Puppies Nearly here

Charlie

Exciting times ahead with 2 litters on their way. Both Charlie & Trinity are looking very pregnant & starting to slow down on our walks now. It’s nice having them waddle along side me on our walks.

Trinity

Charlie who is notorious for digging tunnels to have her babies in has started her digging!!! GRRR. She gets out of our section (supposedly fully fenced section!!) & digs.. Our trees are now quite well established so its even harder to find where she is doing it. I have been keeping her in the puppy compound when I’m not around but at night she’s upstairs with us. However this morning she came in for a cuddle & then…. shot down the stairs & she got out again.. So I will have to keep an even stronger eye on her and if I’m not outside to watch her she will be locked up!!. I have had her down a tunnel & not willing to come out an hour prior to her having babies & it is very stressful so the aim is not to let her!!

Luckily Trinity hasn’t got the same nesting instinct. Trinity’s last litter was born by cesarean so we will be also watching her closely nearer the time. We hope to get through Easter & then the girls will be close.

We have had poor old Tyler in at the vet with what they seem to think was a white tail spider bite. Looked pretty awful but did eventually come right. And also my little Tui gal.. she had a lump the size of a tennis ball under her throat.. Antibiotics didn’t clear it so we had to operate & found a jolly grass seed. It didn’t seem to bother her to much & she is fully recovered now. Tui’s best little mate Molly & her spend hours playing.. It’s pretty cool.

I had to laugh this morning.. I had my canary cage down to clean & the mirror was sending reflections on the ground.. there was the Hoons.. 12 1/2 yrs old chasing shadows again!! he’s still such a puppy..
