Sophie Update

Sophie is doing well, and definitely showing signs of pregnancy :) She does not like her prenatal vitamins! I tried sticking them in peanut butter, but she just licked off the peanut butter and spit out the tablet. I wrapped it in bread, same result. They are big too! probably the size of a quarter, and she has to eat two a day. I tried crushing them and putting them in her food, they are hard to crush because of their size (they don't fit very well in our pill crusher), and she likes to play musical bowls where all the dogs switch back and forth. So I've resorted to sticking them far enough back in her throat where she just swallows them. Sophie has also come down with morning sickness. I was REALLY hoping she wouldn't get it because it's exasperating sometimes! However, it manifested itself on Friday morning. She wouldn't eat her food, and of course for some weird reason when Sophie doesn't eat nobody else wants to eat their food either! Then this morning she threw up her food....So we decided we need to feed her some different things because it's usually just certain foods they won't eat during this phase. So for breakfast we made her (and everyone else because they didn't want the other stuff if there's different stuff) blueberry pancakes. She gobbled those up. Then for dinner we cooked up some whole grain egg noodles and added some spinach, eggs, and chicken.

In addition, we made a pot of

cabbage, celery, carrots, egg shells, and potatoes cooked with some beef broth

Then we mixed it together in their bowls and added goat's milk

Sophie seemed to like this meal, as she ate most of it!

Her nipples are getting bigger, and we can feel a little belly on her :)
