In Breaking News…

Today was supposed to be a quiet day here at Granite Glen.

Violet has had fevers most of the night.  I am a bit weary as a result.

A morning feed-up check revealed none of our Mothers To Be were showing any signs of giving birth.

Then, just after lunch, as Mr I arrived back to pick up the truck …

THIS…

Four and counting…

A couple of things to note:

1) Yes there is something funny about Patch’s bottom lip. She’s a scrapper and tries to fight all the time with the other bitches. One hung on a bit long one day. Hence the droopy lip!

2) Dogs often actually physically pull the pups out themselves. (And no, before today I haven’t noticed it before either!)

Just thought you’d like to be kept in the loop.

🙂

PS Violet wanted me to say that she took the close-up of Patch’s face. Which she did. (Need to get our bylines straight!)

UPDATE: At 3pm there were seven pups, with one only living for an hour.  (Violet was surprisingly pragmatic about the loss – that’s life on the land.). So six in total.
