Fat Sheba

Sheba was abandoned when her owner moved to Texas about 2 months ago. She was simply left outside to fend for herself. It just broke Dave's heart, so I told him to bring her home.
Skittish in a new home, she sniffed around and tried to adjust. I sat nervously, not trusting her and certainly not sure of how she was going to be with my little ones. Dave kept trying to force me to pet her, but it was just going to take me a while to warm up to her. Dogs add another dimention to your life and being as busy as I am, I wasn't sure if a dog would be a good idea for me. I didn't want her on the bed, I didn't want her to drink from the toilet, I didn't want her to bark or scratch at doors.
The next few days I watched her closely as Maya poked and probed her, climbed on her, and sat on her head. Sheba was cool as a cucumber. Okay, now I can trust her, and begin to love her and let her drink from our toilet.
Sheba was kept outside as an un-spaid female with a un-neutered chocolate lab male. Over the past weeks we have watched her abdomen morph into a solid mass bulging with what we hope are loveable Chocolate Covered Dobies- either that or there is something seriously medically wrong with her. No dog gets that fat that quickly if we are not over feeding her.

I present to you: Fat Sheba! Another tell tale sign is the milk coming in.
Can any experts on puppies tell me... does this look like we're having puppies soon?
If they are coming, they should be here in the next week or two...
