The Famous Five

Well 5 is the total of the litter. Shadow has been back to the vet and there are no more. Bumble the last one was actually the biggest at 534g. They are all doing well. Shadow has had another injection to expel the remaining afterbirth and if all goes well later this evening the camera will go live. You will have to excuse any sight you get of my Mistress in her pyjamas or even in bed snoring. She says she doesn’t snore! I have reminded my Mistress that she should remain decent at all times. I just hope she remembers. It’s very hot in the whelping room and she might inadvertently shed a layer in the night – that would not be funny!

I’ll let you all know when the camera goes on and try to bring you some still photos of the next few days too. With these 5 puppies our breed now has 34 dogs in the UK. Well done Shadow. It will actually be 33 as one may be moving to Switzerland but we’ll update you on that over the next few weeks.
