Saturday is gonna be a romantic day for Lexa!!!
Well, sorta...


Good news...progesterone numbers were up again, so the vet has okayed a Saturday delivery. We will test again friday to make sure she has ovulated, and do the AI on Saturday if everything looks good. Hurray!

Adventures in Breeding...

So Lexa came into heat last week and the progesterone testing has begun...I took her in this morning and will be anxiously awaiting results as this is her third test in as many days and we are quite excited about getting the go ahead to breed! The saturday number took a dip, and I was reassured by Dr. Hess that it is quite normal. Waiting anxiously for that spike!

Meanwhile, training continues, even though the weather has turned nasty today- only 38F and sleet/snow this morning, but with Regionals only a few weeks away, we have to shoot for a good showing as long as we get an ok from the vet. :) Although I think both Lexa and I would be happy to stay in today.

More to come...
