a little bit as her weight gain has slowed down, Shadow\u2019s that is not our Mistress\u2019s! She still wants to eat all the time, but then the same is true of Shadow! Other than that Shadow is saying she doesn\u2019t really want to go for walks anymore, but our Mistress is insisting that a short stroll is still good for her and getting out is exactly what she needs. It also cuts the amount of energy she has to argue with Aristotle.<\/p>\n

Now then on to the names. We have narrowed the lists down to 6 of each and we need to put them in order. Tell us what you think the order should be for the boys and the girls. It may be there is only one boy or one girl or that all of the pups are one sex, so there is no guarantee the names will be used, but at least some of them will.<\/p>\n

Boys                                                Girls
\n<\/strong>Dino                                                   Dasha
\nDonatello                                          Darcy
\nD\u2019Artagnan                                       Della
\nDuvel                                                 Dixie
\nDylan                                                 Diva
\nDostoevsky                                       Duchess<\/p>\n

At the last review Dilbert and Darwin went and I think we could now safely remove another one from each side too. What do you think? Just remember that our Mistress\u2019s favourite is Dostoevsky so you won\u2019t get far voting that off!<\/p>\n

Shadow\u2019s temperature will start being taken from tomorrow and I know Ari wants to bring you more news of the preparations over the weekend.<\/p>\n

I shall run my competition to win tickets to Discover Dogs on Monday so look out for that too.<\/p>\n
