Hello all, hope you are having a good day, bit long for the "daily thred" so i thought Id put it here.

Took Moose for his valentines "OP"

this morning, poor little fellow, then went straight to my friends house, who's bitch had began to whelp a few hours earlier, most of the puppies came breeched which made things difficult, finally tally, 2 boys, 2 girls, and unfortunately 2 born dead, a boy and a girl.

So 4 happy healthy puppies and mom is just fine.

Then it was off to phone the kennel club, but there is only so much "music" you can take on hold, so I gave up after about 9 minutes!!

Some lunch at the Harvester was followed by a walk with the dogs across the common, then back for more music from the kennel club!

Off shopping then and at 3.15, picked up Moose who is a few ounces lighter

but came home and ate his food like he was starving!! Wiggy doesnt like how he smells and is on the top perch avoiding him!

So thats my day off for today!
Dawn.

Glad Moose is ok after his little op

What breed is the dog that whelped Dawn? and when you say the puppies came breech do you mean bum first or feet first?

Border Terriers Fran. Bum first they came. The first one was fine, but she was dead, the second one was bum first and then all the others were including the other dead one. She had difficulty giving birth to a couple of them.

Glad Moose is home and eating! The others do hate that "vet smell", don't they?

Are they usually difficult whelpers Dawn? Maddie delivers most of hers bum first

without problems. I realise they are much smaller a breed than labs

They are not the best Fran, many have inertia, probably due to their stoic nature, and often end up with a cesar. They are also a very "narrow" breed, narrow through the body and hindquarters, due to the work they were designed for, this may also contribute. My friends Lab also had hers bum first, she had no problems either, then her second and last litter she has all the right way round! Funny these dogs.

Sounds like you have had a very busy but fun day....I know what you mean about holding music! I was ready to scream very loudly!! at the Vodafone music one day last week.

Dont even get me started on the Mr Brains Faggots advert which my local radio station keeps playing, its getting so bad I scream and turn the radio off! its normally when I am driving to or from work - grrrrrr.

Do you have any pics from today? x

A busy day.
Still think it was a bad joke booking Moose in for today! Did the vets comment?

A busy day indeed Dawn. Glad Moose is okay, they do have that vet smell when they come home don't they!
