Week # 5…

Here is what is happening to Abilene and the puppies growing inside of her!

  • Development of toes, whisker buds, and claws
  • Fetuses look like dogs
  • Gender can be determined
  • Eyes (previously open) now close
  • Fetuses grow from 18 mm – 30 mm
  • Organogenesis ends — embryos are now fairly resistant to interference with development
CHANGES IN ABILENE
  • Swelling becomes noticeable
  • Loss of “tuck-up”
  • Weight will start to increase

I can say Abilene is starting to be more Motherly! And tummy rubs are a daily Must!

We have people coming by daily all most to meet her and Drover as well as the rest of the Maple Grove Farm Crew!!!

I like for prospective puppy owners to meet all my dogs . It helps them understand their puppy better in the long run.
