It wasn't like Blondine really knew anything about pups or pregnancy or what would happen once either of Xan's mommas popped, but as medic, check-ups like this felt obligatory. However, from what she could see, there was nothing wrong with Laurel which meant that the pups had to be fine, right? It made sense that things worked that way; healthy momma, healthy baby. 

I reckon everyone is doing just fine, Blondine cooed with a wide smile and another glance down at Laurel's belly. I won't be here when y'all give birth, but I'll be back a little whiles later to see how its gone. Dealing with pups on the outside was a much less daunting task than dealing with them on the inside; at least then, she could be sure she was prodding a pup and not a kidney.
