Maddy woo and her mate Alfie look quite the domesticated parents to be, and I am so proud of them both. Maddy's belly is now beginning to swell considerably and although she loves her food, seems to have nowhere to put it. She seems to be eating to please us. Odd but true.
I have bought a new camera so we can take videos of the pups being born, which we will publish onto one of the internet media chatrooms, ie facebook, youtube etc, as I think it is good for children and adults to see how much hard work goes into dogs giving birth, and why puppies cost what they do, if not puppy farmed! It's also very cute, and I promise no gory bits if I can help it. I will try and put a video on this blog, but not sure how yet.
Having just bought an ebook on ebay for whelping bitches and training puppies, I can recommend this guy from America and will do if anyone asks. It only costs £1.76 for the download and is much cheaper and better informed than most of the others I've seen.
I have to get onto ebay soon as I am selling off loads of things for the puppy fund, but having seen the cost of whelping boxes fail to understand why people use them? A large cardboard box with rolls of newspaper with a quality waterproof lining and snug blankets should be more than sufficient, and a covered hot water bottle for the infant pups as they come out, or my body temperature - whichevers nearest! Some people are charging £150 for a box? Another ebayer charges £30.00 +£20 P&P for a home made kit, all I can say is good luck to them, but they must have more money than sense! Oh well...their business I guess.
They are both curled up at my feet as I am writing this, having been bathed and shampooed earlier. Alfie is gently snoring and Maddy is curled up on her bean bag blowing raspberries from her mouth. They are so spoiled, but they give so much in return who would deprive them? They are most definitely this womans best friend.
Back soon!
