Anyone had Puppies? Part 1

[nellie-m]

Most puppies are born after a restless night, in the early hours of the morning. From the first to the last puppy it may well take several hours. It's often two in more or less quick succession (one from the left and one from the right side) and then a break. Try and get some sleep while you can, VC, pull away from the screen and get some rest, the next days will be exciting and Bessie needs you more than we do. We'll all just keep pacing with fingers crossed

Well I picked a bad couple of days to be ill. I nearly missed out on all this excitement. Congratulations Bessie & VC.

Just wait until you have to name the pups

You could always name one after your young handsome plumber.... who's name escapes me at the moment.

[Potstubsdustbins]

^^^^^^^^^^^ That would be me then. Well apart from the bit about young, Oh and the bit about handsome, Oh and I'm not VC's plumber. But I am a plumber.

Just trying to imagine going out into the garden and calling the dog.....................Come Potty, Come..............Fetch Potty............Sit Potty..................
Could be worse - could be called.........................................Kevin

Funny you sound very, very similar to SWMBO there VC.

Fetch potty could be interesting!!!

[Jeanied]

Hey if it is plastic and bowl shaped Rosie will fetch it

[muddled]

No babies yet?

Righto, I'm off to bed then.
I'll pop in first thing.

Night vc, night Bessie x

Night Muddled
Bessie is hopping in and out of various beds and boxes, trying them all for size and comfort! I've no idea what she is up to and I'm not sure that she does either

[Jeanied]

Aww bless her, she is trying to get comfy to achieve her next task. Hope all goes well in the night for you all - sure you are going to be up to check on them both anyway. Same as me - 4 hours in, I have to be up to take baby out!

[nellie-m]

Make that plastic crate in the corner the comfiest of all and put a nice big chair next to it where you sit and read your book. She'll want your company so that will make this corner more attractive. Make it a quiet, peaceful place so she will feel safe and able to settle when it's time. Put some nice soft bedding in, too, that she can scratch around, you can always take it out when she's getting serious (constant panting for hours).
You could just shut the doors to some rooms, too, to limit her options. If you could put something in front of that crate so she can get inside without much jumping it would be great.

Here's a Bolonka for you
