Round 1 Done!
Thanks to Dr Kim Hitt, round one is done! Based on Zhora’s progesterone being 14.4 yesterday, we decided to do the second breeding tomorrow in case Thursday was too late. Bert has managed to contribute again like a rock star, so his little swimmers are on their way here again for tomorrow!
SO MANY THANKS to so many people who have helped with this journey so far! Michelle Fromm for her friendship and advice and for being a total ROCK STAR for taking time off work and driving to Phoenix not once but TWICE to get Bert (who also gets big thanks of course) collected. Kim for helping me recognize that I wanted to breed the best litter I could and for helping me through the logistics and planning and texting me with updates! Simone for coming in on Saturday to draw blood. Caroline for her support and listening to the crazy dog lady talk! And as always Jim for putting up with this craziness and helping so much. Thank you all so much, and anyone I’ve forgotten. And that’s my Academy Award acceptance speech.
Now we do one more tomorrow, then we wait, and hope, and keep our fingers and toes and eyes crossed that we get some wonderful puppies!
