All's well here at the madhouse. My lovely Alfie has settled in nicely and although not a lot of sleep did I manage last night, they were all very quiet and relaxed, apart from piglet piddling on my new rug by the fire and poohing wherever it suits her, everything is going remarkably well! I shouldn't have said that, but this is my blog and I can if I want :-)
Having committed myself to raising funds for the local community's children, and it being written about in Take A Break Magazine, I now have much work to do. The children around here are a nightmare - only because they have nothing to do, so I have agreed to join Mum's Army, where they tackle the crime in communites.
Never having lived anywhere like this before, it was a culture shock, but I soon realised they aren't all bad, just lacking direction. So with my new hat on, I will go about this like normal and hopefully find council funding for a MUGA site and events and training at the local Community Centre.
It is political and should anyone reading this wish to know more, please email me.
Now back to Maddy: She is quiet today, and although she has eaten, she didn't go at it with her normal gusto - morning sickness probably, whilst Alfie is full of beans and playing with Piglet. For a puppy Piglet can be quite vicious..it must be in the genes I guess, but I'm hoping it is just playful. Being deaf must have some bearing on her behaviour too.
I am going to let them have a lazy day today as I don't want to exert Maddy too much...we may go to the beach or a stroll in the woods. We are very lucky to live right on the heath at Poole, so a few yards away and they are free of all encumbrances. Other dog walkers are often amused at Piglet as she is so cute - but fall in love with Maddy and Alfie, as their natures and personalities are perfect in every way. We should be blessed with some wonderful puppies. I can't see how I am going to want to part with any of them, but economics say I must. That is going to be the hard bit!
Although we are extremely hard up now, this wasn't always the case, but now living frugally puts me in touch with realism in all it's forms, and I prefer to struggle than to have it all on a plate, it makes getting up more of a challenge, and I have never shied away from a challenge in my life. Just as well really, as I have had more than my fair share!!!
Having my best friend coming to stay this weekend is going to be fun. Lets hope he brings some warm clothes with him for a nice walk!

Day 6
It is now 05.34am and I'm wide awake with three dogs chewing my ear for something to eat. Not yet chums, a bit early. I got up to let them out at 04.00am and decided to stay up and disinfect the house in preparation for the coming event. I will do this on a regular basis to make sure no nasties are lurking.
Even though I hate dirt of any kind, I know we all need bacteria in our lives to be able to build up a resistance. Maddy and the puppies room will be sterile though, as this I feel gives them the best chance of survival.
I have another neighbour across the road who is a well known dog napper. He especially loves Springer Spaniels. Knowing this when I moved in, I felt I had to protect Maddy, so bought 6' high cast iron gates and railings along with a huge padlock. Maddy unfortunately is the offspring of one of the dogs he stole and sold, so I'm not taking any chances. Cruella De Ville only not so stylish :-)
Less than eight weeks to go and I still can't get my head around it. It all happened so fast and unexpectedly.
Piglet is alseep on my lap right now, so I am finding it difficult to move without waking her - she does pick her times.
Bless him, Alfie has now joined us, and Maddy is in my sons bedroom with the 3 cats. Alfie laid down beside us all and went to sleep last night, so no whining and he did exactly what I told him.
I think he thought anything was better than sleeping outside the door , so intelligent and savvy, good boy!
An eventful day with the dogs. I gave them red salmon and rice for dinner - ran out of dog food, so raided my food cupboard. They all loved it - so I'll be looking out for bargains in the tinned salmon department in future.
After lunch we went for a long walk in the pouring rain. It was lovely and Chris and I both said what a joy they are to have around. They also got hellishly dirty, so I went straight upstairs when we got back and ran a bath.
Alfie loved it, Piglet hated it and Maddy hid as she knew what was coming. After bathing the first two I had to get Chris to carry Maddy upstairs. She eventually caved in, but sulked for about an hour after. Eyes down, no waggy tail and no correspondence. Time for a ball!
I am trying (without much success I hasten to add) to keep them out of the lounge when dirty as it has just been decorated and my leather suite has just been cleaned. Where did they go first? The lounge suite, shaking rattling and rolling - bless 'em.
Time now 20.51pm, the dogs are shattered - and to be honest so am I. What will it be like with 12+ of them? Fun finding out I guess but still a few weeks off yet. I hate waiting but poor old Maddy hasn't a clue yet poor love - only the love of a couple of very good dogs and two people who adore her.
I have pictures of the dogs which I will upload asap, but the jpeg is too large and won't upload, so we have to make smaller. Tomorrow hopefully?
Also I am allowing adsense to advertise on my site so we can hopefully earn some money. If anything untoward happens we do not have any money to afford a vet, and even though I did not try to get Maddy pregnant, the PDSA will not see to her as they are both pedigrees. I will try though as Vets aren't cheap! I hope this doesn't upset anyone but needs must.
