Galena has now entered her final "trimester" (last 3 weeks) of gestation. now the pups are pretty much fully formed - just a few litle "details" left, including calcification of the skeleton and finishing off toes and fur colour. Most of what they wil be doing for the next 3 weeks or so is growing a LOT bigger so they are big enough to move around and face the big wide world (with Mama's love and protection for the first few weeks at least!).
She is definitely showing signs of pregnancy now wit a slightly swelling belly and teats - these will all get rounder by te time she gives birth!
It may not be a full 3 weeks yet - she was a few days early with her first litter, so I for one am expecting the pups to arrive before the end of August.
Stay tuned!
