| December 31, 2003 - Mom saw a little dried blood. She has been checking me constantly (it is quite annoying). She phoned Odinn's mom to let her know I would most likely be in season tomorrow. Had a play date with some friends and then off to the vet for my Brucellosis test. They drew blood from my neck (ick!) and sent it off to the lab. January 1, 2004 - Ahhh, a New Year. Not so sure about the puppy thing anymore. Decided to hold off coming into season until the timing is better. January 2, 2004 - DAY 1. Decided that there is no time like the present! I am officially "in season". You'd think I just had puppies or something - the way Mom has been running around, making phone calls, e-mails and now this silly website. She and Tania have been making arrangements for my big "marriage". Oh, my Brucellosis came back Negative. January 3, 2004 - DAY 2. My boyfriend called today. Not sure WHY he called as mom wouldn't let me on the phone but he still called. January 4, 2004 - DAY 3. MONSTER CRAMPS!! January 4, 2004 - Won't this day ever end??? Okay, someone please explain to me WHY I can't eat whatever I want. I *thought* when you were pregnant you were supposed to eat a lot - everything in sight in fact. I mean isn't that the only upside to having babies?? I know I'm not pregnant yet but I'm practicing. I saw some bread on the counter for the prime rib sandwich that I *thought* mom was making for me. I saw it - it was "in my sight" - so I ate it. Man O man did I catch holy heck for that! January 5, 2004 - DAY 4. After yesterday's incident with the bread, I am stressing out about having my boyfriend up to meet my mom. I just KNOW she is going to embarrass me in front of him. She'll probably pull out my puppy pictures. Show him how I looked when I was high in the rear and had no chest. I wish I was going to Odinn's house. He has a cool mom. I'll bet he is allowed to eat anything in reach! January 6, 2004 - DAY 5. Odinn sent me photos of . . . himself. I am starting to think he is a little vain. January 7, 2004 - DAY 6. Odinn called me again last night. This time mom let me talk to him. He is so sweet; he called me his little Shirley Temple and roo roo'd in my ear. I think I'm in LOVE! Oh yeah, he got his test results. Yippie, VD-Free! January 8, 2004 - DAY 7. He is sending me pictures again. Not sure if Odinn loves me or loves himself. I think he loves me ~ everyone else does. Check out my dashing man. Click here to see him being sweet! Click here to see him being sexy!! Everyone should have such a handsome and romantic boyfriend. January 9, 2004 - DAY 8. January 10, 2004 - DAY 9. Who cares what happened yesterday. HE'S HERE! Together at last. Progesterone Results - .2. January 11, 2004 - DAY 10. (Please ask small children to leave the room.) Odinn is here. I'm here. What the *blank* is going on?? I live in JAIL!!! WHAT IS THIS SHIT???? January 12, 2004 - DAY 11. Same SHIT, Different Day. Odinn and Sydney went to McKee Besher - MY favorite place to run - and they got HOURS in the fields to play. Me, I sat in "jail". Then, oh lucky me, I got to go to the vet and get poked by a *&*(%^ needle. For the record, I am not a bitch and I am not being bitchy because of PMS. I AM BEING HELD PRISONER IN MY OWN HOME AND SYDNEY IS TRYING TO STEAL MY BOYFRIEND! January 13, 2004 - DAY 12. Yesterdays Progesterone was 2.4. I had HOPED that tonight would be the big night. Odinn and I got to spend a little time together but . . . I am still not sure. I decided that I'd wait until, perhaps, tomorrow. We had a nice dinner . . . and then IT happened. No, not that "it". Not the good "it" that we've all be waiting for. Instead, he PEED ON ME! I was in my crate and couldn't do anyting about it. Frankly, if this is his idea of foreplay, he can find himself another chicky because I am just not that kind of girl! January 14, 2004 - DAY 13. Odinn still