Yes, it certainly is possible that Ruby is pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to have her seen by a vet. I would wait at least three weeks, then take her into a vet. At this point, the vet can do a blood test looking for the hormone relaxin which will be present if she is pregnant.

If Brie was around an intact male while in heat, I'd say it's highly likely she got pregnant during her heat. You can take her into a vet this week to get a blood test looking for the hormone relaxin. That is produced when a dog is pregnant. I hope this helps.
