Guess How Many Puppies - Harmony edition

Those of you on my mailing list (our puppy families) should have seen the news about Harmony’s ultrasound: she is expecting SEVEN babies!! (Possibly just six, but the vet was pretty sure there were seven.)

We run a “Guess How Many Puppies” contest whenever one of dams gets pregnant, and require guesses to be submitted before the ultrasound is done. Well, this time, nobody guessed the right number! Everybody guessed 4, 5 or 6 - no one guessed 7!!

So I decided – since we need to have a winner – that I would convert this one into a Guess When the Puppies Will be Born contest. So the person  who guesses the date and time closest to the arrival of the first puppy will win the prize (a $10 Timmy’s or Chapters card). Seeing as the birth is not due for another roughly three weeks, those of you who have not yet submitted a guess may do so up until June 13 at noon. The actual “due” date is June 17, with the actual whelping (birth) date likely to be within three days plus or minus that date. (Our dogs to date have all been early or right on time; we haven’t had any late whelps). Plus almost all have started to arrive between about 2:30pm and midnight.

Send your guesses to me at roma@dragonramdoodles.com.

(I would invite the students in San Diego to participate, if you want to. Have your teacher make a list of with your first name and your guess, like “Elena – June 17 at 3:30pm.” Your teacher can send the list to me by email. If one of you wins, since you don’t have Chapters or Timmy’s down in the US, I will mail a $10 bill to your school and your teacher can give it to winner. Sound good?)

Happy puppy dreams!