isn't quite into me. I am starting to get a complex. Aren't I pretty enough? I flag, I tilt. What more is a girl to do??? Mom decided to do an artificial insemination ("AI") but we all agreed that the vet we tried was a total nincompoop. January 15, 2004 - DAY 14. Odinn almost got me this morning and I said NO WAY. Mom, Grandma Carol & Auntie Deb thought another breeding would be in order today so we went to the expert. We did another AI . . . . and Oh My God. Dr. Roskin told me not to look but I couldn't help myself; I saw "it". Odinn's "whoo haa" is the biggest thing I have ever seen. I want to die a virgin!!! January 16, 2004 - DAY 15 (DAY 63). AM - I went on vacation today to visit family. Odinn came with us. I was excited to introduce him to my G'ma Carol & my Auntie Diana. Dr. Roskin called twice to tell my mom that yesterday's progesterone was a 9.5!!! If I don't get a natural breeding today, we have to go back. I don't want to go back!! He said to start counting from today for puppies? I didn't know we were having puppies! Guess I am getting a little brother or sister. Wonder who the mom is . . . . PM - It was fun to see the family for about two seconds. They helped Odinn tie me up for 18 minutes. Kinda boring, actually. Glad that my friend Emmie was there to give me a snack. Bologna and cheese really helps to pass the time. January 17, 2004 - DAY 16 (DAY 62). They tied me up again. What is it with this?? 27 minutes . . . and no snacks!!! Mom is nuts. She spent the evening talking to my belly. January 18, 2004 - DAY 17 (DAY 61). Okay, I am done with being tied up. This is the last time!!! I have really HAD IT. I guess Odinn knew that 'cause he wouldn't let me go for 46 minutes! All those rumors about the southern-gentleman-type are A LIE. No dinner. No flowers. No movie. Not even a little smootching. Billie, ya ain't missing anything. January 19, 2004 - DAY 18 (DAY 60). It is nice to be home. I cuddled with mom all day. Things are getting back to normal. I wasn't allowed to play with Odinn today. Between you and me . . . THANK GOD! Not sure that I liked these last few days of "playing". January 20, 2004 - DAY 19 (DAY 59). Another day. Just like any other. Sorry guys, nothing exciting. I did find out that my first mom was a Ptop Producer last year, with a little help from me and my siblings. I love my momma Ptop. January 21, 2004 - DAY 20 (DAY 58). Booooooorrrrrrrrringgggggg. I gave mom a scare when I started retching. Nothing came up. Of course, she will look at it as a sign. The truth is I probably just ate one too many chicken nuggets! January 22, 2004 - DAY 21 (DAY 57). I went on an interview today. Odinn came with me. The interview was fun but Odinn paid noooo attention to me. I guess he is a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy. It all worked out because I have two new men in my life named Travis and Rob. They were very nice. They even let me jump on them with my dirty feet!!! Odinn and I both decided that they pass the kiss test. January 23, 2004 - DAY 56. One week down. Eight more to go. Today was toenail day. Unbelieveable. I hate having my toenails done. Mom should know better than to put a pregnant mother under the dremel!! What is the point of having babies if I can't get out of stuff like this?? January 24, 2004 - DAY 55. Ah ha. Odinn got his toe nails done today. Ahh haaa. January 25, 2004 - DAY 54. Nuthin'. Its Sunday. Hey, even God had a day of rest, sheesh. January 26, 2004 - DAY 53. Snow. Yippie. Wonder what Odinn thinks of it. Odinn, Sydney and I played naked twister in mom's office. I think she was a little annoyed but it was fun tying ourselves into knots. January 27, 2004 - DAY 52. January 28, 2004 - DAY 51. Jaeger is back. Soooooo glad to have my Jaegie HOME! January 29, 2004 - DAY 50. January 30, 2004 - DAY 49. January 31, 2004 - DAY 48. February 1, 2004 - DAY 47. February 2, 2004 - DAY 46. Mom thinks I am getting fat. She should know not to say those things! February 3, 2004 - DAY 45. Mantra of the day, "I will not lose my girlish figure. I will not lose my girlish figure." February 4, 2004 - DAY 44. Mantra of the day, "Sleep." February 5, 2004 - DAY 43. February 6, 2004 - DAY 42. February 7, 2004 - DAY 41. February 8, 2004 - DAY 40. Mom's home. I was excited for a second but I got over that real fast and had to take a nap. I wonder if this is what narcolepsy feels like. