Pups full on, Lucy full up & boots were made for chewing !

2/12/2011

Another hectic week with my Mum being admitted to hospital again Monday evening. She came home yesterday & seems brighter in herself today.
Running around & the pups now being full on, time is at a premium.
Dolly's litter is now 5 weeks old tomorrow & are into everything. They even had a 5 minute excursion onto the patio in a dry moment which they enjoyed. This time of year though you must be careful not to get them chilled. Our patio is well sheltered & enclosed so ideal for pups to make their first explorations into the outdoor world.
Ysabel's litter are 5 days behind Dolly's but are quickly catching up. They are just getting into exploring beyond their crate & today have been interacting & playing with Dolly's pups.
Both litters now react to your voice & are happy to be handled & picked up. They are becoming a big distraction in our home & great timewaster.
We have busy weekend ahead with 4 pups meeting the families who they will be joining in the future.

Lucy is now over 8 weeks pregnant & with 9 weeks as the average gestation period for a dog & 4 or 5 days either way they can give birth Lucy is now in the 24 hour watch zone.
She has been very uncomfortable today & has gone of her food & has been busy digging making a nest for the new arrivals.. Her temperature is dropping so not to many days to go.

Lastly Smudge. Our dogs do like leather shoes to chew & a couple months ago my husband David forgot this & left his dealer boots over night on the floor of the utility. Smudge adopted the boots & as you can see in the photo she is very fond of one of them.

Hello Jane, Best wishes to your Mum! The photo's are lovely and the families who will be taking pups home soon must be so excited. Lucy looks big now sounds as if she is preparing for pups, that will be more excitement in the house and will be fabulous to see her progress and of course her puppies! x

Hello Jane,

Sorry to hear that your mum has been in the hospital again & we hope that she continues to feel better. The photo's are super they all look sooooo cute! Just love the pics where they are asleep in the food bowl, I always remember these pics making Jodie & I really laugh when Roxy's litter used to do the same thing. Talking of Roxy as I'm sure you are aware, she is one today so will send you some pics over the wk end, she has been so well behaved with regards to the christmas tree doesn't bother her one bit, she made more of a fuss about the reindeer that sits on the sitting room floor she was soooo funny, growling & barking at it this did make us all really laugh she can be so fuuny at times. Hope that you & the rest of your family are keeping well & that you are all looking forward to christmas! Take care Jane

Best Wishes

Tracey xx

Hi Jane, glad your Mum is out of hospital again,hope she makes a full recovery this time.
The photos are all great. It looks like we have got the exhibitionist dog(lying on his back showing off his bits)! He should fit in well in our household!!
Good luck for Lucy, hope all goes well.

Hi Jane
It was lovely to finally meet you, your family, the dogs and, of course, the pups. We didn't think that it would be so hard to choose, they were all so gorgeous, but now we have, we are delighted with our choice! We haven't quite decided on a name but will let you know in the next few days. We will be counting down the days until we can take our pup home! It was very exciting that just as we were leaving Lucy had started to whelp - we are all keeping our fingers crossed that it went smoothly. My youngest daughter apologises for managing to leave her bag behind, thanks again to your husband for driving out to the station to drop it off. Hope your Mum is feeling better now.
Julie and Family
