I can’t remember where I heard the phrase “Pockets of Peace” but it seems to be summing up a long weekend here on the ranch. This weekend has been loaded with pockets of peace from beautiful winter weather to watching Miss Asherah who seems to be filling out like a chunky monkey. She is enjoying larger qualities of her fav dishes of tripe, raw chicken and beef, raw liver and fish, raw eggs and veggies and is lately picking out small bits of things and storing and hiding them in various locations around the house –hmmmmm…..I think there might be some much-anticipated buns a’brewing in the oven. A Canaan sometimes saves and storage's a bit of food during her pregnancy in many interesting places. I woke up to stinky raw chicken wings hidden away in my kindling box for the wood stove – but I forgive her:-) She also seems to have a craving for my spaghetti and meatball dinners. Last night I dropped a bowl on the floor and before I had a chance to do a clean-up Miss Ash had chowed it down -saving a couple of strands of pasta in her crate for a late midnight snack.
She is still active with her exercise but is taking more mini-naps throughout the day. In the evening she enjoys some quiet time on my bed listening to her favourite singers Micheal Bublé and Sade. Her trim waist is thickening at the sides and her beautiful coat is even more soft and velvety than normal.
Miss easy breezy cover girl Ash says “Only time will tell, and I can’t promise that I won’t hide away any more bones for my hopeful brood:-)".
According to my calendar, she has just finished her fifth week of pregnancy. I am predicting pups sometime in the third week of March.
Here are a few rambling “pockets of peace” of the expectant beautiful mom & the handsome and dashing dad at home on the range.

Ash’s normal slumber pose is the infamous “Canaan ball curl" but lately stretching out on her side or rolling on her back is more comfortable. Ash says “hey boss I need to take a load off for a bit, and would you mind turning up that Michael Buble CD that I love”. |
 |
| Do you really think I will be a dad soon? |
 |
| Rook says "Yahoo!" |
 |
| An expectant dad keeps watch over his kingdom |
 |
Rook says "I wonder if Ash will have any mini handsome versions of me?
|
 |
| Rook says " I am just so happy - here are your gloves boss that blew off in the wind storm" |
 |
| Maybe I should do a bit of rodent hunting to help with the food supply:-) |
 |
| Back to winter watchdog alert |
 |
| A proud and regal expectant dad |
 |
| Easy, breezy, peaceful expectant mom-to-be |
 |
| Hey boss you don’t mind if the rest of the pack keeps the coyotes off tonight while I catch some more zzzz’’s |
