They've arrived!


Pip has had her puppies. Seven beautiful, gorgeous bundles of joy. 3 girls, 4 boys. 3 tri coloured and 4 black and whites. Pippa is being a great mum and is being attentive to her babies. I spent an hour today putting names to markings and I've gone back in now and still don't know who is who and which is a boy and which is a girl. I've even written it down but that hasn't helped either. I was up all night with Pip on Sunday night/Monday morning. She had the first puppy at 2.30 am and the last at 11.30 the following lunch time. I certainly slept well last night. I have never gone a whole night with out any sleep and I'm in no hurry to do it again but it was worth it just to see them all being born safely and it's an experience that I will never forget. I woke the twins up at 3.00am and they stayed up for a birth and then went back to bed. Glenn said he was nearly sick when he heard Pip eating the after birth. Nick said I need to harden him up!

    Oh Jeannette, they are absolutely gorgeous! And clever old Pip! I'm so proud of her. I have just shown Jason the photo of the pups and we really really want one!! But I guess we aren't being realistic. You know what our two are like! I can't wait to get home moreso now to see you and the new arrivals.
    Lots of love to you all xx
