Miss Rylee

Breeding took place on April 5th and 6th so it has been a little over a week since "mating."  If Rylee is pregnant, at this time fertilization has already taken place and the result is a zygote.  The zygote then begins to divide resulting in an embryo.  The embryos continue to divide and grow and head toward the horns of the uterus.  By the second week after "mating," the embryos have settled into their places in the uterine horns and are attached to the walls of the uterus.  Rylee is a little before implantation of the embryos but she is pretty close to that point.  This doesn't indicate that Rylee is pregnant because it is still too early to tell, this is more just for information about what is hopefully going on at this point.  Rylee is still taking it easy, no ridgeback play with her housemate Dexter, just nice long strolls through the neighborhood.
