Breeding one done

Today the first transcervical insemination was done around 1:30pm.  The vet was quite pleased with her progesterone levels and with the quality of the semen.  He said that timing looked great and today was a great day for our AI.  Tomorrow will be the second one and it will basically be icing on the cake.  Rylee stood like a champ for most of the procedure.  She started to get a little uncomfortable at the end, but who wouldn't? She stood on a raised table while the doctor inserted a camera to locate the cervix and once that was done, he inserted a flexible plastic catheter and inserted the semen directly into the uterus.  Rylee was such a brave girl.  Here she is below waiting in the room across the hall from where the AI took place.
One more time tomorrow and then we wait for a little less than a month to see if there are babies!
