\"image<\/a>As I promised I will tell you all about Shadow\u2019s scan. The picture today is one of Shadow looking at her scan. I will bring you the scan pictures themselves early next week as they are being put on a memory stick for us by the vet and my Mistress will need to go and collect them. The result of the scan is that she is pregnant. The vet could see at least five puppies and they saw some lovely strong heart beats. The way they were bunched up and given Shadow\u2019s size the vet does think it is quite possibly a bigger litter and there may be as many as seven or eight again. The other really interesting thing from how two of them were with their embryonic sacs so close together, almost joined, my Mistress wonders if we have another set of twins. She will be watching with great interest when they are born and monitoring them very carefully. Although there weren\u2019t any twins in the B litter we are sure that there was a set in Rafa (Alan) and Amigo in the first litter. I can\u2019t wait to find out and bring you all the news. What is interesting is that if it is a big litter then it makes it more likely they will be born a little early which means that we could come back to it being Christmas day. My Mistress has added the name Connor to the list. Connor is the lead character in her most recent book and he\u2019s the good guy so it\u2019s an ok name. I can\u2019t tell you who the baddie is as I don\u2019t want to spoil it for those of you who are reading.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Shadow went for a lovely celebratory woodland walk and is being spoiled rotten and looked after with the very best of care. I shall tell you all that happens as the weeks progress.<\/p>\n
