That’s funny, my Willow did the same thing when she was young.. She would start foaming at the mouth before I even started the truck!

Jay, I'm in love with that little tri-color sitting by your side.

This is my little girl Grace when we first bonded.

The second picture is yesterday at the vet counting her puppies.

Dave;

Yes. The sire is from the same Pinecoble breeding that produced Tess and I expect her to be very similar to Tess in terms of personality and prey drive.

Dean;

Love tri-color setters, big Ryman-type setters. Best of luck to you and your Grace. When is she due?

Jay

What a gorgeous pup, Jay. Congrats. It was great to see you this fall, but we must make a better plan for next year to bird hunt together again!

Grace is due to whelp in the next few days. Tuesday is her due date but it could actually happen any time now. We're taking her temp twice a day now and it is a steady 100.2 but when it drops to 99 or 98.9 it's down to just hours.

Vet says 7 but we think we see 8 and there might be another hiding someplace.
Grace is from a litter of 9 and her cousin had 11.
