Nope. Looks good to me!
Though maybe less so in summer...

That's not a puppy, it's a yak!

You are kind.

Dog is now awake and recovering from the Caesarean. We have sent the three natural born puppies in to join their siblings scoffing milk. We are just waiting for them to be checked over and her to wake up a bit more before taking them all home.

I am going to have to sell hubby's body to pay the vet's bill, but they are all well. I am exhausted, and the day isn't over yet!

Errr . . . What size boots is - was - he ?! .

 

[RCT(V)]

I concur.

YOU CAN TALK . . . !!

We're STILL waiting to see photos of your operation !! .

Oh, we have a total of 7 live pups. 4 boys and 3 girls. Pics tomorrow.

You know the omnipresent rule pertaining even to other less salubrious bits of Arrse. Pics, or it never happened.

Thank goodness it’s over,now your fun begins
Well done to you all

It didn't end there. Talk about The Longest Day! At 6am the vet decided that she wasn't happy about the dog's sleepiness and wanted to keep her under observation for another six hours. We came home for tea, toast and shut eye.

Called at 1100 and the whole family is doing well so we are off shortly to collect them.

I am too flipping old for days that last from 0510 to 0800 the next day. Luckily there were two of us to spell the driving!

Anyway, pics this afternoon, and I shall be sleeping early tonight.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts and good wishes. Now the fun really starts...

I was wondering whether @Kirkz Might want his skull. He won't be getting that one!

Glad to see they are doing well. Don't want to scare you, but we had little sleep for 4 weeks. We were probably over cautious as it was our 1st (and last) litter.
We did have to work on 3 or 4 of the pups when they were born to get them breathing OK. One was tiny and was fed from a syringe for a while, 8 teats for 9 pups can be a challenge if one is a lot smaller than the others.

good luck

Update. Still concerned about the dog's heartbeat, they are all staying at the Vet's until later this afternoon. We buried the stillborn Kilda under the spot where the next Raised Bed will be going, and wished her well wherever she went.

I am missing the dog now...

Harumph Dogs and Bitches.

Well, whatever you call them, here they are. Finally home at 5.30 this evening, 36 hours after starting the journey into the world. I am so relieved!

AHH Sweet. Hope you have caught up on your beauty sleep.

 

[Unremarkable]

Beautiful, all of them.

 

[Grownup_Rafbrat]

Beautiful, all of them.

I love the noise they make.

 

[Ravers]

Fantastic news.

Is mum a yellow and dad a fox red? Looks like you’ve got a good mixture of both.

Ahh puppy breath !

Yep, like squeaky toys. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Give it three weeks and you’ll be wearing ear defenders in bed and the entire house will stink of piss and dog shit.

I’m dreading it this time round. It was bad enough with 4 last time. We had to move them into a stable eventually because it was a nightmare having them in the house.

Can’t really do it this time round as it’s winter and given the price these things are going for now it’s not really worth the risk of theft.

Dad very red, mum red with strong yellow tendencies. Her mum is very red, and she goes redder with her Winter Coat. We were hoping to get some red ones, and were lucky.

Oddly, KC doesn't recognise red as a colour, so they are all yellow on their papers.

We decided not to put them outside because of just that reason. Luckily we plan to decorate the spare room and replace the carpet, so we are keeping them there.


It is right next to our room, so we may move to the sofa....

Of course I’m sure you’re aware what KC registered labs are changing hands for these days.

You‘re sitting on about 20 grand‘s worth of puppies there.
