Simetra Update

[Mirg]

Im not sure, but i will call my freind in a little bit to find out. Oh, yeah, i will take some belly pictures right now, i forgot to last night.

Adorable pics! Pearl is a real looker!!! And i LOVE how simetra's white stripe kinda swirls on her nose. I'm a paranoid freak, so I have to say it....please be careful w/ AJ and the plastic bag, i'd hate to see that beautiful boy suffocate. Sorry, I'm just a worry wart, don't mind me!

He is cute. Looks like he is a shih tzu mix.

Trainingrixie, thanx! Yeah, he usually doesnt get to play with plastic bags, because im paranoid too, but my cousin accidentally kicked that one out.

Doglover1988, yeah, i was thinking one of those breeds, i never remember their names though because i mainly research on the bigger breeds.

Here are the belly pictures (i like how fast i can take pictures and upload them now ):







In the last picture she looks really fat, but all her flab is being squished because of the pillow shes laying on.

[trainingrixie]

her nippers look a little large as well. boy oh boy...i hope she's not prego. But at least she's in good hands if she happens to be.

[Doglover1988]

She looks like she could be preggers. I hope not for your sake though...

[Mirg]

Ok, thanx. I accually would love to have puppies, but my mom isnt too happy about it. I wonder what they would look like.

Great pics - AJ and Simetra look so happy together.

I also hope Simetra isn't pregnant but I'm sure she'll be well looked after regardless.

[Mirg]

Thanx! They really are, they are constantly cuddling or playing.

I just called my freind and she said that Simetra was possible bred 1 or 2 weeks ago. It might not be by Zander, though. She said when Simetra went outside, she could have gotten bred by one of the neighbor's dogs, a Chihuahua named Ottis or a Mutt that i dont recall his name. The Mutt is a really nice dog, i think hes Rottwieler and Bloodhound, probably mixed with something else. Hes hyper but really friendly. I guess we will just have to see who the father is, once she has the pups (if she does, hopefully she doesnt, though). If she is pregnant, the only problem would be time and money, but my parents and i havent really talked about it yet.

I have more pictures. The sun came out and i got some beautiful pictures of Simetra, A.j., and Sophie. Here they are:





Some pictures of Simetra staring at my little cousin.


I LOVE this picture, im not sure why, i just like everything about it.


Watching the construction workers.


Once agian "accidentally" stacked up nicely.


The first picture i ever got of any of my dogs jumping. Simetra is a really slow jumper so it was easier to catch her in a picture.


An awesome picture i caught of A.j. He really wanted to go play ball with my cousin.


Still wanting to go play ball.


Finally giving up on the ball and resting for a few minutes.



Sophie staring at my cousin. She really likes her because my cousin plays ball with her constantly while she is here.

Ok, thats all. I was going to take more pictures of Sophie, but the wind started blowing really hard so we had to go in before the dogs blew away. lol j/k

Your dogs are beautiful. You are making me love springers!

[Mirg]

Lol thanx!

[trainingrixie]

hey, any more news on Simetra lately? I'm dying to know if she's preggers...I'm sure everyone else is too! I hope not, but if she is, i'm sure they'll all be good lil puppers. and cute too of course!!

[Mirg]

Not much more news yet. I read up a lot on pregnant dogs and giving birth just in case she is.

Yesterday morning my dad said that i should just sell her without saying that she might be pregnant. I would NEVER do that, she could end up with someone that doesnt know anything about pregnant dogs.

Im feeling really confident that i could take care of puppies for a few months and get them good homes, but, im still waiting to make sure Simetra is pregnant. If she isnt, shes pretty much my dog already, my mom said i could keep her as long as i kept her out of my mom's hair.

Simetra is definantly hungier than a dog of her size should be. I feed her about 5 cups of food a day (in 2 different meals), 2 vitamins a day, and sometimes a snack during noon. Yet, she is always trying to sneak out and get some more food. I dont know if this could be because of puppies growing inside her or if it is because she didnt get much food in her previous home.

Thats all the news about her so far, besides that im going to give her a big grooming session today. I will hopefully get some good pictures of her during and after the session. I will post agian if i get some news, im going to call my friend (Simetra's previous owner) today and maybe she will have some news.

[Mirg]

Whoo! I just got some great news! My sister is going to donate $200 (or however much i need, we will call the vet soon) to me, of course for a few months i will be her slave practically, but it will be worth it.

So i am pretty sure i am getting Simetra spayed, so no pups to worry about, and no accidental Dachshund-Springer pups or inbred pups. Im so excited, even if i adopt her out, this would be great so there wont me more pups in the world.

[Rivsky]

Wow your sister is an angel!! I'm stoked you've got all this sorted out - I'm sure you'll let us know how it all goes!
