one last Keksi update

During the 2 weeks that Keksi was back at home, Daniel was joking with me that she looked as though she was carrying many puppies.  Many.  Eleven, he said.

Now, before you get excited, he doesn't actually know anything, so his little joke was just that - a little joke.  (To be precise, he does actually know stuff.  Lots of stuff.  And much knowledge.  He is a scientist with a PhD, after all.  However, his knowledge does not extend to how many puppies Keksi might or might not be carrying.)

But... just look at this belly.

Pretty impressive, no?

And, for comparison purposes, here she is from the same-ish angle as the previous belly updates.

This is what Neka looked like at a similar stage of development when she was carrying the current record-holding litter of 9.












So, do I think that Keksi is carrying a litter of 9?  No, of course not... well, maybe.

And, on that note, here's the poll.  It's just for fun, there are no prizes for right answers, but you can participate at the top right-hand corner of the blog.  The question is this:  how many puppies will Keksi have?  The poll will run until the puppies are born - about a week.

And do not ask me why the girls are wearing leads in those photos.  After all, with those bellies they can barely walk - where exactly did we think they were going to run off to?