Now to see if Alfie was being good last night or it was a one off...speak to you tomorrow!

Day 5
Fed, watered and walked, it is 11.26 am of day 4 and Maddy is very tired. The freezing cold made the walk a little uncomfortable for me, but Maddy and Alfie had a lot of fun with their ball. The air was like piercing icicles with claws - but even piglet didn't whinge,so all's well. It was lovely to come home to an open fire and a cup of tea! All three dogs are now very muddy and in front of the fire - I don't get a second look - and all want to drink my tea - weird dogs :-)
Being disabled doesn't have many advantages - heaven knows, but I am glad I am going to be around at all times for Maddy Alfie and Piglet, especially now - as they seem to be very needy right now.
Poor piglet was taken from her mum at 6 weeks...and although well looked after, it has left its mark. At first she was aggressive...frighteningly so for a puppy, but she is becoming adorable. I am hoping some if not all of Maddy's and Alfie's traits will rub off on her.
Alfie? He's just happy to be here! I must admit for the first few days he seemed a bit OTT, but thankfully now seems to have calmed down. He is a really lovely dog and I am so happy he is here with us.
Time for my jobs, if they let me. Mopping the kitchen floor is a must - there's mud everywhere.
Maddy is howling right now, and her being downstairs, I need to get to her...I think the honeymoon period may be over for a while, and Alfie's first encounter with the fairer sex may have to wait a while to be reignited. Let's hope so, as he really is a randy goat and Maddy must need a rest.
Piglet is asleep at my feet as I write this and the love I feel for her chokes me. I am so blessed to have such wonderful companions. I nearly had to give her back to my son and his partner and while thinking about it the other day, tears welled up and I just couldn't do it. She is so happy here and I am more than happy to have her, even though some times she is a royal pain in the proverbial.
Luckily my son and his partner took pity on me, as she was just supposed to be looked after until they found a house and settled. She is the one who nestles into my hair or across my neck every evening, and wakes me every morning with a waggy tail and a big sloppy kiss! Maddy used to but is a bit big now, however I do wake to find her curled up on the next pillow more often than not.
Since being in season she has been very good mostly, sleeping on the doggie quilt at the side of my bed, but just occasionally she jumps up and the whole bedlinen needs changing yet again. I said it was a good idea not to have a man about didn't I?
Rather sadly we have neighbours who aren't good to their dogs. Being left in a kennel all day and night with nowhere to run, and no way of stretching is tantamount to neglect. Would we treat humans this way? Howling day and night the poor greyhound has a nightmare of a life, and having called the RSPCA on more than one occasion and them not doing anything realistic, I have had thoughts of dognapping. Hm, I don't think I really want to cross these people - as they don't take kindly to taunts of cruelty to their animals, and having had the male on my doorstep after reporting them, decided to not interfere, but it's difficult - I was hoping they would now look after their dogs, but he is still howling morning and night! It is heartbreaking hearing him howl - but if the RSPCA think he is OK, who am I to interfere?
Well the end to another interesting day..I thought Alfie had been seen off by Maddy, but no, little minx changed her mind and has had him busy most of the afternoon and evening. It does get tedious, as they are everywhere you look, but if it makes them happy - I'm happy.
Tonight I am going to sleep well hopefully, as I need all the energy and sense of humour I can muster with my three muttleys! I think maybe the Maddy and Alfie must be exhausted, so hopefully no whining tonight. Wish me luck!.....

Day 4 Its going to be a long journey!
January 2nd and it is now 6.12am. Having had to keep Alfie outside the bedroom for two nights I am wondering if he will ever settle down. He whined most of the night to be let in and I was glad when 5.00am came and I could get up.
It has been a long morning so far and its only 7.00am.
Dear Alfie won't leave Maddy alone and she - having got what she wanted, (how typically female!) now wishes to be given a little peace - so I thought...but hell no, she is now trying to climb on him - it changes minute by minute - and I can't help wondering how long this goes on. I wouldn't mind, but they seem to be showing off for my benefit.
Maybe Bromide might help??? Can you give that to dogs? :-) I jest, but the thought's there Alfie!
Poor Piglet isn't getting a look in and is missing her friend - being deaf but very vocal is making us all aware of her plight with her high pitched yapping -ohmigod the pain.
I know I must be imagining things but has Maddy put on weight, or am I subconsciously overfeeding her? Note to self: must watch this.
My internet research is all very well, but gut instinct must come into play somewhere. It says plenty of excercise, but don't overdo it! With all the extra curricular activity going on, her muscles must be doing overtime...even though she just stands there! It's time for a walk on the beach - to cool his ardour and wear him out! Back later....
Goold Old blighty...very cold, dark and dismal...but we had a brilliant time on the beach....with a torchlight. Maddy is brighter and Alfie just looks shattered, but his tail is still thumping, bless him!
Piglet got lost in the sand and shivered her way through the walk, but we let her down to enjoy her romp with her friends.
