19 days..

Iines has a pretty nice coat already :-) There is still time for her next show so I'm hoping she will be in full condition by then.

Saga weights around 5,7 kg. She decided that Sturdi could be the place where she's willing to live with her babies ;-) In my opinion it would be a great place, but I have to give her some alternatives besides that...

42 days behind, approximately 24 to go...

Saga weighted 5,5 kg yesterday.... She was 4,2 kg right after her date with Häjy, so in six weeks she has gained 1,3 kg. It's 800 g more than the same time at her last pregnancy.

She looks huge, but the coat makes her look like a whale on dry land ;-) Actually she isn't as big, but I'm expecting 4-5 kittens. In her first litter there were 4 kittens; 116g, 121g, 132g and 133g.

I just looked at Lulu's file(the one that I got from her breeder) and Lulu and Häjy were both 138g when they were born. Veikka was the smallest one (129g) and Saku the biggest (146 g). Based on that, I'm not expecting the kittens to be small.. so I guess it's possible that there will be a few quite big ones rather than a lot of small ones.

But we just have to wait and see....

Saga...

There is still almost 4 weeks to go... but Saga is already so round that it seem she could give birth any second. But as I've said before.. she loves to eat.

Happy Birthday Igor and Ivor!

BIG congratulations to GIC Suvipäivän Igor and GIP&IC Suvipäivän Ivor for their birthday! They turn 3 years today.

After things cooled off with Saga and Lulu, it was time to pose again ;-)

Iines vs. Lulu, round 1

For some reason, Iines has been harassing Lulu the whole morning. And for some reason, Lulu can't beat Iines. They have pretty big difference in size and in weight, too! Lulu weighted 5,7 kg last week (I had thought that she would be heavier) and Iines is around 3 kg.

Clearly Iines is trying to outsmart and outrun everyone else, so that she can be the queen of the house. Roope had no part in this battle, but Saga was observing the situation closely, and intervened when she thought it was time to cut the battling duo apart.

Poor-Lulu was on the losing side with Saga too. Iines however didn't want to let Saga win too easily and started chasing Saga instead. Saga doesn't want to run with her big belly, so things were a bit unfair for her.

I still think Saga is the queen of the house. But for how long, time will tell. Her rival is really determined to snatch the position from her...

For most of the time, things are really calm in here. Lulu still takes care of Iines, and sometimes Saga has been caught doing the same (as seen in the pictures above, taken 18.9.2007).
