<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Someone mentioned that Pearl
might be expecting due to enlarged teats. That is one option.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>Another is that she is going
through a false pregnancy. A good number of intact females will go
through a false pregnancy, complete with nesting behaviors and enlarged
teats. My Lucy's first season resulted in such enlarged teats she produced
milk much to the delight of my 4 month old puppy. Patsy also has
heavy false pregnancies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000 size=4>It is all quite normal for dogs
and wolves, enabling them to take over nursing duties if something fatal happens
to a nursing mother.</FONT></DIV>
