This bitch is driving me absolutely mad! 😆

On Friday she was definitely pregnant, even thought we could feel a puppy. Over the last couple of days I’ve been getting a bit concerned because I’ve really struggled to feel movement and now today I’m starting to wonder if all this really is just one big phantom. There’s no doubt that everything else is there – in every way she’s pregnant, except for the puppies being obvious! They should be really moving about quite obviously by now.

On Saturday her behaviour changed quiet dramatically, she became ever so much quieter, sleeping an awful lot more and started to look pensive. Then on Sunday night she was very restless but nothing else happened and she quietened down by Monday morning. Monday night the same thing happened, but this time it was accompanied by her sitting facing the back of her box just staring fixedly down at the floor. Almost thought we might have puppies soon at about 4am!

She’s not due until Friday night so time yet but I’ll be damned if anyone knows where they are with this bitch 😆 Even S & T who have bred loads of litters and have years of experience couldn’t say one way or the other. It’s been the most horrendous rollercoaster and couldn’t have been any less straight forward if it had tried! After all the stress and ups and downs now we’ve come this far it’s going to be so hard if she’s not.

On a brighter note the champ show last Friday was absolutely brilliant! Sam won Junior Dog, Sarah won Junior Bitch, Tosca got a 2nd in Puppy Bitch, Jason was 5th in Open Dog and Solei got a 3rd in Limit Dog!! (to Morris, who was 2nd) It took me all weekend to come back down to earth (and a certain Fancy could have something to do with that :rolleyes: ). It was a large class, he showed so well and above all I’ve now qualified him for Crufts myself for the first time!
