Poppy update & there's something about the boy !

18/3/2012

 
Thanks Julie for posting it reminded me to publish your photo's of Poppy. Poppy is from Dolly's litter born October 2011. She was the little one of the litter but as Julie will know she might be little but she has a big character. Thanks for letting me know all is well & I think we will all agree that she is a beautiful looking little girl. 
Millie's temperature has dropped significantly today that I would hope pups to be here within the next 36 hours. She is very uncomfortable & her demeanor has subtly changed today. She is looking very big now but can still easily jump up on the sofa although finding a comfortable position to lie in once she is there is not so easy now she is so heavy in pup.
This afternoon the sun came out & I got a couple nice shoots of Millie outside with the three muskateers Belle, Toby & Jessica.
Toby I must admit has stolen my heart. He is like a heat seeking missile & as soon as I settle down in the evening he looks up from his slumber & within a wink of an eye is fast asleep strewn over my lap. His coat is like moleskin & normally stroking him in his slumber I am soon joining him in dream land. Dogs are very good for relaxing you especially if they are as chilled as Toby. When I look down at Toby on my lap with him being a tricoloured boy he brings back memories of my two old tricoloured boys who have not long been past away, although emotional they are good memories of my beloved Smidge & Pupster who will always be close in my thoughts. Toby is a proper boy being very funny especially as he goes through his gangle phase. His sister Jessica is also very dear to my heart but there's something about the boy ! I think you will see what I mean from the photo's tonight.

Hello Jane,

I have been checking the blog a couple of times a day, and I could not resist commenting tonight! I am so very excited about the arrival of Millie's pups, and I wanted to send my thoughts to you. I hope the labour goes well, and I am keeping everything crossed for thier safe arrival!

Also, just to echo your wise words on Crufts. It has been a very long time in the making, and I am so greatful for the action the vets took this year. I was also pleased that the TV programme wasn't afraid to try and tackle some of the issues that are so relevant. I think for long enough not enough has been done to effect positive change.

There are not enough caring and thoughtful breeders like you, and hopefully the show- judges will start to see that dogs who are bred with such severe health implications do not belong in the show ring. This is such a wonderful opportunity for the health of dog breeds to change for the better, and lets hope we see those changes soon.

As for life at Poundlane it sounds like you are busy, busy, busy! With such alot going on, I do hope that you were able to enjoy your Mother's Day!

As ever, I look forward to hearing on life at Poundlane, with a special ear to the ground for Millie! I can't wait to meet our new member of the family!

James :)

Hi Jane
Didn't get a chance to check your blog at the weekend. My you have been busy and it doesn't look like things are going to slow down for a while yet. I'm also very pleased that the Kennel Club is taking action, although I think they could have acted sooner. Still better late than never. Hope Belle's op goes well tomorrow and Millie holds off until Wednesday! Never a dull moment at Pound Lane. I can empathise with all those people waiting for one of your pups. I can't believe we have only had Spencer for 6 weeks, he's so much a part of our lives. Like all your pups he's also very clever - he even managed to send me my first ever Mother's Day card and behaved impeccably all day, apart from when he tried to eat a bee.
Good Luck over the next few weeks, looking forward to your updates
Trish

Hi Jane,

We are eagerly waiting for your up dates on Millie's progress. Bless her she looks so uncomfortable, hope all goes well. Lovely pictures of Poppy and your little rascals. I have to agree there is something about a boy. Our little Tri Louis could not wait for me to sit down so that he could jump up on my lap, he would often give me a look as if to say come on Mum sit down. I hope Belle's Op goes O.K. you will have your hands full with new pups and Belle's leg strapped up.

We are also very pleased with the stance the Kennel Club have taken over the insensitive & unscrupulous breeders, long over due.

Kind regards
Glenda

Hello Jane,

lovely pics, poor Millie looks like she has had enough now. The three muskateers well butter wouldn't melt lol. Belle looks really big compared to Toby & Jassica. I hope Belle's op goes ok., & that Millie has no trouble having her puppies. The weather here today has been wall to wall sunshine & Roxy has loved laying out in the nice warm sunshine. When the sun is out it is hard keeping her in lol. I will give you a ring & catch up with you soon. Regards to you all

Best Wishes

Tracey & Roxy xx :-)

Thanks Tracey - she was looking particularly clean and fluffy that day. Unlike today, when she has somehow manage to find the only muddy bit on the Common (it hasn't rained for days) and is very, very scruffy looking!

Ah bless, if that was Roxy she would have found the fox's poo. Now that stuff is in a league of its own. My god it bloody stinks!! I have never smelt nothing like it. :-( Roxy seems to like it though. :-)
