I just wanted to post a picture of her tummy-I like this one because her tail is covering her girlie parts.  I think she's got either one or two pups in there.  The little princess on her porch swing  And this is the daddy-to-be.  |

If I lived closer I'd put my hand up for a pup Kathleen.

With such a pretty Mum and handsome Dad those little puppies are sure to be irresistible. Good luck to Millie for the birth. We look forward to seeing the baby pics.

Funny thing is, Millie THINKS the daddy is Murphy-she picked him despite the fact that he's neutered. Murphy says "I know nussing about babies. Puh-leeze."  |

AHEM . . .
Not to worry, Murphy, Dr. Leaky is on the case. We'll demand DNA testing. You're only shooting blanks, my little friend. 
Blank WHAT??? 
Never mind, Guinness. Go back to sleep.!

Oh, I am, believe me. But I live within ten miles of two different emergency veterinarians and I won't hesitate to take her in if needed. |

Just LOOK at this tummy! She looks like she's going to asplode! And the poor girl still has a week and a half to two weeks to go!  This is her "sleeping on her back smile". When she's relaxed, her front teeth show.   |

I would definitely say she has two pups in there! Maybe three or four? They grow so fast at this stage, she is going to be quite big in another week or so. Be sure to keep posting pics as she grows into a beautiful mama dog.

Well, Teresa wins the gold star for guessing! We found out today that there are four puppies in that tummy. I pointed an arrow at the fourth one because it's so hard to see otherwise.   |

That is such a COOL picture!! I kept thinking of how the horns of the uterus are in a dog and though that it just looked like there could easily be two pups on each side, could have been one on one side and two on the other, but they looked so even, I thought two.
Millie is going to be one busy mama! At least they should be fairly small and easier for the little one to deliver. This is getting sooooo exciting!

Daddy very likely does not carry chocolate (which is recessive, so has to come from both parents), so I believe I should have all black and tans. If he DOES carry chocolate from five generations back, we could get both black and tan and also chocolate and tan. All of the puppies would carry chocolate from Millie though, so if you bred one of them, for instance, to a chocolate/tan, you would get both. With a recessive trait like points (the "and tan"), chocolate and longhair, if a dog shows the trait, they have two copies of the gene. Millie's only got what she is to give, if that makes sense. She has two copies of chocolate, two copies of the gene for points, two copies of the longhair gene. Comet is also pointed and has longhair, so all the puppies will be longhair "and tans", it's just a matter of whether he got a copy of the chocolate gene carried forward for quite a ways. |

There will be a quiz on this on Thursday. Please bring a #2 pencil and a bag of Pupperoni treats.

OMG she is huge! Four babies! Love the pics both of the already here kids and the ones in the oven! All black and tan longhaired babies... Hallie does that thing with her teefs too when she's upside down. Rays to Millie for a safe delivery and everything going smoothly. |

Wow - I loved the picture - I don't think I've seen one of a dachsie before! (Maybe she'll deliver on my b.d.)

Zora also does the same thing with her teeth. Wonder if it is a female dachshund thing as none of my males ever did that.
Zora will also bare her teeth, more as a nervous reaction than showing aggression.
