Drewdle's Doodles: MOM & DAD

Let me introduce our favorite 2 Dogs; Scout is our Yellow Lab, he is all Lab and all boy. He loves the water and to wrestle and play tug-of-war, but his true joy and passion is playing ball. He loves playing ball so much that if someone is not out there playing with him, he will toss the ball up in the air and play by himself for hours.
Diana is our Apricot Standard Poodle, where Scout is all boy, Diana is all girl(Princess), she is the most gentle, docile, sweet dog that I have ever met. She prefers to be near us as much as she can. She will come and sit right in front of you and pose as if she is saying, "Tell me how beautiful I am." She is a giant cuddlebug, she is a favorite of the foster children in our home as well as the day care kids. She seems to have a calming , soothing effect on the kids. They love to stroke and pet her velvety soft fur and as long as they want to give her attention she will take it.

I took Diana to the vet on 12/31/09. She has gained 11 pounds in the 2 weeks since her last visit.
The vet did quite a few tests to make sure all is well.(She passed with flying colors)She also did x-rays and an ultrasound. (See copy below) She verified 5 puppy heartbeats, but she believes that Diana is carrying 8-9 puppies. Her due date is Jan 13th so we will find out. We have moved Diana into her whelping box at night and at various times during the day so that she feels safe and secure for the blessed event. Please join our family as we take this new and exciting journey.
Thanks, Drewdle