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. February 9, 2004 - DAY 39. Today was actually the first time I have had some real fun. Some ladies named Elizabeth and Lauren came by to meet me. They were nice but they paid too much attention to Sydney and Jaeger. I also got MAIL. A box came from some Lisa lady. It took me a while to chew it open but wow! COOL STUFF. I am sharing the dino, hedge hog, and ferret with my friends but the Hide-A-Squirrel and treats I am keeping all to myself!! Who knew people would be so nice to me just by getting fat! February 10, 2004 - DAY 38. I AM PREGNANTTTTTTTTTTTTT! February 11, 2004 - DAY 37. It is a little early for Valentine's but I am celebrating today. Odinn loves me. He sent me the cutest card and he even said so in it!! Click here to ckeck out my Valentines Day Card. I wonder what he is going to send me for Saturday. I'll bet is is a NEW CAR! (And don't say i can't drive . . . because I can do anything once I put my mind to it.) February 12, 2004 - DAY 36. This pregnancy thing is kinda cool. I never hear from my auntie Laurie and she sent me an e-mail. If I had known that is all I had to do to get a response from her, I would have gotten pregnant waaay sooner. Also mom got a box yesterday from Grandma Carol. She has it set up in the guest room. I wonder what is going in it . . . . February 13, 2004 - DAY 35. Four weeks down. Five to go. OMG! Not sure what the trade-off is here. First, I get fat. Now, I look in the mirror and the change of life is happening before my very eyes. EEEKS! I AM GOING GRAY! February 14, 2004 - DAY 34. I miss my honey, who is down in Florida flirting with all those field trial chicks in bikini's. He couldn't even keep his mind on the trial. Arrumph, wonder who he was thinking about when he blew up. February 15, 2004 - DAY 33. My boyfriend is the coolest and he kicked ass at the field trial today. I am so happy for him. February 16, 2004 - DAY 32. Mom had a mental meltdown today when her computer went haywire. No e-mail! I am sort of glad because we got to go on a big run. Jaeger, Sydney and my cousin Angus came. It was a lot of fun. We only got to go for an hour and a half. I didn't feel tired but mom doesn't want me to over do it. February 17, 2004 - DAY 31. Mantra of the day, "I'm thin. I'm beautiful. And, gosh darn it, people like me." February 18, 2004 - DAY 30. My cousin Millie had babies today. Her mom was there every step of the way. I WANT MY MOMMIE! February 19, 2004 - DAY 29. Had another long run today. Twice around the field was enough for me. Melissa saw me today and she can tell I am pregnant. I can't tell whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. What I do know is I WANT MORE FOOD! I really like the treats from Auntie Lisa. In fact, I have been inhaling them. IN FACT, I am rapidly becoming known as HOOVER, whatever that means. February 20, 2004 - DAY 28. February 21, 2004 - DAY 27. February 22, 2004 - DAY 26. February 23, 2004 - DAY 25. I'm BACK! Unforunately, so is Sydney's sister. She came to stay for a week and they just go-go-go non-stop. What freaks. February 24, 2004 - DAY 24. I have kept myself busy with a photo shoot. Here are some photos of my svelt self. Travis compared me to Demi Moore. What a nice compliment . . . to Demi! Anyway, CHECK ME OUT! February 25, 2004 - DAY 23. Recovering from the