Mary

Me too Mary, I have 4 already and OH says he'll leave if I get any more...............mm could be worth thinking about

Thankyou,i'm quite proud of them,they are almost 6 days old and are coming up to doubling their birth weight,when i asked to help i didnt realise id be actually delivering them and getting quite so hands on !!!! But i'm quite glad he has let me get so involved,i had thought and now realise that i could read all the books in the world and in theory know whats what ,but actually doing it has tought me so much,like it doesn't just stop after the birth,i read so much previously about whelping and genepools etc but hadn't on the rearing and puppy stages,so its a wonderful insight,
Trouble is i feel like their mother(including the mommy dog,shes got very attached to me,no women in her house),i've been doing the night shifts and watching their progress,a few days ago i noticed the change in them forming their own personalities and how each behaves differently,AMAZING,i also think that they are so very like ourselves(BITCH) with the bonding and the worry when one strays to far in the whelping box,i can see the love in her getting more and more,it had been advised to seperate them unless feeding because of the dangers of crushing and because some bullys tend to be agressive/neurotic with them and not such natural mothers(mauling them a bit)(the breeder had done this before with one bitch)And after the tramatic birth she had, she unfortunately behaved like this,i also found out that the two the vet delivered he never put to her to feed,UNBELIVEABLE!!!(we did this when arriving home,god i gave them a piece of my mind),But i (maybe naively, think its because i'm a mom) decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and have not left her side, i've praised her,chastised her,helped her and amazingly she has become a wonderful mother,she needed a chance to bond just like we do,dont get me wrong i realise she'll still need watching like a hawk and i'm not gonna get complacent with her but with time and patience she and i have learnt loads,its given me quite a boost in one sense regarding my M.E and helped me push myself but at the same time im a mess healthwise but god it has been so worth it.I've kept a log/diary all the way through of every little thing so i can look back and feel quite chuffed and proud of them in a few months time when their gone................
(A very proud,knacked and can't stop going on tink sits back in her chair and smiles-wow)

aww theyre drop dead gorgeous!!
