Elsie, the Bubble-Bellied Hippo

LOL... okay, so that's not very nice.  But we have to laugh.  The poor girl is just getting so big and looks so uncomfortable. 

But she's as sweet and as uncomplaining as ever.

Here she is in all her Day 58 glory (she whelped Day 58 with her first litter and Day 59 with her second -- this is her third and final litter):







Me thinketh she has-eth more-eth than five-eth puppies in there-eth!

We'll know soon enough. 

Still waiting,

Joan

I noticed that I had marked "Elsie due to whelp" on my calendar for tomorrow. She looks stuffed FULL of puppies! What a sweet thing.