photo shoot. February 26, 2004 - DAY 22. Wow, who knew that being fat was such hard work. Even the little things in life are getting difficult. I used to be such a wry sprite and now I have trouble doing the easiest little manuevers, like hopping up onto the bed. February 27, 2004 - DAY 21. Six weeks down. Three (or less) to go. If women get "menopause" than I am having "dogopaws". I am constantly getting overheated . . . and it is the middle of winter. What gives???!!! February 28, 2004 - DAY 20. Another Day. Another Hunger Pain! February 29, 2004 - DAY 19. AUNTIE THERESA CALLED ME A WATERMELON!!! *sniffle, sniffle* I am not a fruit!! *sniffle* March 1, 2004 - DAY 18. Now, tell me. Does this look like fruit????????? March 2, 2004 - DAY 17. All I can say is . . . I HAVE TO PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! March 3, 2004 - DAY 16. Mom thinks my babies will be here in two weeks, which is good because then I can get back to my "partying" weight. March 4, 2004 - DAY 15. ITS ALIVE . . . ! I feel the little buggars kicking at my tummy. March 5, 2004 - DAY 14. Seven Weeks Down Two Weeks (or less) to Go! INDI - - - GESTION. March 6, 2004 - DAY 13. The PWWF ("Puppy World Wrestling Federation") is alive and well . . . and performing in my STOMACH!!! "Buster" is the headliner and "Rocky" and "Bullwinkle" do the tag-team warm up set. They must be giving a good show, too, cause my mom sits and stares at my tummy for HOURS! March 7, 2004 - DAY 12. (temp 100.1 @ 7 pm) "To give Benadryl or not to give Benadryl, that is the question." Help!!! 9-1-1!!! I've been attacked. I don't know by what but I am uncomfortable and my mom is FREAKING OUT! I am having an allergic reaction - normally not a big deal BUT MY POOR PUPPIES! I have welts on my body - mostly my head - and BOTH my ears have swollen up. It feels so weird; I can't stop shaking my head! Thanks to the emergency vet, Auntie Diana, G'ma C., and Auntie Deb for all their advice. My mom felt better after talking to you all. Frankly, I don't like the cold compresses or my hat/pantyhose contraption but I am glad my mom is feeling a little better. March 8, 2004 - DAY 11. (temp 99.5 @ 3pm) My tail is shrinking! No one died. This is to keep my ears still. March 9, 2004 - DAY 10. (temp 100.3 @ 4pm) My ear swelling went down but my eye swelling went up. UGH. Will this never end?? March 10, 2004 - DAY 9. (temp 99.6 @ 10pm) Have you ever seen the movie "Alien" when that gross monster-thing comes out of the dude's stomach?? Well, I haven't . . . but I don't need too. I'm living it!! With all the kicking in my belly it is bound to explode any moment! March 11, 2004 - DAY 8. (temp 99.7 @ 3pm) Back to my old self. What can I say? The only thing swollen on me now is my belly! Next time you see me I won't be nursing a dinosaur! March 12, 2004 - DAY 7. (temp 99.3 @ noon) A WEEK (or less) TO GO! I am soooooo beautiful I can hardly stand it! Okay, it isn't just my belly that is swollen; it is my head too. (And I don't mean hives!) March 15, 2004 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Welcome the little "Ides" - One (1) Boy and Four (4) Girls! |

| Testing Rob's Kisses. |
| They pass with an A+! You're turn Odinn! |
| Odinn breezes by with a brief hello to Travis. |
| Stay there and hold my bone. OK, they pass! |
 |
| Mom took Odinn back to Atlanta. I am sorry to see him go but it was great to hang with the Palmers. I got a lot of great food and took naps with the girls. This is the LIFE! |
| Mom left AGAIN! Doesn't she know that I am in a fragile state?? It worked out okay. I stayed with Auntie Theresa and got to push Nia around. |

 |
| Little girl Aris And is that Bliss? |
| The boys Aiden & Oszkar |
| Mom is losing her mind so she couldn't get on the computer. She is waiting for the UPS dude to bring her new memory. That is why I couldn't write in my diary. |