Time now 8.50am and I wish to add my thanks to Rob Richards for kindly allowing me to use his animated picture of 101 Dalmations...permission from Disney has not been allowed, so please neither use this or copy! For more wonderful animation please visit www.robrichards.com or just blogger him.
Time for breakfast - no porridge today!
Things to do today:
Visit butcher..buy bones, lamb, mince, chicken and liver - added to rice with an occasional egg thrown in should work out cheaper but somehow I doubt it. They are all good eaters!
For Maddy's sake I have decided to do my own thing with food for a while. It is an expensive hobby buying supermarket brands and am always concerned what goes in them. Having seen a UK major Turkey Farm tell the press their disgusting food left out in the bins at the start of H15N break out wasn't for human consumption, it was dog food! Not my dog sir!
It is still early, but the dogs have gone for a neck on neck kip...lucky them, but wait until I get up to do anything other than sit here typing and they are at my side. Am I complaining? Not a bit of it...
We also have 3 adorable cats, Splodge, Sammy(sammy7toes) and Squeakers, so our food bill for all of them is horrendous. They seem to prefer food I cook especially for them, (apart from the dreaded porridge) but I must stop adding the red wine :-)
Alfie loves them but couldn't eat a whole one! Training definitely needed here.
Maddy and Piglet are now used to them and they ignore them completely, but the poor cats are driven mad by Alfie wanting to play. A few swipes and he'll get the message soon enough hopefully!
It's bed time and this is where the fun starts...Alfie is still whining! He is loud, boisterous and loving - and wants to kiss the world, but we are hoping he calms down soon. Maybe it's because we don't put him in a cage - or he just naturally this way - but whatever the reason, Maddy needs some sleep, as do I! Knee caps seem to be getting lower and lower!

December 30th 2007 Day 1, 2 and 3 Oooops!
Born February 14th 2006 and at 12 weeks old I embarked on the task of bringing up a Springer Spaniel pup. (Maddy) I was in awe of how intelligent, totally loving, loyal and fun she was - and still is. I love her unconditionally. Twenty two months down the line and I cannot express the joy she has brought to me and my family.
It didn't take long to realise I had been missing a lot over the years, and I am dedicated to making her as happy as she has made me. Our new found friendship is sealed.
Born July 28th 2006 and at 18 months old, Alfie (formerly Buster) came into mine and Maddy's life on the 20th December 2007. Maddy found herself a toyboy!
A neighbour wrote me a short note asking me if I would take her Springer Spaniel, as she couldn't cope - three kids and man gone awol plus boisterous dog and no time, I see her point! It didn't take long to give her my answer, and I am so happy to have been able to help her out. I also felt honoured she chose me, as her dog was a much loved pet!
Aged just 18 months old, he hasjoined us for ever. He is handsome, exciteable, loving and great with kids. Being Black and White in contrast to Maddy's Liver and White, is also easy to distinguish at first glance.
When I decided to take him on, Maddy had been in season about 6 days and not expecting anything to happen first time,(they're both virgins) I didn't worry too much! Knowing absolutely nothing about breeding dogs, I guess I thought they would just play around and have some dog fun. How naive? I was told the first time is good enough, and we now know we are expecting the patter of lots of tiny feet in about 62 days!
December 30th 2007: What a shock to find them joined and unable to separate...this was my first time too, and all I could think of doing was throwing cold water all over Alfie! Not thinking about anything other than getting help, I called my son Chris and he knew even less than I did.
A bucket and a half later of very cold water and kitchen flooding aside, they managed to disentangle themselves fairly quickly, and finding out what fun it is, they are now making hay while the sun shines - much to my embarrassment...as they don't care where or who's watching!
To say they are inseparable would be an understatement!
This blog is about the 62 + days from conception to birth and the joys and worries along the way.
Day 1: I think enough said about that day, but I am happy for them and totally excited at the thought of being a mummy to another bunch of Springers!
Day 2: New Years Eve and alls well, but Maddy seems very tired. Hardly suprising dear girl!
She and Alfie are playing and kissing amongst other things and I now go to the internet to find out what I have let myself in for! OH MY GOD!
Day 3: A new year and a sunny day - I decided to try them with some homemade porridge for breakfast. Doing my bit for my baby I thought - but neither of them liked that and promptly threw it back up, as did piglet..nice not!
My fault for adding olive oil and a touch of honey I don't wonder.
Now I have to decide where she will give birth..umm, I hate to say this, but she has slept with me from day one...and now so does Alfie (and Piglet, my white staffy pup of 13 weeks old that I said I'd look after and now own! The term pratt springs to mind , but she is deaf and needed a good home.) Not having had any sleep for three days now, I have eye balls down to my kneecaps as none of them will leave my side - help!
My side of the bed is getting increasingly small and I thank God I am no longer married or in a relationship, as no-one would cope with this :-)
